As a lifelong Marvel enthusiast who has seen every single film multiple times and can recite lines from them word-for-word, I must say that the casting report for ‘Avengers: Doomsday‘ is nothing short of exhilarating! The prospect of Chris Evans returning as Captain America after his emotional farewell in ‘Endgame’ is a tantalizing one.
It seems that the “Multiverse Saga” is indeed living up to its cosmic connotation. According to a recent exclusive from The Wrap, there are indications that a certain character could be reappearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Avengers: Doomsday.” Originally titled “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty,” this upcoming Avengers film has undergone several changes.
Initially, when Jonathan Majors left his role as Kang, Marvel Studios swiftly changed direction, deciding to center the story around Doctor Doom instead. This shift was confirmed with the announcement of the “Doomsday” subtitle at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Interestingly, it was also revealed that the Russo Brothers would be back to direct the film, and surprisingly, Robert Downey Jr. was cast as Victor von Doom. Now, it seems Chris Evans might rejoin the team, which could mean Captain America, aka Steve Rogers, could play a role in wrapping up the “Multiverse Saga.
It is yet unclear (if the information in this report is correct) which character Evans might portray, or even if he’ll appear at all. Lately, Evans reappeared in the MCU with Deadpool & Wolverine, but not as Steve Rogers; instead, he was Johnny Storm/Human Torch from his past comic book movie roles. Given that Downey Jr. is playing a villain, it remains uncertain whether Evans will portray Captain America or a different version of him.
‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Casting Report Could Reignite or Undermine the MCU
Doomsday suggests that Marvel Studios might be trying to capitalize on the emotional impact of earlier movies. Furthermore, with Sam Wilson’s Captain America (played by Anthony Mackie) being introduced in The Falcon & The Winter Solider and Captain America: Brave New World coming up, it seems there’s not much time for audiences to get used to the new version of the superhero before the old one reappears.
If it’s true that Evans will reprise his role as Captain America, introducing the character so soon following his retirement in 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame” might potentially weaken both Evans’ and Wilson’s storylines. However, since the team responsible for “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Endgame” will be involved with “Doomsday,” fans can only speculate based on future updates about Evans’ return.
Looking ahead, one exciting aspect of this news is the electrifying dynamic between Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans, whose acting together in Captain America: Civil War produced some of the most intense and enduring scenes within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although it’s unclear how big Evans’ role might be or whether he’ll appear again in Avengers: Secret Wars, there will certainly be ample opportunities for anticipation and theory-building, particularly with filming for Doomsday set to begin next Spring 2025.
