The First Avenger is back \u2014 and appears to be a dad<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Marvel Studios finally (officially) released its first teaser for \u201cAvengers: Doomsday<\/a>\u201d on Tuesday, confirming the much-anticipated return of Chris Evans as the super good super soldier Steve Rogers. <\/p>\n

The short clip shows Rogers riding up to a house on his motorcycle, looking at his old Captain America uniform, then smiling gently at an infant cradled in his arms. The teaser ends with the words \u201cSteve Rogers will return for \u2018Avengers: Doomsday\u2019\u201d appearing on the screen before showing a countdown to the movie\u2019s release. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe character that changed our lives,\u201d reads the caption shared with the teaser on \u201cDoomsday\u201d directors Anthony and Joe Russo\u2019s joint Instagram<\/a> page. \u201cThe story that brought us all here together. It was always going to come back to this…\u201d <\/p>\n

The Russo brothers, of course, made their Marvel Cinematic Universe debut at the helm of the the 2014 film \u201cCaptain America: The Winter Soldier.\u201d They followed that up with \u201cCaptain America: Civil War\u201d in 2016, before bringing the Infinity Saga home with \u201cAvengers: Infinity War<\/a>\u201d (2018) and \u201cAvengers: Endgame<\/a>\u201d (2019). <\/p>\n

Rogers was last seen in \u201cEndgame\u201d<\/a> passing the Captain America shield and mantle to Sam Wilson<\/a> (Anthony Mackie) after he had chosen to travel back in time to live out a long and happy life with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). Despite Evans bidding the character goodbye<\/a> after wrapping filming on \u201cEndgame,\u201d Joe Russo had claimed Evans was \u201cnot done<\/a>\u201d with Steve Rogers. <\/p>\n

It had been previously reported<\/a> that Evans would be returning to the MCU for \u201cDoomsday,\u201d but his role remained unclear. Evans appeared in last year\u2019s \u201cDeadpool & Wolverine,\u201d reprising his role as Johnny Storm<\/a> from the past \u201cFantastic Four\u201d films. <\/p>\n

\u201cAvengers: Doomsday\u201d will pick up sometime after the events of this year\u2019s \u201cFantastic Four: First Steps<\/a>\u201d and \u201cThunderbolts*<\/a>.\u201d The massive crossover will see \u201cIron Man<\/a>\u201d actor Robert Downey Jr. take on the new role of the mysterious Doctor Doom. Other confirmed \u201cDoomsday\u201d cast members include MCU veterans Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson\/Captain America), Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes), Paul Rudd (Scott Lang\/Ant-Man) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki); \u201cThunderbolts*<\/a>\u201d stars Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), David Harbour (Alexei Shostakov\/Red Guardian), Lewis Pullman (Bob Reynolds), Wyatt Russell (John Walker) and Hannah John-Kamen (Ava Starr\/Ghost); and \u201cFantastic Four\u2019s<\/a>\u201d Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm). <\/p>\n

\u201cDoomsday\u201d will also feature \u201cX-Men\u201d franchise actors Patrick Stewart (Professor Charles Xavier), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), James Marsden (Cyclops) and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique). <\/p>\n

\u201cAvengers: Doomsday\u201d will arrive in theaters Dec. 18, 2026. <\/p>\n
