Chris Evans, famous for his role as Captain America, is reportedly set to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Avengers: Doomsday. While exact details are scarce, fans are eagerly awaiting his appearance in the highly anticipated film, directed by the Russo brothers, Joe and Anthony.

Chris Evans’ Possible Role

The latest reports, including those from Deadline, suggest that Chris Evans’ return to the MCU will not see him reprise the role of Captain America directly. Instead, Anthony Mackie will continue portraying Captain America as Sam Wilson, following his transformation into the iconic hero in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Despite this, Evans’ potential appearance is still generating buzz. While it’s unlikely that Evans will suit up as Captain America again, some sources indicate that a return of Steve Rogers, his beloved character, is still a possibility, though specifics remain unclear.

Deadpool & Wolverine Cameo

Chris Evans recently made waves with his cameo as Johnny Storm in Deadpool & Wolverine, marking his return to the role he originally played in the early 2000s Fantastic Four films. This brief but notable appearance was a highlight of the movie, which went on to become the highest-grossing R-rated film in the MCU.

This cameo fueled speculation that Evans may return to the MCU in another major role, though it is still unknown whether he will portray Steve Rogers or a new character. Regardless, fans of the actor are thrilled by the possibility of his involvement in future MCU projects.

Avengers: Doomsday and Cast

Avengers: Doomsday, slated for release on May 1, 2026, will feature several key Marvel characters, including some from earlier phases of the franchise. A major highlight of the upcoming film is the confirmed appearance of Robert Downey Jr., who will return as the supervillain Dr. Doom. This development is likely to introduce a new multiverse storyline, expanding the MCU even further.

In addition, the film will feature the new Fantastic Four lineup, with Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Vanessa Kirby, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach joining the MCU. This new roster is expected to have a significant role in shaping the future of the franchise.

A Legacy of Captain America

Chris Evans first donned the Captain America suit in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), before appearing in subsequent films, including Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) and Captain America: Civil War (2016). He last portrayed Steve Rogers in Avengers: Endgame (2019), where the character’s arc came to a conclusion, leaving fans with an emotional farewell.

Although Evans’ return in Avengers: Doomsday remains uncertain, the fact that original characters are coming back to the MCU has only intensified excitement among fans. As the MCU enters a new phase, many are hopeful that the legacy of Steve Rogers will continue to influence the events of upcoming films.
