He could do this all day: Chris Evans reportedly returning to MCU in 'Avengers: Doomsday'

As a movie buff with over three decades of cinematic experiences under my belt, I can confidently say that Chris Evans returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is as exciting as a fresh popcorn bucket on a Friday night. The Russo brothers back at the helm? That’s like having your favorite director whip up a homemade meal after a long day.

According to reports, it seems that Chris Evans might be rejoining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, potentially sharing the screen once more with his old Avengers partner, Robert Downey Jr., in a new film titled “Avengers: Doomsday.

Initial reports suggest that Chris Evans, known for his role as Captain America, will be rejoining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The specifics of his role and the extent to which he’ll be involved remain unclear at this point. Both Variety, Hollywood Reporter, and Deadline have confirmed this comeback, but they too have not provided many details.

On Tuesday, neither Evans’ nor Marvel Studios’ representatives provided an immediate response when approached by The Times regarding our request for a comment.

It’s undecided whether Chris Evans, famous for his portrayal of Captain America Steve Rogers and occasional appearances as this character across various Marvel Cinematic Universe films, will return to that role or assume a fresh one in “Avengers: Doomsday,” set to hit theaters in May 2026.

With excitement growing for the upcoming fourth ‘Captain America’ film, there’s no doubt that Anthony Mackie will take on the role of wielding the symbolic shield – it won’t be Chris Evans this time around.

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve been a long-time admirer of Robert Downey Jr., who catapulted the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the stratosphere when he debuted as the dashing billionaire Tony Stark in 2008’s “Iron Man.” His journey as the leading Avenger came to an epic close in 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” where he selflessly gave his life to save the universe. However, Downey is shaking things up by stepping into the shoes of the villainous Dr. Victor von Doom, aka “Doctor Doom,” in the upcoming film “Avengers: Doomsday.” This iconic character, hailing from Marvel’s “Fantastic Four” comics, will reportedly be a variant of Tony Stark in this movie, as per The Wrap.

In the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday,” it appears that plotlines from the “Fantastic Four” may coincide, or at least follow closely, given the film’s potential exploration of multiple universes and timelines.

Let me share the highlights of significant appearances featuring ‘Deadpool’ and ‘Wolverine’, ranging from Chris Evans’ portrayal of Johnny Storm to Wesley Snipes’ character, Blade.

As a die-hard Marvel fan, I’ve always admired Steve Rogers, aka Captain America. After bravely surviving Thanos’ catastrophic snap in “Infinity War” and its aftermath in “Endgame,” he made a poignant decision five years ago – to let his super-soldier body age naturally. In a heartfelt gesture, he bestowed his legendary shield upon Anthony Mackie’s Falcon before the next era of Marvel stories unfolded, most notably on Disney+’s “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

After wrapping up his extensive tenure as Captain America, Evans didn’t stay away from the silver screen for too long. The actor who played Ransom Drysdale in “Knives Out” and Buzz Lightyear in “Lightyear” has recently appeared in the Christmas-themed comedy-adventure “Red One,” and made a notable guest appearance in this summer’s “Deadpool & Wolverine.” In this film, he revisited his role from the early 2000s as Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, from the defunct “Fantastic Four” series, although his appearance was brief.

Once more, Marvel is revamping the properties previously owned by 20th Century Fox, which it acquired in 2019. The cast features Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Natasha Lyonne, and Julia Garner. Some of these actors are also anticipated to feature in “Avengers: Doomsday.

In a series of social media updates on Wednesday, Marvel confirmed that Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach will be the main cast members for the upcoming ‘Fantastic Four’ reboot.

As a devoted film enthusiast, I was thrilled to hear that in July, Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, graced us with his presence once again at San Diego Comic-Con. He shared exciting updates about their upcoming projects and the next chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

As a devoted cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that, as per Variety, this dynamic duo is set to direct the sequel to “Doomsday,” titled “Avengers: Secret Wars,” scheduled for 2027. They’ve hinted that this two-part epic will serve as a grand finale to the Multiverse Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, promising an unforgettable cinematic journey!
