Chris Evans Says Not Being Cast in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Feels Like "You Weren't Invited to the Party"

Marvel actor Chris Evans was last seen in the role of Captain America in Avengers: Endgame, when Steve Rogers decided to go back in time to live a lifetime with his true love, Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell).

While he has appeared in the MCU since then, it was only to reprise his role of a multiversal Johnny Storm in Deadpool & Wolverine, but that brought up the idea that if we are dealing with a multiverse, couldn’t we see Evans return to play another version of Steve Rogers?

So far, it doesn’t look like that will happen, as his name has not been announced in the cast list of Avengers: Doomsday, and the actor has shut down his rumored return plenty of times.

When asked in a recent interview with ScreenRant about Doomsday, and if he’s been in touch with the Russos and his returning Avengers co-star Robert Downey Jr., Evans said:

“Yeah, I talk to them all the time. 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.”

Either Evans is truly sad about missing out, or he will have a cameo, and he’s just a great actor who will sell us to the very end on the idea that he won’t be in the movie. Either way, we will just have to wait and see. And if he doesn’t make it back for Doomsday, maybe we can hold out hope for Avengers: Secret Wars?

Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on December 18, 2026.
