Chris Evans is returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and has joined the ensemble cast of Joe and Anthony Russo’s Avengers: Doomsday. So, it looks like those rumors of the actor signing on to these films were true.
While it’s not confirmed who he will be playing, it safe to assume that he will reprise his role as Steven Rogers. The report says that Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson character will also return as Captain America, and that seeing Rogers back in his Cap. costume is “less likely.”
It’s no surprise to me that Evans would return to play Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars considering the stories that these films are inspired by in the comics.
It was previously reported that several original MCU characters will return in the next two Avengers films. Just wait until you see the line-up of these characters! There are going to be a few surprises that you don’t expect, and there are things in Doomsday that will blow fans minds.
As you know, Robert Downey Jr. is set to play Doctor Doom in the Avengers films, and he is sure to put these heroes through hell.
It was also previously confirmed that the new Fantastic Four team of Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Vanessa Kirby and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are also set to star in Avengers: Doomsday. That’s not surprising either as The Fantastic Four: First Steps will introduce Doctor Doom into the MCU.
Kevin Feige previously said: “Finally, [we’re] bringing Marvel’s First Family into the MCU. They wrap next week, the movie comes out next summer, and then all those characters go right into the next Avengers movies, so I’m very excited for the future of the Fantastic Four.”
Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on May 1, 2026. The Russos have Avengers: Secret Wars happening in May 2027.
