Falcon and winter solider

If it matters - the actor for Isaiah (Karl Lumbly) was born in 1951 - so he is approximately 20 years younger than Isaiah would be. Actually, he's 25 years younger than Isaiah would be in the show, as the MCU is 5 years ahead of current day.

Is it? I think by now it’s only about 2.5 to 3 years ahead.

Five years ahead in Endgame, which was three years ago, so the real world is slowly catching up. The MCU is currently 2023/2024, depending on the show/movie.

25-ish. Satisfied?

The Truth.

They could do that . . . . I would be surprised if they did. We've got plenty of time before it becomes an issue, though!

We have a precedent, as they recast Rhodey and just kept on. He wasn't the headliner, but it's a start.

That said, I'm hoping they don't. Just because they can and all that.

Maybe the whole frozen in ice for 70 years thing screwed it up in his system. Plus, look at Isaiah and his age. The version given to him did not slow his aging. So far, Bucky is the only one to get a version of the serum that has truly stopped his aging.

If Isaiah is a World War II veteran, the Super Soldier serum may not have stopped his aging but it sure as hell slowed it-- Cap and Bucky are over 100 years old, and Isaiah looked to be, maybe, in his sixties.

The big difference for most characters is Captain American involves a fixed point in time and in an important way. Magneto is also importantly tied to the WWII timeframe. Most everyone else has any specific reference in time downplayed. Who remembers that Black Widow was a kid at Stalingrad? Or that Ben Grimm and Reed Richards are WWII vets? Or that Charles Xavier was a Korean War vet?

It's ironic that Charles Xavier's Korean War service (along with his stepbrother's) is largely downplayed and ignored while Magneto's formative years in the Holocaust are not. They really won't be able to keep Magneto's origins fixed there for much longer-- he should already be at least in his nineties, and they have already cloned and/or de-aged him at least once.

The war that forged Frank Castle has already been brought forward to Afghanistan. Flash Thompson lost his legs in Iraq.

Makes you wonder what wars they'll have fought in when our great-grandchildren are reading about them.

Also makes you wonder what's going to happen to the 2099 universe in -- checks watch -- another seventy-eight years.

Just looked at the post you quoted and I realized there was a word I thought I typed, but did not. It should have said "the version given him did not slow his aging much".

We have precedent for recasting headliners too. See: Hulk.

What is 25-ish? The year?

Endgame starts in 2018 and then time-jumps to 2023. Wandavision is in 2023. Falcon and Winter Soldier is about 6 months after the return Snap, so Spring of 2024. The school trip in Spiderman: Far From Home is in the Summer of 2024 because it is specifically said in the movie that the Snapped people "returned 8 months ago". There is nothing released yet that is later than that in the MCU timeline.
