As of 2025, Captain America is portrayed by Anthony Mackie, who takes on the role following Chris Evans' portrayal of the character in previous Marvel films. Mackie's character, Sam Wilson, also known as Falcon, officially becomes Captain America in the Disney+ series "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," which sets the stage for his continued role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including future movies.

There isn't a standalone "Winter Soldier" movie. The character, Bucky Barnes, also known as the Winter Soldier, is prominently featured in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (2014) and later appears in other Marvel films, including "Captain America: Civil War" (2016) and the Disney+ series "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" (2021). His storyline is explored in these films and shows, but as of now, there has been no separate film solely focused on the Winter Soldier.

In "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," Chris Evans portrays Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America. Following Evans' departure from the role, Anthony Mackie, who plays Sam Wilson (the Falcon), is set to take up the mantle of Captain America. This transition is explored in the Disney+ series "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," where Sam Wilson officially becomes the new Captain America, continuing the legacy of the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The Winter Soldier, also known as Bucky Barnes, is not featured in the new Captain America movie, "Captain America: Brave New World," primarily because the focus of the film shifts to new characters and storylines within the MCU. While Bucky's character has been central in previous films, the narrative direction aims to explore Sam Wilson's journey as the new Captain America, along with introducing new threats and allies. The absence of Bucky allows for fresh developments and themes in the evolving Marvel Cinematic Universe.
