Avengers: Doomsday Leak Hints At Chris Evans’ Captain America Return

by

It’s been speculated that Chris Evans might reprise his role as Captain America in “Avengers: Doomsday”. A fresh rumor seems to further bolster this possibility.

Remember that, according to Kevin Feige’s recent statement, the reason fans might not have watched ‘Brave New World’ was likely due to the absence of Chris Evans in his role as Captain America.

Warning: Possible major spoilers follow.

What does the Chris Evans rumor say?

It’s been circulating online that Marvel Studios has adopted a secret name for Chris Evans on the set of “Avengers: Doomsday” to keep his involvement in the film under wraps.

The codename Marvel is claimed to be using for Chris Evans is Luke Cage.

For those who’ve been following the latest updates, the mention of Luke Cage in connection with Avengers: Doomsday might be familiar. Rumors suggest that Marvel has constructed a “retro 1960s American home” for Cage on the film set.

Given that Luke Cage, if we’re referring to Michael Colter from the Marvel Netflix series, wasn’t actually born until the late 1960s, how would that fit into a story set during the 1960s?

If the rumor holds up, then it appears that the building isn’t actually Luke Cage’s residence; instead, it serves as Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers’ house.

It’s purely hypothetical, but consider this scenario: A character could potentially travel back in time, meeting Peggy Carter in the 1960s as depicted in Avengers: Endgame. This person might then decide to gather The Avengers of that era to confront a villain such as Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom.

Who will Chris Evans return as?

If the information is accurate, it suggests that Chris Evans will reprise his role as Steve Rogers in the movie “Avengers: Doomsday.” However, whether he’ll come back as Captain America is yet to be determined.

Confirmations suggest Anthony Mackie will reprise his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There’s speculation that Chris Evans might return as well, this time possibly portraying ‘Nomad’, a persona Steve Rogers assumes in the comics after giving up the Captain America suit and title. If Mackie is Cap, then perhaps Evans could be Nomad. Another intriguing theory is that Evans might take on the role of ‘Captain Hydra’, which would certainly add an interesting twist if he were to team up with Downey’s Doom.
