Chris Evans is set to make a highly anticipated return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in Avengers: Doomsday, reuniting with directors Joe and Anthony Russo and fellow MCU veteran Robert Downey Jr. While Evans’ specific role remains under wraps, the possibilities are tantalizing, thanks to the MCU’s multiverse storytelling.
His role, however, remains a closely guarded secret, sparking a wave of fan theories and speculation about how the actor will re-enter the MCU after his emotional sendoff as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Endgame.
The multiverse storyline offers several possibilities for Evans’ return:
- Steve Rogers Variant: He might portray a multiverse version of Captain America, potentially revisiting iconic moments or altering his story arc.
- Captain Hydra: Speculation suggests Evans could appear as a darker version of Rogers, echoing his alternate comic-book persona as Captain Hydra.
- Johnny Storm: After his cameo as Johnny Storm in Deadpool & Wolverine, fans wonder if he’ll reprise his role as the Human Torch from the early Fantastic Four films.
Given Marvel’s track record with surprises, Evans might play a completely new character, much like Robert Downey Jr.’s upcoming portrayal of Doctor Doom, adding a fresh twist to his MCU appearance.
The film, helmed by Anthony and Joe Russo, marks a significant chapter in the MCU’s Multiverse Saga. It will feature Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, playing a central antagonist going into the finale Secret Wars. While Evans himself has been cautious about revisiting Steve Rogers, the multiverse provides endless opportunities.
