Originally Answered: In which song do Captain America and Peggy Carter dance? The song is “It's Been a Long, Long Time”, recorded by Harry James in 1945. The same song was also playing on Steve's stereo, in his apartment, in Captain America: Winter Soldier.
What most fans didn't know, though, is which heart-tugging song would play Cap out to his happily ever after. We'll quickly run through why this dance was such an inevitability before getting to the added meaning of the 1945 wartime hit that serenades Cap and Peggy: “It's Been a Long, Long Time.”
The debate around Avengers: Endgame and its "Old Man Cap" scene continues, with one of the writers of the movie now stating his belief that the aged version of Steve Rogers (who appeared at the end of Endgame to pass his shield to Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson) attended Peggy Carter's funeral way back in Captain America: ...
Being Peggy's niece naturally placed Sharon in Steve's orbit as a potential love interest, and she proved to be a very helpful ally to Steve during the events of Civil War. It was during Sharon's final scene with Steve that he kissed her as a way of thanking her for the support she provided.
Peggy shoots a gun at Steve (while he's holding the shield prototype) even though she doesn't necessarily know how good it will work. This is because she saw another woman kissing Steve and got jealous.
We know from Captain America: The Winter Soldier that Peggy got married and had two kids, and Endgame seems to confirm that her unseen husband was actually Steve Rogers post-time travel.
Given his sense of duty, Steve would not simply retire from saving the world in the present-day MCU, making a different satisfying scenario for Evans' MCU exit almost impossible. Thankfully, Marvel cut Peggy's family, leading to Captain America's emotional MCU ending in Avengers: Endgame.
Diehard Marvel fans immediately recognize the big band melody of "It's Been a Long, Long Time" as Steve and Peggy's song, which is why it was so surprising to hear it at the start of Loki's finale when it played as part of the audio montage over the Marvel Studios logo and into the episode's opening scenes.
The lyrics of this song are written from the point of view of a person who is disillusioned with events in life that are supposedly unique experiences. The singer tells of witnessing her family's house on fire when she was a little girl, seeing the circus, and falling in love for the first time.
In movement, the Roger Rabbit dance is similar to the running man, but done by skipping backwards with arms performing a flapping gesture as if hooking one's thumbs on suspenders. Bobby Brown popularized the dance move, as seen in the music video for his song "Every Little Step" (1989).
The writers of "Avengers: Endgame" confirmed that Steve is the father of Peggy's children and that they likely have super soldier DNA. While Steve's children have not appeared in the MCU, in alternate universes he has a son named James Rogers and a daughter named Sarah, both of whom inherit his superhero abilities.
What is the age difference between Peggy and Steve?
Margaret Peggy Carter was born in 1921. That would've made her twenty three when she met Steve Rogers. She was three years younger than Steve Rogers when they met in 1943. Peggy Carter was obviously an intelligence prodigy.
Peggy and future Steve would have taken great care to keep his true identity a secret. And it is because he needed to keep this secret that future Steve did not tell Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) the truth about his wife when Sam questioned him about his wedding ring at the end of Endgame.
Chris Evans and his wife have finally made their red-carpet debut. The Captain America star and fellow actor Alba Baptista made it official in September 2023 by saying “I do” in a secret Massachusetts ceremony.
However, the how and when it happened ultimately hurts Steve and Peggy's MCU romance. Captain America losing his virginity to a USO girl in 1943 means that he did so while very clearly having strong feelings for Peggy. They had yet to act on them at this point, but their interest in one another was quite obvious.
The two understood each other and helped the other in situations. Peggy helped Steve realize he was meant for more and she helped in save Bucky and the other soldiers in Captain America The First Avenger. Peggy said Steve did change her life, even when they were apart for a time.
In Captain America Vol 5 #10, Earth-58163 is temporarily merged with Earth-616. In this universe, Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter marry but later divorce for unknown reasons.
