Superhero Hype reports that in addition to Thor's powers going to a female, Steve Rogers will no longer be Captain America. It was revealed last night on The Colbert Report that Sam Wilson (The Falcon, played by Anthony Mackie in Captain America: the Winter Soldier) will take up the shield in Rogers' place.

Marvel said in a press release: Robbed of his superior strength and vitality, Steve Rogers must surrender his blues for a sturdy cane. He's not about to fade away just yet though. The old maxims hold true: If dead men declared the war and old men talk about it, a young man must rise and continue the fight. If Steve Rogers can no longer hurl his mighty shield, then he'll hand it to one who can carry it across the battlefield, above the clouds, to greater heights than ever before. This fall, Sam Wilson flies where eagles dare, as the intrepid Falcon assumes his new role as Captain America.

The story begins in All-New Captain America #1 by Rick Remender and Stuart Immonen.

Remender said: "This is it. This is the fireworks factory we're arriving at, and now everything's going to blow up and be very pretty and exciting to look at. It leads into an evolution of Steve Rogers' character that I had very early when I was given the job. I think that it's important with these stories to do things that are natural and make sense and have an inherent logic to the universe, but are also constantly shifting and exciting, keeping the drama high. In order to do that it really comes down to creating new dynamics. I've been having a lot of fun writing Sam. It's a completely different attitude. The fact that he's not a soldier shifts things up a bit. Sam's not going to be Steve. Steve can be very rigid. That can be kind of joyless at times, whereas Sam is absolutely not that."

Editor Tom Brevoort added: "While Sam shares many of Steve's beliefs in a general sense, he's also a very different person with a very different background. He didn't grow up in the 1930s, he's a modern day man in touch with the problems of the 21st Century. For most of his professional life, Sam has worked as a social worker, so he's seen the worst of urban society up close, and how crime, poverty, lack of social structure and opportunity can affect the community. So he's got perhaps a greater focus on the plight of the common man, and perhaps a greater empathy for the underprivileged than maybe even Steve himself. He's also not a military man, so he's more apt to be instinctively skeptical of any situation that calls for just following orders. Sam, like Steve, will be led by his personal morality and beliefs as to what is right and what is wrong—and where his beliefs may differ in their shading from those of the previous Cap are where the interesting stories will be found."

Expect Bucky to be the new Captain in the films, that's what me thinks. They wanna keep the continuity separate from the comics they have stated. Also Chris Evans has said he's retiring from acting after the next Captain film. So i think they'll go with Bucky before Falcon in the films. Considering the whole second film was basically about Bucky.

And Bucky's been the Captain in the comics too.
