Chris Evans has made it clear: he will not be reprising his role as Captain America in Avengers: Doomsday.
Despite rumors from sources like Deadline suggesting he might be back, Evans has firmly stated he is retired from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
His response to the speculation? A direct “Yeah, no—happily retired!” That should settle it, but many fans aren’t convinced. With Marvel’s history of last-minute surprises, some believe this could be a well-planned misdirection.
Why Fans Think Evans Might Still Return
Marvel is notorious for keeping major plot twists under wraps. Andrew Garfield repeatedly denied his involvement in Spider-Man: No Way Home, only to appear in one of the film’s biggest reveals. Could Evans be doing the same?
Social media is buzzing with theories. Some argue that his recent Esquire interview, where he reaffirmed his retirement, is a calculated move. Others speculate that Marvel might have convinced him to return for a small cameo rather than a full-fledged role.
Is This the Final Goodbye to Captain America?
Evans’ departure from the MCU was seemingly final when Steve Rogers passed his shield to Sam Wilson in Avengers: Endgame. However, with Marvel diving deeper into the multiverse, past characters can return in alternate forms.
Upcoming projects like Avengers: Secret Wars are expected to bring in characters from multiple timelines. This opens the door for Evans to make an appearance as an alternate version of Captain America.
Could Marvel Change His Mind?
For now, Evans seems content moving on. He has been taking on diverse roles in films like Ghosted and Pain Hustlers, proving he doesn’t need the MCU to stay relevant.
That said, Hollywood has a way of pulling actors back in. If Marvel presents the right script and an enticing offer, Evans might reconsider.
Whether he returns or not, Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be a massive event. And with Marvel’s reputation for keeping secrets, nothing can be ruled out completely.
