When Avengers: Endgame premiered in 2019, it felt, appropriately, like the top of an period. Tony Stark sacrificed himself for the larger good, half of the Earth’s inhabitants was restored after years lacking, and the following era of heroes was poised to take over. In some of the heartbreaking scenes, Steve Rogers chooses to remain previously the place he got here from, growing old with the love of his life.
It appeared like that was the top for Steve Rogers. Sam Wilson inherited the protect, Steve obtained his fortunately ever after, and all free ends had been tied up. That is, till the announcement that Chris Evans (and, subsequently, Steve Rogers) would return within the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. But a current assertion by Evans takes this announcement one step additional — and divulges Cap’s Doomsday destiny.)
In an Instagram reel, consumer Jessica Zborowski (@comicconmomsi) reveals that her husband managed to get her a video of Chris Evans for his or her twentieth marriage ceremony anniversary. She doesn’t present the video, however she does play a vital a part of the audio. “I start work on the next one in a couple of months, so I’m in the next one. There’s that,” he may be heard saying.
What’s “the next one?” Well, it may solely imply that we’ll have extra Steve Rogers in Avengers: Secret Wars, and in addition that he received’t have a Tony Stark second on the finish of Doomsday. It could also be known as Doomsday, however he’s a minimum of secure till December 17, 2027. Assuming, in fact, Evans is taking part in Steve in Secret Wars. In concept, he might be taking part in Johnny Storm, a job he reprised in Deadpool & Wolverine in 2024.
It’s attainable that Evans would simply seem as Rogers in flashbacks, but when that had been true, then his involvement would in all probability be a smaller time dedication, not one thing he’s considering “starting” work on in a couple of months — he in all probability wouldn’t say that if he began and completed comparatively shortly.
Steve Rogers might have already grown previous as soon as, however he’s coming again to the MCU not as soon as however twice.

What does this imply for the way forward for the MCU as an entire? Considering the similarities between Doomsday and Secret Wars and the earlier Avengers two-parter, it’s seemingly that these films shall be two components of the identical story with a devastating cliffhanger, as an alternative of two separate adventures. If that’s true, then it appears like Steve should step up as chief, particularly within the wake of the lack of Tony Stark.
It was at all times unlikely that Steve Rogers, a fan-favorite character, can be sacrificed on this film, nevertheless it was additionally unlikely that Spider-Man would flip to mud, and look what occurred there. Just as Robert Downey, Jr. will return (as Dr. Doom) for each films and the Russo brothers will return as administrators for each films, Chris Evans is right here for the lengthy haul.
