More information has come to light on rumors regarding a potential MCU return for Chris Evans in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
What is the latest Avengers: Doomsday rumor?
Earlier this week, noted insider MyTimeToShineHello said that Evans was reportedly “100% back” in Avengers: Doomsday. Fans quickly began theorizing just how that would happen, and whether or not Evans would return as Captain America. MyTimeToShine took to social media again this week, confirming that Evans would be back as none other than Steve Rogers.
Should this rumor be proven, this would make him the third actor to appear in all of the MCU’s Avengers movies, alongside Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth. However, it’s still currently unclear which character would Evans be playing in the fifth installment of the blockbuster franchise.
The cast for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, even without Howard, is going to be massive. So far, several major stars from the MCU have been confirmed to be in the movie, including Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby’s Invisible Woman/Sue Storm, Anthony Mackie’s Captain America, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Letitia Wright’s Shuri/Black Panther, and Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man.
More names for the upcoming movie include Wyatt Russell’s U.S. Agent/John Walker, Tenoch Huerta’s Namor, Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s The Thing/Ben Grimm, Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, Kelsey Grammer’s Dr. Hank McCoy/Beast, Lewis Pullman’s Bob/Sentry, Danny Ramirez’s Joaquin Torres/Falcon, Joseph Quinn’s Johnny Storm/Human Torch, David Harbour’s Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Winston Duke‘s M’Baku, Hannah John-Kamen‘s Ava Starr/Ghost, and Tom Hiddleston‘s Loki.
Several X-Men characters are also coming back for the upcoming movie, including Patrick Stewart‘s Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen‘s Magneto, Alan Cumming‘s Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn‘s Mystique, James Marsden‘s Cyclops, and Channing Tatum‘s Gambit.
Avengers: Doomsday is slated to release in theaters on December 18, 2026.
