After visiting his former lover, she eventually died early in the run of Captain America: Civil War. Timing proved to be the true problem in Steve and Peggy's relationship.

But time didn't stop for Peggy, who had aged into an old woman (and had a brief TV show on ABC). Rogers put his life on the line to bury the danger of The Tesseract in the ocean, and was frozen for 70 years before eventually being thawed out. Because despite falling in love while serving together in The First Avenger, their romance came to a quick end when Captain America sacrificed himself. Peggy Carter always represented the one that got away for Steve Rogers.

In addition to introducing moviegoing audiences to the title character, the first Cap movie also introduced Peggy Carter, and one of the overarching love stories of the great shared universe. The origin story saw Steve Rogers go from scrawny kid to super soldier, making way for the myriad superheroes that eventually followed in his shoes. Obviously he had to be sure not to interact with his younger self, although he did have some luck when still living as a younger man: the other Steve was frozen in ice.Ĭaptain America's ending harkened back to his very first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in Captain America: The First Avenger. While it seems like the MCU could have the narrative, Christopher Markus believes that an older Steve Roger was alive during the events of the Phases One through Thee. So it’s not like they’d be running into each other. And anyway, for a large chunk of that one of them is frozen in ice.

I do believe that there is simply a period in world history from about ’48 to now where there are two Steve Rogers. So I reject the ‘Steve is in an alternate reality’ theory. So Steve going back and just being there would not create a new timeline. We are not experts on time travel, but the Ancient One specifically states that when you take an Infinity Stone out of a timeline it creates a new timeline.

Now Markus has seemingly confirmed that, saying: One theory was that the current Steve Rogers was living during The Avengers' adventures, watching a younger version of himself save the world. It was a beautiful and emotional conclusion, but fans had plenty of questions about the timeline. The final scenes of Avengers: Endgame saw Steve Rogers become an old man, after living his life with Peggy in the past.
