According to reports, the beloved actor might reprise his iconic role as Steve Rogers in the upcoming Marvel blockbuster, Avengers: Doomsday.

Chris Evans returns to Marvel Cinematic Universe for Avengers: What to Expect
The specifics of Chris Evans’ return remain shrouded in mystery. Sources suggest that while Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson will carry the mantle as the new Captain America, Evans could appear as Steve Rogers. Whether this entails a time-travel twist, a multiversal narrative, or even a mentor-like role remains to be seen.
Fans last saw Evans as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Endgame, where the character passed on his shield to Sam Wilson. Although Evans has been hesitant about revisiting his role without a compelling storyline, the buzz around Avengers: Doomsday suggests that Marvel may have found a way to make it happen.

The movie also maintains a versatile cast that includes the new Fantastic Four lineup featuring Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby, as well as Robert Downey Jr., who will reportedly play the antagonist Dr. Doom.
Evans recently reignited fan nostalgia with a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, revisiting his earlier Marvel role as Johnny Storm from Fox's Fantastic Four.
Marvel’s Upcoming Lineup
With Avengers: Doomsday slated for a May 1, 2026 release, the wait is very long. However, Marvel fans can look forward to Captain America: Brave New World, featuring Anthony Mackie as the new Cap, scheduled for February 14, 2025.
Chris Evans’ rumored return is another example of Marvel’s dedication to blending nostalgia with fresh storytelling, keeping fans engaged with its ever-expanding cinematic universe.
