What do you think. Just like Old Steve did, could there be a time especially after Sam’s tenure as Cap, that he would pass the Shield too to Bucky. He could very well pass it quite early in the MCU, like in the Brave New World film itself, like if Bucky has a brief or mid/post-credit scene.
Sam’s wings in the trailers performed and looked very, very powerful, hence the Shield could be passed to a new user like Bucky, and the Captain America mantle could be retired (even if not forever in the MCU) too.
Like you said, it’s a big multiverse. I expect when we get a big multiversal film, like Secret Wars, we’ll get lots of fun variations, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Bucky with a shield.
But in the mainline MCU, I think Sam is the new Cap and will be for a while.
