In recent years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been consistently releasing a slew of new film announcements. Regarding the question of whether old characters will return, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige previously stated that the possibility of characters like “Iron Man” (Robert Downey Jr.) and “Captain America” (Chris Evans) making a comeback was never completely ruled out.
Recently, this long-standing rumor has finally become a reality. Following Robert Downey Jr.’s confirmed return to Marvel as the villain “Doctor Doom,” the latest reports reveal that Chris Evans will also be making his comeback to the MCU. He is set to appear in the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday, which is scheduled for release in 2026!

“Captain America” Chris Evans Confirmed to Return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
Since the 2019 film Avengers: Endgame, “Iron Man” Robert Downey Jr., “Captain America” Chris Evans, and the Russo brothers announced their departure from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), passing the baton to a new generation of stars and filmmakers. Chris Evans, who joined Marvel in 2011, played a pivotal role in the franchise, starring in three Captain America films and four Avengers movies. This summer, he even made a surprise appearance as his character Johnny Storm from Fox’s Fantastic Four movies in Deadpool and Wolverine. As one of the most iconic figures in the MCU, his presence has been deeply influential.
Now, with the rise of new-generation characters, Marvel appears to be attempting to recapture the magic of its golden era and win back some of its gradually disengaging longtime fans。

Although it is still unclear whether Chris Evans will return to reprise his role as the retired “Steve Rogers / Captain America,” the news of his potential return has undoubtedly sparked a lot of attention among fans. It’s worth noting that Marvel’s multiverse setup makes the possibility of different actors portraying the same character more open than ever. If Chris Evans does return as Captain America, it could have an impact on Anthony Mackie’s portrayal of Falcon (Sam Wilson), who took over the Captain America mantle in the The Falcon and the Winter Soldier series and will star in the upcoming Captain America 4: Brave New World. Additionally, Chris Evans may play an entirely new character, similar to Robert Downey Jr., who will portray the iconic Marvel villain “Doctor Doom.” While it’s still unclear whether this version of Doctor Doom will be connected to Iron Man, it undoubtedly adds to the growing excitement among fans.
