Chris Evans, who famously portrayed Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently shared his thoughts on whether he’ll return for the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday. In an interview with ScreenRant, Evans suggested that he won’t be part of the movie, despite ongoing speculation.
He mentioned feeling sad about not being involved with the MCU family, stating that it would be tough watching the film without being part of it, but also acknowledged the team is likely doing something incredible.
Evans’ comment sparked mixed reactions from fans, as some found his words to be cryptic, leaving room for a potential surprise return. His statement does raise questions, especially since he’s currently promoting his new movie Materialists and can’t commit to filming right now. The idea of him returning later-perhaps in a cameo or as a variant of Captain America-hasn’t been ruled out.
Despite these hints, it’s worth noting that Evans’ name wasn’t on the official cast list for Avengers: Doomsday, and Marvel has yet to confirm all its actors. Given the secrecy surrounding these films, it’s unclear whether Evans’ apparent absence means he’s truly out of the picture or just keeping his involvement under wraps for now. After all, Robert Downey Jr.’s return as Doctor Doom, despite his earlier retirement from the role of Iron Man, proves anything can happen in the MCU.
Additionally, speculation continues to swirl about whether the MCU will see its iconic actors reprise their roles in the upcoming films. Anthony Mackie currently holds the mantle of Captain America, and the direction the MCU takes with its original heroes-like Evans’ Steve Rogers-remains uncertain. However, with Marvel’s track record of surprising fans with unexpected twists, don’t rule out the possibility of a shocking cameo or new role for Evans in the future.
Whatever happens, Evans’ words add fuel to the growing fire of anticipation for the next phase of Marvel movies, and fans are eager to see how the story will unfold.
