Chris Evans Returning to the MCU in Avengers: Doomsday?
Excitement is building as reports suggest Chris Evans could be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in Avengers: Doomsday. Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, who helmed iconic MCU films like Avengers: Endgame, the movie is set for release on May 1, 2026. While Evans’ return as Captain America is unlikely, the possibility of him reprising his role as Steve Rogers has sparked widespread speculation.
Will Steve Rogers Appear in Avengers: Doomsday?
After his emotional exit in Avengers: Endgame, many fans thought Chris Evans’ time in the MCU was over. However, with the ongoing multiverse storyline, there’s a chance he could return as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday. Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, now the new Captain America, is expected to take center stage in the film. But Evans could still make an appearance, possibly as a variant of Steve Rogers in the multiverse.
Evans recently made headlines for his cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, where he revisited his role as Johnny Storm from the early Fantastic Four films, further fueling speculation about his return.
The Russo Brothers and a Star-Studded Cast
The Russo brothers’ return to direct Avengers: Doomsday has fans excited. Known for their work on Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, their involvement promises an action-packed, high-stakes film. The cast will also include Robert Downey Jr. as the main villain, Dr. Doom, adding a multiversal twist to the story.
In addition to Downey Jr., the new Fantastic Four cast, featuring Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Vanessa Kirby, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, will join the film, making it even more enticing to MCU fans.
Speculation About Chris Evans’ Return
While Chris Evans has previously expressed reluctance to return without a strong reason, speculation around his role in Avengers: Doomsday continues. Whether as Steve Rogers, a variant, or in a new role, his return would be a monumental moment for MCU fans.
With its star-studded cast, multiverse twists, and the Russo brothers’ direction, Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be a major event in the MCU. Fans can’t wait to see what’s in store when the film hits theaters in 2026.
