Awesomely epic illustrations and murals by Mississippi artist Michael Roy, aka Birdcap.

Maybe neither of them actually pick up the shield in the mini-series and it happens later in a movie.

BuckyCap could still happen. 

Like early on Sam & Bucky have a discussion about why Steve gave the shield to one and not the other, and Bucky says something to the effect that he doesn’t deserve it and no one trusts him etc.

And then later on, a situation comes up where Sam is somehow incapacitated, and the shield is just sitting there, and it’s a do-or-die situation like it was in Siberia in Civil War and Bucky is just like, oh crap--oh well, I know how to use this thing. He saves the day, and then Sam gets an idea, and Bucky is like--oh no, oh no no no no--it takes some persuading, but he caves. 

We could easily get a scenario where they’re taking turns with the shield on different missions, confusing the heck out of the bad guys. That would be very entertaining. “Yeah, that’s Sam Wilson the flying man but in red white and blue but WHO ARE YOOOOU?????” Bucky gets a Cap uniform that hides his metal arm, he’s got his hair tucked under a helmet, they don’t know it’s the ex-Winter Soldier. They think it’s Steve back from the dead or whatever. 

There’s TWO of them, what the hell? One of them can fly, bad enough for us--the bad guys are constantly on their toes, wondering which one they’ll have to worry about today--

Sam and Mystery!Cap play into an elaborate scheme to defeat the villain (hopefully Zemo). Maybe it backfires like in the comics. But Bucky does prove himself worthy--as worthy as hobo!Thor in Endgame still proved himself able to wield Mjolnir, I might add.
