It is likely that Brambleclaw will become leader after Firestar since Brambleclaw is currently the deputy. However, anything is possible.
Some possibilities for the new leader include:
There are many other possibilities as well.
Answer to above answer:
It has already been confirmed that Brambleclaw nor Greystripe will become leader after Firestar.
Another thing that I have noticed is that Erin Hunter never uses the same leader name twice. Example: The leader of Skyclan when they were forced to leave the forest was named Cloudstar, so Cloudtail well not become leader after firestar dies.
Lionblaze becoming clan leader is a posibility, and so is Cinderheart.
Also I know people keep asking is 'how many lives does firestar have left?'
He has 2 lives left at the end of fading echos, the second book of omen of the stars.
It has also been confirmed that Firestar is going to die at the end of the fourth series.
Brambleclaw, which will be Bramblestar.
actually Brambleclaw will NOT become leader. In a recent chat with Erin Hunter she states that brambleclaw will never become leader and that some unexpected cat will become leader
We don't actually know, apparently Brambleclaw gets blinded so some other possibilities are-
Cinderheart
Dovewing
Ivypool
Lionblaze
My guess is Lionblaze.
other possobilities are
Brackenfur
Sandstorm
Dustpelt
Graystripe
It seems likely that it will be Brambleclaw because he is the current deputy of Thunderclan, but it is possible that he could die before Firestar, in which case it is likely that Graystripe would become the deputy, and possibly leader. There are other possibilites, but we won't know for sure until Firestar dies.
Presumably Brambleclaw, since he is deputy.
Also Graystripe is really old. He probably wont be leader, he'll become an elder first. Maybe.

Erin hunter has revealed that Brambleclaw will never be leader and that the new one will be someone unexpected. SPOILERS!!! Some say it will be Lionblaze, others Hollyleaf (since she was never confirmed dead), Dovewing(that's Dovepaw's warrior name), Graystripe, Cloudtail etc... But you'll never know with the Erins!
i have never heard erin's comments but according to the warrior code i think he will..................but if he doesn't it might be graystripe, or brackenfur, or squirrelflight, or (although i don't think this is possible) sandstorm
Brambleclaw will become leader. But I have heard rumers that brambleclaw will be banquished from Thunderclan, go blind and be retired,die in 2 months,stoped from being leader, so IDK.But its most certain to be Brambleclaw.
Brambleclaw would be the one to succeed Firestar currently, but in the rare occasion that Firestar would choose a different warrior just before his death like Tallstar chose Onestar (was Onewhisker), then obviously the cat chosen would be the leader. So the deputy ALMOST always succeeds the leader if the leader is incapable of continuing his leadership.
As of now, Brambleclaw is deputy, so if he is alive after Firestar loses his last life, he will be leader. But some rumors are going he won't make it. This person is sorta right Brambleclaw is not going to be Thunderclans leader he either dies because of the battle with dark forest cats led by the evil one aka Tigerstar but Brambleclaw does not become leader its either Lionblaze or Cinderheart i think hope that helped
Bramblestar. During the great battle, Firestar loses his last life due to wounds, leaving Bramblestar as the new leader of thunderclan.
Spoiler alert! Bramblestar becomes the leader of ThunderClan after Firestar's death.
After Firestar dies a tragic death, Brambleclaw is killed by Hawkfrost. Jayfeather recieves a sign from StarClan declaring that HOLLYLEAF will be the new Clan Leader!
no, after firestar dies, brambleclaw becomes leader and squirrelflight becomes the deputy
Fireheart becomes the leader of ThunderClan after Bluestar's death, taking on the new name Firestar. He leads the clan with strength and wisdom, guiding them through many challenges and battles.
After Bluestar dies, in Thunderclan, the next leader becomes Firestar. After Crookedstar dies, in Riverclan, the next leader becomes Leopardstar, then Mistystar. After Tallstar dies, in Windclan, the next leader becomes Onestar. After Brokenstar is exiled, in Shadowclan, the next leader becomes Nightstar, then Tigerstar, then Blackstar.
Firestar dies and a mew cat machetestar becomes leader
Fireheart becomes leader after Bluestar!!!!! He becomes Firestar. You were either on a book between 1-3 or didn't read the books. No one reads the books. I can't be a fan without reading, because then I won't know what happens.
If he becomes deputy of Brambleclaw once Firestar dies and once Bramblestar dies. Sorry but Hawkfrost read the question carefully. Lionblaze would only succeed Firestar if something happened to Brambleclaw before becoming leader. Then if he was chosen to be leader he would be Firestar's succesor.Hawkfrost's answer said Bramblclaw would be Firestars succesor.
After Tigerstar's death, Rowanstar becomes the next ShadowClan leader.
Firestar dies and brambleclaw does not come the next leader
No, he'll die in the same battle as Firestar.
after she dies, fireheart becomes firestar, and graystripe is made deputy.
He becomes Thunderclan leader.
Well I think Brambleclaw will still be the leader.
