Preview:
- Chris Evans has been confirmed as returning to the MCU.
- He shows up in the first teaser for ‘Avengers: Doomsday.’
- The footage was shown before ‘Avatar: Fire & Ash.’
While the man himself has been cagey in the past as to whether his time with the Marvel Cinematic Universe is done, there were reports back in December of last year that pointed to more MCU time for Chris Evans as Steve “Captain America” Rogers.
And now, in the first teaser for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ that showed attached to ‘Avatar: Fire & Ash,’ Rogers is seen (see more on the brief footage below), pointing to him playing a role in the next movie (and possibly ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’).
Release Date: Dec 18, 2026
How much of a role remains to be seen, but the Disney promotional machine rolling him out like this does hint at Cap playing an important part.
