According to the Russos, Steve's ending was planned just three years ago, preceding the release of Avengers: Infinity War (2018). Believable enough, especially considering Infinity War and Endgame work as two parts to the same whole. However, when looking at previous film entries and interviews from the Russos, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, it becomes clear that despite their assertions otherwise, Cap's ending was almost drastically different before those Infinity War plans. Right before Captain America: Civil War (2016) dropped, Markus and McFeely gave an interview to ScreenRant. During this interview they were asked about Sharon Carter, a longtime Captain America character who was largely underutilized in the films. The duo seemed forthright on their assertion that Steve and Peggy's romance was hardly one to write home about. "They kissed once on a moving car with Tommy Lee Jones in the car. Not the sexiest situation you can have. So you know in a way people go, 'Ooh that's weird.' But when you think about it, one, she's her grand-niece. This isn't incest. This is 'You're vaguely related to a woman I once kissed,' said Markus. This is a stark contrast to the quotes the duo have been releasing since Endgame's success. In more recent interviews, the two have made claims ranging from "Steve was Peggy's unnamed husband in The Winter Soldier all along" to "Steve attended Peggy's funeral in Civil War." It's pretty obvious none of that was planned given their previous commentary (and their work on previous films). The tonal shift in their interviews between Civil War and post-Endgame is just too stark.
