Chris Evans Returns in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ – What If He’s the MCU’s Deadliest Villain, And Not a Hero?

by

As a long-time Marvel fan who’s witnessed the evolution of the MCU since its humble beginnings, I must admit that the prospect of Chris Evans returning to the franchise in a surprising role has me genuinely intrigued! The idea that Steve Rogers might not be coming back as Captain America but instead as the Beyonder is both exciting and thought-provoking.

Right now, the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film known as “Avengers: Doomsday” is generating tremendous excitement. Following the Infinity Saga, this movie will gather a fresh group of Avengers to confront one of the franchise’s most renowned villains – Robert Downey Jr., portraying Doctor Doom.

In addition to RDJ, another well-known figure, Chris Evans, is also expected to come back in the film “Doomsday”. As reported by Variety, details about his character are being kept secret for now. It’s plausible that he might return as Captain America, but there could be a surprising turn of events in the plot.

Let me clarify for you: Steve Rogers isn’t deceased in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; instead, he’s opted to retire and spend time with Peggy Carter in a different reality. The role of Captain America has been handed over to Sam Wilson, who will make his solo film debut in Captain America: Brave New World, set for release on February 14, 2025.

It appears doubtful that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) would delve back into Steve Rogers’ Captain America storyline while Sam Wilson is still solidifying his character. Chris Evans might not come back to portray Captain America or any other version, but could potentially take on the role of the Beyonder, who will assume the appearance of Captain America in future appearances.

Recently, we shared a speculation about potential casting choices, hinting that the studio could be considering the role of The Beyonder, given the link to the original “Secret Wars” and “Time Runs Out” storylines, which could form the basis for “Avengers: Doomsday.

It’s no secret that whispers have long circulated about the Beyonder making an appearance in “Avengers: Secret Wars”. Even before the series was officially announced, industry insiders had been suggesting that the Beyonder might be unveiled as the principal antagonist.

There’s a chance Chris Evans might portray the character Beyonder, who in the comics transformed into Captain America-like appearance. In the comic series “_Secret Wars II_”, upon his arrival on Earth, Beyonder assumed forms based on individuals from the initial “Secret War”. He assumed the bodies of characters like the Molecule Man and Captain America to grasp human existence. He sought wealth, pleasure, and power, but found them all devoid of meaning in the end.

In the end, the Beyonder gained dominion over both the thoughts and substance of Earth, yet he soon lost interest in governance and freed all, leaving behind only hazy memories of his reign, save for a handful of lingering reminiscences.

There’s a chance that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) might take this narrative route, where Chris Evans plays the character of the Beyonder in “Doomsday,” but it’s not until “Secret Wars” that the genuine Beyonder unveils his true identity.

This theory is definitely intriguing and could add an emotional layer to the story, especially if the former Avengers recognize his face. This could lead them to make rash decisions, unaware that the Beyonder is already among them, as he’s not yet been introduced into the MCU.
