Twitter user @TheNenya replied to Marvel's tweet, writing, "Together until the line. Or until bad, inconsistent, out-of-character writing turns Steve Rogers into his own anti-thesis. Shouldn't it be 'together until the end of the lie' now?"
Stan shared the entire exchange on his Instagram Story, adding a flushed face emoji.

This controversy refers to the ending of "Avengers: Endgame," in which Steve time traveled back to the 1940s so that he could spend his life with his lover, Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). The character reappeared to Bucky and his friend Sam Wilson in the present as an old man, so that he could present Sam with his shield and name him as the next Captain America.
Although this scene sets up the upcoming Disney Plus series "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," some Marvel fans believed that Steve's decision was out of character. They argued that the character's "Phase Three" arc revolved around him letting go of his past and bonding with the Avengers.
"Star Wars" actor John Boyega, who recently received backlash for his tweets criticizing how "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" handled Rey's (Daisy Ridley) relationships with Finn (Boyega) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), posted a tweet playfully "welcoming" Stan to the club.
