["near the end of the line"
I think Steve and Bucky's mutually enmeshed story arc will indeed finally come to an end in Infinity War. There's really nowhere else for the story to go. So either Steve Rogers will be killed or he will eternally wander the universe in a state of "non-being" as solitary, unhappy, disillusioned Nomad. It will break my heart but I actually think his getting killed would be preferable -- give poor, tired Steve Rogers the chance to end his lifetime of warfare and heartache and "go home."Chris Evans' Marvel contract is up after Infinity War, Part 2 (I think he'll appear in that film only via flashbacks). In my opinion, Marvel will kill him off rather than recast the role or sign Evans up for more.
So, alas, I'm afraid that those Brooklyn Boys are coming to the end of the line.
The advantage for Marvel in killing off Steve Rogers is that it will free up the Bucky Barnes character for new plot developments. Sebastian Stan still has at least three Marvel films in his contract. I'm pretty sure he will be given Steve's shield and become the new Captain America, at least for awhile.
The Russo brothers just posted this on their twitter
account and I swear my fucking heart just stopped.

And I also think Bucky and Natasha will commence a (safely hetero) relationship, given their common background involving the Soviets and the Red Room. There is precedent for that in the comics apparently. And it seems there will be a forthcoming Black Widow origin story movie in which it is speculated that the Winter Soldier's training of, and brief romance with, the young Natasha will feature.
Sorry, Steve, but bisexual Bucky has got to move on.
