Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie have a similar understanding of Captain America values, making them both worth of the MCU's shield.

Some people felt that since "America" is in the character's name, he directly represents American values of "freedom, justice, and standing up for what's right" even though we can't honestly admit the country as a whole is upholding these moral standards.

That world involves the new Captain America, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). Unlike Isiah Bradley, he has no super soldier serum to boost his battlefield skills. What he does have, however, is a cutting edge suit capable of supersonic flight, as well as Cap's impenetrable shield. And he's got a fight on his hands against his enemies.
