Marvel is no stranger to fan theories, every new film or TV show set in the decade-old franchise is surrounded by speculation and rumours.

Falcon and Winter Soldier is no different, releasing straight off the back of Marvel’s last show WandaVision.

The show has continued the story and legacy of Captain America (Chris Evans), following his two former side-kicks Sam Wilson AKA Falcon and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) AKA The Winter Soldier.

The series has focused on how these characters can move on after the dramatic events of Avengers: Endgame, and how they will find a new place within it.

The series was directed by Kari Skogland, best known for The Handmaid’s Tale, The Loudest Voice and The Punisher.

Fans have rushed to Reddit.com ahead of the season finale to discuss their ideas on what may happen before the credits roll on the show.

Many theories are ranging from events that will alter the Marvel Cinematic Universe to ones that focus on individual characters.

Fans seem certain about one theory though – what is inside the box Sam Wilson was given in the last episode?

One fan wrote: “Sam clearly got upgraded Vibranium wings from Wakanda/Shuri in the last episode (like in the comics).”

Another theory is that Sam will become the new Captain America thanks to the same enhancement Steve Rogers (Captain America) got.

“Sam will get a blood transfusion and receive Super Soldier abilities, like in the comics,” the fan added.

Another fan explained in a different post: “Sam will get a form of the Super Soldier Serum despite not wanting it or thinking he needs it, which shows that he’s actually worthy of it.”

However, not all fans agree on the outcome of Sam being offered the serum.

One fan replied: “I think they will go the other route. I think Sam straight up saying no when asked if he would take the serum tells us everything we need to know.”

They continued: “They are probably gonna try convey that being a super soldier isn’t what makes Captain America, but rather the man himself.”

Fans agree the series is taking most of its inspiration from the original comics.

In 2015, Marvel released Captain America: Sam Wilson issue one, showcasing Sam as Captain America.

The synopsis read: “When Steve Rogers was restored to his natural age, he chose one of his closest and most trusted allies to take up his shield.

“Now Sam Wilson, formerly the Avenger known as Falcon, carries on the fight for liberty and justice as the all-new, all-different Captain America!”

Falcon and Winter Soldier’s season finale drops this week, April 23 on Disney Plus.
