The movie Avengers: Endgame highlighted the brave sacrifices of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), the peaceful departure of Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), wrapping up a 10-year storyline for the core heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But, Marvel Studios surprised everyone by revealing that Downey Jr. would be back for Avengers: Doomsday, not as Iron Man, but as Doctor Doom, a renowned villain. This unexpected change, along with speculation about Tony Stark’s connection to the new character, has sparked hopes and discussions about the potential return of other original Avengers, like Captain America (Chris Evans). If one of the original six can make a comeback in a different role, it implies that the possibility exists for others to do the same.
As a die-hard Marvel fan, I couldn’t help but feel my pulse race this past weekend when the buzz about Chris Evans possibly returning to the MCU hit an all-time high. Strutting his stuff at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of his latest film Sacrifice, Evans was clearly putting in some serious work at the gym, a fact that Marvel enthusiasts couldn’t help but notice. Now, it’s no secret that actors often go through intense fitness routines to nail their on-screen appearances, and it looks like Evans is no exception. The bulked-up physique he showed off has many speculating that we might see him back as Captain America – or at least a new take on the hero – in the currently filming Avengers: Doomsday.

Consequently, various online forums and social media platforms are filled with chatter, as fans scrutinize pictures taken at the event. Some spectators acknowledge that Evans has managed to stay in shape throughout his career, while others speculate that his recent “Avengers physique” is a strategic decision for a possible future comeback to the super-soldier role.
Isn’t it as if you’re all ignoring the fact that Chris Evans has always been fit and muscular? It seems we’re stretching things a bit too far (I’m in denial, and I don’t want to admit how impressive he looks in ‘Doomsday’)

Avengers: Doomsday‘s Many Rumors About Captain America
For several months now, there’s been a flurry of speculation about Steve Rogers’ role in the multiversal clash depicted in Avengers: Doomsday. One recurring theory posits that Doctor Doom might gather a group of Avengers variants from various universes to either rule or protect reality. This roster is said to comprise villainous counterparts, such as an ominous Captain America, perhaps inspired by the well-known “Hydra Cap” character from the comics. Such a narrative would provide an opportunity for Evans to rejoin the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a new and intriguing role – portraying a twisted version of the hero he so iconically played – without detracting from Anthony Mackie’s current Captain America status.
Gee I wonder what he could be back in peak physical shape for

The latest whispers link Doctor Doom’s mission to the resolution seen in “Avengers: Endgame,” suggesting that Steve Rogers’ choice to return to the past and live with Peggy Carter (played by Hayley Atwell) led to disastrous effects for the multiverse. This theory proposes that these events initiated the incursions, the catastrophic occurrences that Doctor Doom is said to be preventing. If true, Steve Rogers’ contented ending could be revealed as the spark that ignited the main conflict of the Multiversal Saga. Some rumors further hint at a deeply personal reason driving Doom, claiming that an incursion caused by Steve’s actions led to the demise of Doom’s own family, fueling his vengeful pursuit.
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to hit theaters on December 18, 2026.
