Avengers: Doomsday
While many MCU production in the Multiverse Saga have sidestepped the multiversal narrative that should be pervading them at this point , it would make no good sense forAvengers : Doomsday , the first of two Avengers moving-picture show to wrap up the saga , to be suit . WhileAvengers : Doomsdaystory detailsare still forthcoming , we can be almost sure that it will focus on the multiverseand characteristic variants aplenty . While RDJ ’s interest has given wage hike to rampant speculation that Chris Evans will join him , the Steve Rogers actor has recently refuted such claims - but I ’m disinclined to intrust him on this .
Chris Evans Denied Reports He’s Returning To The MCU For Avengers: Doomsday
The Steve Rogers Actor Claims He Is Retired
study began to show up in mid - December that Chris Evans was the late MCU star to jointhe cast ofAvengers : Doomsday , according to a report byThe Wrap . Unsurprisingly , this supercharged the holiday season with speculation over his office , with the prevail theory positing that he would be portray a Captain America version - specifically , an evil one . Two months by and by , Esquirequizzed Chris Evans himself on the theme and hit a response , ostensiblylearning straight from the horse ’s lip that these reports were baseless and that he is " happily retired " from the MCU . His full inverted comma is as follows :
That ’s not dependable , though . This always happens . I mean , it befall every couple geezerhood — ever since Endgame . I ’ve just stopped respond to it … Yeah , no — happily retire !
It ’s unclear whether the event that Chris asserts pass off " every yoke age " relate toAvengers : Doomsdayspecifically , but it for sure speaks to his popularity . Despite apparently retiring inAvengers : Endgame , Steve Rogers is , for all intents and aim , still live in the MCU , so it ’s no wonder why sports fan are conjecture about when Old Man Rogers will pop up again . Still , I intend the getting even of a younger Steve Rogers , capable of getting back in on the action at law , is the preferred state of social function .

Captain America : Brave New World will be unblock worldwide this weekend , and it once again raises the question of Steve Rogers ' whereabouts .
Evans also insisted that he " stopped responding " to such reports , evidently cite the fact that he all but allowed the rumour John Stuart Mill to roil forth for two calendar month before speaking out . His secrecy , for many , spoke volumes , and while I was initially disheartened to see him definitively put a plosive speech sound to the conversation , I ’m now beginning to doubt if he ’s being truthful . We have , after all , seen another MCU doer read from this playbook before .
Andrew Garfield Denied Being In Spider-Man: No Way Home - Only To Actually Be In It
He Gave A Very Convincing Performance Before The Movie’s Release
Although he ca n’t be directly blamed , Andrew Garfield has kind of ruined the believability of MCU actors who deny their involvement in an approaching MCU movie . This is because , in the run - up toSpider - Man : No Way Home , Garfield was repeatedly questioned about being brought back as a Peter Parker stochastic variable in the movie , which he repeatedly denied . For example , when being interviewed by theHappy Sad Confusedpodcast in May 2021 , Garfield repeated that he was n’t called by Marvel Studios or Sony to return to the office , a clip of which can be visualize below via X :
Garfield also said as much toVarietyin September the same year , stating , " … it ’s important for me to say on the platter that this is not something I ’m aware I am involved in . " To be sightly to Garfield , he was n’t the only one fielding off these questions , as Tom Holland asserted toEsquirein February 2021 : " No , no , [ Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield ] will not be seem in this film . " Nevertheless , it seemed to be Garfield that was asked the most , and gave the most gushy renunciation .
This , of course , turned out to be an act . All but the most skeptical fans were stunned to see Garfield ’s Peter Parker appear halfway throughSpider - Man : No way of life Homeand go on to play a central role . In fact , Garfield was on top sort asthe funniest of the three Peters , and featured in a heart - rending moment with MJ as he successfully saved her life in a tragic recall to drop off Gwen Stacy inThe Amazing Spider - Man 2 . While I think Garfield deserves extolment for successfully throwing lover off the scent , it now puts Chris Evans in an unenviable spot .

I’m Having Trouble Believing Chris Evans' Denials About Avengers: Doomsday
Marvel’s Secrecy Policy Makes Believing Its Actors Harder Than Ever
Andrew Garfield ’s impeccable acting ability was enough to fend off accurate reports that he ’d be star inSpider - Man : No Way Home , butit has now sic a new precedent that other MCU actors will have to cope with forevermore . To put it bluffly , Garfield , Holland , and Maguire have proven that Marvel Studios has sanctioned outright deceit when it come to dealing with the printing press . Now , when Chris Evans states , " Yeah , no- happily put out ! " I ca n’t aid but doubt him .
Shrouding its projects in mystery has become as much of an MCU trope as the post - credits scene or the superhero landing place .
This goes as far as to treat anything but a categorical reception to the effect of " I will not be in Avengers : day of reckoning " as a tacit acknowledgmentthat Evans will , in fact , be inAvengers : Doomsday . In his consultation with theHappy Sad Confusedpodcast , for example , Garfield stop abruptly of unlimited state he wo n’t be inSpider - Man : No Way Homeand instead insist that he had n’t received a call . This , of course , could be totally lawful . alternatively , he exclude the part where he might have been ask to asterisk in the celluloid via e-mail or in person .

Now that Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans are both returning to Avengers : Doomsday , it ’s time to see what other Marvel stars could render evil .
The blame here , of course , is with Marvel Studios and the unequalled amount of secrecy palisade its projects . Shrouding its projects in mystery has become asmuch of an MCU tropeas the post - credits scene or the superhero landing place . The MCU ’s next film , Thunderbolts * , is a prime example of this , as a firestorm of speculation surrounds what the nominal asterisk represents . To be perfectly honest , I recall this is skilful . Quashing a vainglorious reveal is endlessly worse than stoke dubiety , and I ’d rather be pleasantly surprised at Chris Evans ' MCU retort - even if it is n’t inAvengers : Doomsday .
Why Chris Evans Has To Return For Avengers: Secret Wars If Not Doomsday
Marvel Can’t Bring Back RDJ Without Bringing Back Chris Evans
I experience likeit would be delinquent of Marvel to re-introduce RDJ to the MCU and not do the same for his Colorado - ace , Chris Evans , who is just as synonymous with the cinematic franchise . Avengers : unavowed Warsis the perfect place to do this . If it adapts the 2015 run of comedian as most ask , it stand to reason that plenty of Steve Rogers variant will live Battleworld , an eventuality that extends to the remainder of the MCU ’s fabled cast . At this detail , I ’d even be happy withChris Evans render as another characterentirely .
Chris Evans has already returned to the MCU once as Johnny Storm inDeadpool & Wolverine , and while I would much rather see him repeat his more famous role ( sooner as the evil Hydra Supreme),I’m willing to nail down for him following Robert Downey Jr. ’s leash . The details of RDJ ’s delineation of Doctor Doom is another Marvel closed book , but it ostensibly continues the precedent that actors synonymous with the MCU can render as different characters . With that in mind , there are some interesting routes Marvel could take .
While another Johnny Storm orCaptain America variant(like Nomad or Yeoman America ) are the most obvious picks , it would be interesting if Evans mirrored RDJ ’s portrayal of Iron Man ’s inverse by portraying Steve Rogers ’s own opposite , Red Skull . or else , Avengers : Secret Warscould have fun by having him impersonate another darling superhero team leader : Cyclops . Whatever the case , I do n’t expect he ’ll return after the Multiverse Saga , so here ’s skip that Evans is emulate Garfield , and we will , in fact , see him one last time inAvengers : Doomsdayor its subsequence .
