Fans Are Revealing How They Reacted After Realizing Chris Evans Was Playing Johnny Storm And Not Captain America In Deadpool And Wolverine

As someone who has been following the Marvel Cinematic Universe since its inception and even watched the original Fantastic Four movies back in the day, I was absolutely floored when Chris Evans made his appearance as Johnny Storm in Deadpool & Wolverine. It’s not every day that a beloved actor like him reprises a role from a bygone era, especially when he’s known for playing such an iconic character as Captain America.

As a hardcore gamer, I’ve always been blown away by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, consistently delivering top-notch content across theaters and Disney+. The latest blockbuster to make waves is none other than Deadpool & Wolverine, shattering records and reminding us that the shared universe can still deliver massive success. This movie was packed with unexpected cameos, and I can’t help but share my excitement when I realized that Chris Evans wasn’t playing Captain America, but rather Johnny Storm instead!

Fans who spent years watching the Marvel movies in order remember the two Fantastic Four movies that were in theaters before the MCU was formed. And while Deadpool 3 had tons of cameos, one of the most notable was Chris Evans returning to the role of Human Torch. That was a mind-blowing twist for fans, and many are sounding off on Instagram about how they reacted to the actor saying “Flame on!” again all these years later. As one fan revealed:

It wasn’t until Chris Evans said “Flame On” that it clicked for me – he played Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four before becoming Captain America! 😂😂

To clarify, the first two films featuring the superhero team known as the “Fantastic Four” were launched in the years 2005 and 2007. Given that many Marvel enthusiasts might have been too young to witness these movies initially, it undeniably added an extra element of surprise to Evans’ cameo appearance later on.

Although the Fantastic Four have been absent from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney’s takeover of Fox allowed them to become part of the action. Fans are eagerly anticipating “Fantastic Four: First Steps,” but in the interim, we’ve had Chris Evans and John Krasinski making appearances in “Deadpool 3” and “Doctor Strange 2.” Interestingly, another fan mentioned that some viewers were puzzled to see Evans portray a character other than Steve Rogers. In their words:

One guy really asked “Why was captain America flying in fire” on my theater 💀💀💀💀

As a die-hard Marvel gamer who’s been around since Chris Evans’ electrifying performances in the two Fantastic Four films, I was beyond excited to see him return as my favorite hero – even after his tragic end at the hands of Cassandra Nova. In the theater, another fan couldn’t contain their reaction, expressing sheer delight upon seeing this unexpected cameo.

Honestly one of my favorite parts about the movie this shit had me hype in the theater

In seven MCU films, Chris Evans portrayed Captain America, a role that’s strongly associated with him at age 43. However, he was equally captivating as Johnny Storm/Human Torch in other Marvel productions. Unfortunately, some viewers might have overlooked his earlier Marvel character, which made his appearance in the Deadpool & Wolverine movie all the more exciting. As one fan excitedly commented:

When I mention that I completely overlooked his involvement with the Fantastic Four in the movies, it genuinely sent a shiver down my spine!

It’s evident that the cameo was a hit, and Chris Evans also made an additional appearance in the end credits of Deadpool & Wolverine. Although there’s no hint that Captain America may return to the screen with Evans, the return of Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom has left fans speculating whether more original cast members could make a comeback.

I’m super-stoked! Mark your calendars, folks, because yours truly, Deadpool and Wolverine, are hitting Disney+ on November 12th. In the meantime, let’s keep our eyes peeled for those 2025 movie release dates!
