Avengers: Doomsday’s Steve Rogers Role Continues A 12-Year Trend That Revolutionized The MCU

For twelve years, Marvel Studios has maintained a remarkable streak, beginning with the return of Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, that fundamentally changed the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the MCU has faced challenges in the years following the conclusion of the Infinity Saga.

Many things have caused these problems, but with the Multiverse Saga coming to an end, Marvel Studios is prioritizing a strong and seamless finish leading up to Avengers: Doomsday.

As a huge MCU fan, I’m already getting excited for Avengers: Doomsday! The marketing campaign kicked off a full year before the movie even comes out, which is a bit different than how they’ve promoted past big team-up films. Honestly, the Multiverse Saga feels a little less planned out than the Infinity Saga so far, but it looks like they’re bringing back something that really worked before, hoping to build the MCU into something even bigger and better.

The Russos Will Continue Developing Steve Rogers’ MCU Story In Avengers: Doomsday

After first directing a Marvel film, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, in 2014, Joe and Anthony Russo are now directing Avengers: Doomsday. The Winter Soldier is considered a standout movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not only because of its strong character development for Captain America, but also because it set the stage for the next three major films: Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.

The return of the Russo brothers to direct a new Avengers film, along with Chris Evans reprising his role as Captain America, marks a continuation of their 12-year involvement with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For over a decade, Joe and Anthony Russo have been the sole creative directors guiding Captain America’s story. While some fans worry about revisiting the emotional conclusion of Avengers: Endgame, knowing the Russos are at the helm offers reassurance.

Why The Russos Handling Steve’s Avengers: Doomsday Story Is The Best-Case Scenario For Chris Evans’ MCU Comeback

Captain America: The First Avenger effectively introduced Chris Evans as Steve Rogers. Director Joe Johnston did a good job setting up his backstory, which made it feel natural when he later joined the Avengers. However, it was the Russo brothers who truly developed the character, making him one of the most complex in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by testing his beliefs and highlighting what makes him who he is.

It’s understandable why some fans are worried about Steve Rogers returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after his seemingly definitive ending in Avengers: Endgame. However, if Marvel Studios was going to bring him back, having directors Joe and Anthony Russo oversee his story is the ideal situation. They’ve consistently demonstrated a genuine understanding and affection for the character. Therefore, whatever happens to him in Avengers: Doomsday, we can be confident the filmmakers have a well-considered reason for it.
