The information is not official. Not yet. And we should not count on the person concerned, who has never stopped having fun with the press and the public in recent years whenever there was talk of a furtive appearance or not in a film of the MCUnor on Marvel Studios – at least not right away – to confirm the information that fell last night and was revealed by the American media The Wrap: Chris Evans will make his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
RDJ, the Russo brothers, the return to the golden age is confirmed
The Wrap specifies that the American actor, aged 43 and performing for a decade in Captain America – you know the heart of America! – would be in the credits of the next film Avengers Doomsdaythe one in which his colleague Robert Downey Jr will also make his big comeback. Iron Man and Captain America back on screen, with the Russo brothers directing: this is great in terms of communications and marketing and, above all, it recalls the golden age of Marvel films in cinema : Captain America and the Winter Soldier, Avengers Infinity War et Avengers Endgame. As well as their equally epic clash in Captain America : Civil War.
Except that if we know that RDJ, after a sensational entry at San Diego Comic-Con, will not return with the Iron Man armor but will play Victor von Doom (by Dr. Fatalis), nothing more has been leaked or filtered about the nature of the role that Chris Evans will play. As a reminder, the latter had adopted the features of his very first Marvel character, the Torchmember of Fantastic 4In Deadpool et Wolverine last summer. Considering the fate of his character in the film, it is unlikely that we will see him catch fire again.
A dark version of Captain America?
Given that the MCU is in the home stretch of the phase devoted to the Multiverse, we can very well imagine another version of Steve Rogers, a variant therefore, the original having ended up old, graying and without a shield after having transmitted it to Sam Wilson. A darker Captain America for example, perhaps like in the comics, a sleeper agent of Hydra…who knows? This would make sense, when we know the particular attachment that Chris Evans has for the super soldier and the comments he made to the press in the past, namely being ready to take up the shield only if the role proposed “was right”. Between now and the release ofAvengers Doomsday in the spring of 2026, we should know – a little – more about what the Russo Brothers have in store for him.
