Even earlier than San Diego Comedian-Con’s shock information that Robert Downey Jr. was back in the MCU as Physician Doom, we’d heard rumblings that Marvel Studios was attempting to deliver again just a few of its first Avengers for another team-up. Now, it may be one step nearer.

The Wrap studies that Chris Evans has joined the solid of Avengers: Doomsday, however intriguingly, the outlet notes that there’s no strong particulars but as to the character of his function. That might, doubtlessly, imply that Evans is not reprising his function as Steve Rogers, the primary Captain America—however like Downey is returning in one other function via multiversal shenanigans, as he did to reprise the role of Incredible 4‘s Johnny Storm in Deadpool & Wolverine.

This wouldn’t be the primary time Evans has been rumored to make a comeback after we noticed Steve develop previous and retire (through just a little time stone trickery) within the climax of Avengers: Endgame, passing on the protect to Sam Wilson for Falcon and the Winter Soldier and subsequent February’s Captain America: Courageous New World. Evans beforehand publicly denied a report in 2021 that he’d be returning for a then-upcoming Marvel venture, and within the wake of the aforementioned studies about Avengers returning being on the playing cards final yr, he once again professed that his time within the MCU was executed.

“Nobody’s spoken to me about it,” Evans informed The View on the time. “And look, I might by no means say by no means, however I actually—I’m very protecting. It’s a really valuable function to me, so it must be good.”

Maybe Evans has lastly been supplied one thing good. Or maybe a large, large amount of money. Perhaps even each!
