Chris Evans' Captain America Rumored To Be at the Center of AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY in a Big Way
A new rumor is making the rounds that is sure to get Marvel fans hyped and talking. According to insider reports, Chris Evans might be reprising his role as Captain America in Avengers: Doomsday, and not just for a quick cameo.
If true, this could be a major return for Steve Rogers and put him directly in the crosshairs of Doctor Doom.
The speculation started up again thanks to My Time To Shine Hello, whose become a realible scopper. It’s reported that Doom will be after Cap because of his time-traveling decisions in Avengers: Endgame.
MTTSH wrote, “When Steve went back in time to go live with Peggy he created the Incursions so now Doom wants him dead.”
That idea would definitely raise the stakes in Avengers: Doomsday and give Captain America a massive role in the multiversal mess that the MCU is heading toward. It also gives weight to the rumors of a reunion between Evans and Robert Downey Jr., who is no playing Doctor Doom.
Adding more fuel to the fire, Alex Perez from the Cosmic Circus teased in a fan Q&A: "End of the world, forced out of retirement, a hero’s job is never done.” That line definitely hints that Steve Rogers might be pulled back into the action whether he wants to or not.
Another interesting detail MTTSH shared is that Evans is supposedly working on the film under the codename "Luke Cage.” As always, none of this has been officially confirmed by Marvel Studios, so fans should take it with a grain of salt.
Evans himself has previously poured some cold water on the idea of returning. While promoting Materialists earlier this year, he said: “I mean, it’s sad to be away. It’s sad to not be back with the band, but I’m sure they’re doing something incredible, and I’m sure it’s going to be that much harder when it comes out and you feel like you weren’t invited to the party.”
Even if Evans is trying to play coy, the timing and rumors have some fans believing there might be more to this story. Whether it’s true or not, the idea of Captain America being hunted by Doom in Avengers: Doomsday is just too cool not to imagine.
