After the initial trailer for Avengers: Doomsday revealed Chris Evans will reprise his role as Steve Rogers, directors Joe and Anthony Russo posted on Instagram, describing the moment as a satisfying conclusion to a long story arc within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The Russos shared a teaser with the message: “The character who impacted all of our lives. The story that united us. It was inevitable that we’d return to this.”
The comment quickly gained traction, not only due to Evans’ potential comeback, but also because of the strong connection between Steve Rogers’ character and the Russo brothers’ success at Marvel Studios.

Chris Evans And The Foundation Of The MCU
Chris Evans first appeared as Steve Rogers in the 2011 film Captain America: The First Avenger, establishing the character as a central figure of strong ethics within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
I always felt like even when the first Marvel movies were all about big action scenes, Captain America, Steve Rogers, was really the emotional center of everything. He grounded the whole universe, you know?
The character became even more important when the Russo brothers directed Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
As a huge Marvel fan, I think this film completely changed the game for the MCU. It wasn’t just about superheroes punching villains anymore – it brought real political weight to the universe and honestly showed everyone what a Marvel movie could be, pushing the boundaries in a really exciting way.
The Avengers fractured after a major disagreement, leading to a conflict known as Civil War, and Captain America found himself at the heart of this significant division within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Following that, Evans played a central role in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, ultimately leading to Steve Rogers’ choice to return the Infinity Stones and spend the rest of his life in the past with Peggy Carter.
With Endgame, Steve Rogers’ time as Captain America came to a close, as he passed the shield to Sam Wilson, effectively marking the end of Chris Evans’ portrayal of the character.
Steve Rogers’ Return In Avengers: Doomsday
The Avengers: Doomsday teaser confirms that Steve Rogers’ story is not over.
The scene likely happens during the time after the final battle with Thanos, when Steve Rogers is putting the Infinity Stones back where they belong.
Okay, so the new teaser totally blew my mind! It shows Steve Rogers holding a baby, and it strongly suggests he and Peggy Carter actually got married and had a family while he was living in the past. It’s a huge reveal and I’m already wondering how it all fits into the story!
A recent scene changes how we understand Steve Rogers’ fate in Endgame, hinting that his decision to remain in the past could become significant in the ongoing Avengers: Doomsday storyline within the multiverse.
The teaser ends with the crawl: “Steve Rogers will return.”
Why Steve Rogers Matters To Doomsday
According to the Russo brothers, Avengers: Doomsday aims to revisit the core elements of the Marvel Cinematic Universe instead of just focusing on bigger and more elaborate action.
Steve Rogers, as Captain America, was the heart of the Avengers. He held the team together and brought genuine emotion to the most important scenes in the movies.
As a huge Marvel fan, seeing him return – and with the Russos directing again – really makes me think the next Avengers film, whatever it’s called, will focus a lot on what happened after Endgame. It feels like they’re going to explore the lasting impact of past decisions and the consequences our heroes are still dealing with, really building on the established story.
Marvel is releasing short previews focusing on individual characters and highlighting Steve Rogers, suggesting that Avengers: Doomsday won’t just be another team-up movie. Instead, it’s being presented as a major event that will address the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters on December 18, 2026.
