It's Official: Captain America Star Chris Evans Returns for Avengers: Doomsday
Marvel reverses Steve Rogers' final farewell from Endgame by bringing Chris Evans back, sparking fan backlash over sidelining Sam Wilson and marketing to Endgame's $2.8 billion audience.
- Marvel confirmed in-theater teases that Chris Evans will reprise Steve Rogers, with the Avengers: Doomsday teaser debuting before Avatar: Fire and Ash next year on Dec 18, 2026.
- Marvel Studios targets Endgame-era audiences, with Kevin Feige claiming it was `the first without Chris Evans`, despite box-office success of previous MCU films earning over $1.38 billion.
- Fans and critics reacted negatively, calling Marvel's move `pathetic and desperate`, as IGN dubbed the trailer rollout `surprisingly disappointing`, with many perceiving it as a snub to Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson.
- A staggered trailer schedule points to actor-focused teases before a general trailer reveals the wider roster; leaked plans indicate three more trailers with Chris Hemsworth next and a full Robert Downey Jr. as Doom reveal, while no fresh Captain America sequel has been announced.
- By pulling in past X‑Men performers, Avengers: Doomsday unites MCU heroes with Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, James Marsden and Alan Cumming, setting up Avengers: Secret Wars on Dec 17, 2027.
