In a shocking twist that’s sure to stir up Marvel fans, Chris Evans is reportedly making a return to the MCU for the upcoming movie Avengers: Doomsday, according to a recent report by The Wrap. While we know Robert Downey Jr. is coming back as Doctor Doom, Evans’ role remains a mystery. Will he don the stars and stripes again as Captain America, or is there another Marvel persona he’s ready to step into?
Evans’ Uncertain Role in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
Evans famously hung up his shield in Avengers: Endgame (2019), leaving Steve Rogers’ storyline seemingly wrapped up for good. However, the MCU never stops evolving, and the unexpected return of Downey Jr. as a reimagined Doctor Doom has apparently busted open the doors to new possibilities. Evans recently popped up in Deadpool & Wolverine, not as Cap, but as Johnny Storm, only to be swiftly taken out by Cassandra Nova. Is this upcoming appearance a second chance at something heroic?
A Reunion of Legends
It’s not just about Evans and Downey Jr. The Russo Brothers, who helmed some of the MCU’s greatest hits (Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, Captain America: The Winter Soldier), are set to direct Avengers: Doomsday. This powerhouse combination suggests that Marvel wants to reignite the spark that made its past decade so iconic.
