Chris Evans CAUGHT In Epic Lie About Marvel Retirement?

by

It’s uncertain whether Chris Evans is following Andrew Garfield’s footsteps until the release of “Avengers: Doomsday” in summer 2026. Garfield admitted to lying about his role in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in 2021, leading some to question if Evans is telling the truth about his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Contrary to rumors, Robert Downey Jr., unlike Evans, will be rejoining the franchise. A social media user humorously responded to Evans’ statement that he was “happily retired” by saying:

It’s hard to believe you’ve already hung up your superhero suit! Just six months have passed since you were part of the Marvel Universe with Deadpool and Wolverine as Johnny Storm!

It is believed that Chris Evans’ character, Steve Rogers/Captain America, stayed behind at the end of Avengers: Endgame. After returning the Infinity Stones to their original places in time, he chose to make the most of the opportunity by settling down with the woman he loved, Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). This ending was a fitting conclusion for Steve’s storyline in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, following the death of Tony Stark/Iron Man (RDJ), but later reports revealed that Evans would be returning to Marvel.

In December 2024, more than five years since he last portrayed Captain America in Avengers: Endgame, a well-known industry outlet stated that Chris Evans would be teaming up with RDJ’s Doctor Doom in the upcoming film, Avengers: Doomsday – signaling his comeback to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As reported by Deadline, sources claimed that Evans was unlikely to reprise his role as Captain America, because Anthony Mackie would continue to embody the character. Marvel Studios remained silent on the matter, but given the expansive future of the MCU, it’s possible that Chris Evans is only a piece of what’s yet to unfold in the universe.

Buckle Up for What Is Likely a Full-Fledged ‘Avengers’ Reunion in 2026

It’s highly probable that Chris Evans might be misleading us about his absence in “Avengers: Doomsday“, but this doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a negative development. There’s already enough anticipation surrounding the film without knowing if Evans will reprise his role as Steve Rogers or take on another character. Interestingly, Anthony Mackie hinted at a return of the original cast in a recent interview with Esquire (Jan. 30), suggesting that “everyone is coming back for the movie”. When asked about Evans’ alleged return, as reported by Deadline, Mackie remained cryptic and simply said:

I hadn’t realized that! [Laughs] I spoke to Chris a few weeks ago, and it wasn’t discussed at that time. He didn’t mention it as a possibility when I asked him about it. I remember asking, ‘By the way, they mentioned everyone returning for the movie, are you planning to join?’

It appears that the consensus is Scarlett Johansson and Paul Bettany will reappear in the 2026 film titled “Doomsday.” Although Johansson’s character, Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff, sacrificed herself to secure the Soul Stone in “Avengers: Endgame,” it’s not surprising that Bettany is returning as Vision, considering he’s set to reprise his role for the upcoming Disney+ series “Vision Quest.

As a film enthusiast, I can hardly contain my excitement for the enigmatic project known as “Avengers: Doomsday,” which remains shrouded in mystery at this juncture. However, if we were to adopt the mindset of the visionary filmmakers, The Russo Brothers, it’s essential to approach this undertaking with awe-inspiring caution. Their monumental successes, such as Infinity War and Endgame, are titanic feats that will be challenging to surpass. Yet, the prospect of orchestrating an epic Avengers reunion in 2026 is nothing short of inspired.

Robert Downey Jr., embodying the enigmatic Doctor Doom, has already secured his place on the roster, while considering the intricate plotline of Doomsday, it seems almost inevitable that Chris Evans might return to reclaim Captain America’s shield once more! The conclusion of Endgame sets the stage perfectly for this potential comeback.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but ponder over the captivating possibility of Chris Evans reprising his role as the youthful Captain America. This time around, he’d be the one who ventured into the past and found himself living life alongside Peggy Carter (Atwell). In the closing moments of Endgame, Prof/Smart Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) cautioned Cap with a warning, “‘Be mindful, you must return the [Infinity] Stones to the same moment you retrieved them, or else you’ll unleash a torrent of unsavory alternate realities.’” If Evans’ Captain America chose to live for himself in the past, could this decision lead to consequences that can’t be undone?

Could Captain America successfully return all Infinity Stones to their proper locations at the correct times, even with Thor’s (Chris Hemsworth) hammer, Mjölnir, in his possession? This compelling narrative and character development likely enticed Evans to rejoin the franchise. If that is the case, it might be Steve Rogers who inadvertently establishes the alternate reality where RDJ’s Doctor Doom endangers the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s heroes when Avengers: Doomsday premieres on May 1, 2026.
