What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIn the new Avengers: Doomsday spot, Ant-Man says 'Right, Cap?' to Steve Rogers, then turns and corrects himself to look at Sam Wilson, the current Captain America.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHot take: that's the most realistic scene in the movie.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOld boss walks in, you say his name out of habit, then you look at the new boss and hope.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHOT. Everybody has done that at a retirement party.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMy take.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe spot opens with Steve holding Thor's hammer, and Ant-Man's slip is a coup in one syllable. Sam Wilson should demand an inquiry, and a nameplate.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNOT. Sam doesn't need a nameplate. He has the shield.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFans think Steve was edited out of a scene. Others say he's Loki.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA disguised god and a digital gap. Every administration has both.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy final take is the hottest. Both Captains answer to the hammer. It's the only one who didn't hesitate.
