How ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Sets Up the Stage for Chris Evans’ Cap Return – as a Villain!

As a gamer with decades of Marvel comics and movies under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension about the upcoming “Captain America: Brave New World.” While it’s heartening to see Anthony Mackie stepping into the Captain America role, the thought of Chris Evans reprising his iconic character in a villainous role is intriguing.


In the upcoming release on February 14, 2025, “Captain America: Brave New World” is set to be a significant film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase Five. Unlike its predecessors, there will be an unexpected turn of events revealed in this movie. Notably, Anthony Mackie will assume the role of Captain America, stepping into the shoes previously worn by Chris Evans as Steve Rogers in prior films.

Fans are undeniably thrilled about Sam Wilson ascending in the Marvel leadership, but there remains a significant group who continue to pine for Chris Evans, and when it comes to their beloved superhero, they find it hard to visualize another actor filling his shoes.

Given these developments, particularly since Robert Downey Jr. is rejoining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a villain (Doctor Doom), we’ve concocted a theory that could potentially see Chris Evans return to the MCU, but in an unexpected role rather than the one fans are longing for!

As a gamer, I’m super excited about diving into “Captain America: Brave New World”! This adventure will be packed with familiar faces and fresh blood. Some iconic characters from the Incredible Hulk saga are making a comeback, but that’s not all – we’re also going to meet the enigmatic Serpent Society!

Specifically, if you recall the well-known “Secret Empire” comic book series from 2017, you’re likely familiar with this iconic scene:

In this stunning turn of events, when Captain America declared “Hail Hydra,” revealing his true allegiance to the malevolent Hydra organization aiming to conquer the U.S., we witnessed a pivotal moment in Marvel’s contemporary timeline. However, it was later revealed that the Cosmic Cube-empowered Red Skull’s clone manipulated Steve Rogers’ memories, meaning it wasn’t authentic Steve Rogers but rather a brainwashed version of him.

Therefore, we arrive at our hypothesis. Specifically, the emergence of the Serpent Society opens up the potential for Steve Rogers’ reappearance, though possibly as a mind-controlled antagonist serving Voelker’s group. This would make for an impressive comeback and engaging plotline, given that Downey Jr. is set to rejoin Marvel in a similar fashion.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’d say, “Surely, given that Captain America has aged, there’d need to be some adjustments in the timeline. But if they choose to venture there, the Marvel Cinematic Universe certainly has the skill and creativity to make it happen.”
