Avengers: Doomsday Rumor Means Answering the MCU’s Biggest Endgame Question

by

A significant speculation surrounding “Avengers: Doomsday” implies that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) might revisit the events of “Avengers: Endgame,” and this could potentially be a risky move. As with any big Marvel film, there’s no shortage of rumors and theories about “Doomsday.” These span from vague guesses about characters supposedly involved (apparently everyone who’s ever appeared in a Marvel movie), to more intricate ideas, such as Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom being a variant of Tony Stark. With over a year until the fifth Avengers film is released, these discussions are likely to intensify as more plot details emerge.

As a die-hard movie fan, let me share my thoughts on the ongoing buzz surrounding everyone’s favorite super soldier, Captain America, played brilliantly by Chris Evans. The Steve Rogers version, not Sam Wilson, is at the heart of many recent discussions, fueled even more when it was announced that Robert Downey Jr. would reprise his role as Iron Man. Recent speculation has been swirling about Evans’ physique reminiscent of his Avengers days, and a rumor has even suggested that Doom may be planning to take revenge on Steve Rogers due to the events in Endgame – specifically, the time travel incident that allegedly caused an incursion leading to the loss of Doom’s family. While it’s intriguing to imagine Cap returning, given the potential repercussions on Endgame, one should approach this news with a pinch of salt.

Steve Rogers’ Return Would Have To Explain Old Captain America In Endgame’s Ending

In a satisfying conclusion, Steve obtained the happy ending he longed for alongside Peggy Carter in Endgame. However, there were certain aspects left unexplored. At that moment, the heartfelt impact and significance of his story’s end were more important. But should Steve reappear, these unresolved issues would need to be addressed. The most pressing question revolves around how the aged Captain America managed to return the shield to Sam. He didn’t go back to the platform, so the details of his mysterious return remain uncertain and will require further exploration.

Another question arises with this, a question that even the writers and directors of “Endgame” couldn’t agree on: did Captain America’s decision to stay in the past create a separate timeline, requiring him to return to the main Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) timeline, or was he there all along? The Russos believe it was the former, while Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely believe the latter. Since Captain America, specifically, is back now and Doom is targeting him and Peggy, the show will likely need to address these questions. It will require a straightforward explanation of what happened and will probably clarify whether Captain America crossed timelines (and if so, ideally explaining how he did it, although it could simply wave that away as unimportant).

In simpler terms, creating a balance is a task that demands a level of persistence similar to Thanos’ obsession. The upcoming movie, given its complexity, should avoid becoming too bogged down by excessive explanations. Yet, considering it may revisit the most significant MCU film and potentially reverse its joyful conclusion, it should provide more detailed clarification for the viewers. The rules and boundaries of the MCU’s timelines, incursions, and multiverse aspects are flexible and can vary with each release, but whatever is presented in Endgame should be consistent with that.

Is Chris Evans’ Captain America Returning In Avengers: Doomsday A Good Idea?

It’s evident that Marvel is keen on having Chris Evans rejoin the cast, a move that, regardless of the circumstances, appears inevitable. This could potentially mark the return of the MCU’s top two stars, a development not witnessed since the frenzy surrounding Endgame. The comeback of familiar faces and cameos has been instrumental in box office successes like Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Deadpool, and Wolverine – all post-Endgame blockbusters that leveraged this factor. If Captain America (Evans) were to square off against Downey Jr’s Doom, it would undeniably escalate the excitement to new heights.

To put it in my own words, I ponder if the new story is promising, given how brilliantly Evans portrays his role. However, considering the possibilities, it seems more likely that things might not turn out as planned. The idea of bringing him back could feel contrived, potentially undermining the powerful emotional resolution of his MCU journey in Endgame, which was a fitting and unmatched conclusion to his story. Frankly, I wonder if there’s any way this new tale can offer a conclusion superior to the one we experienced six years ago. Granted, Steve Rogers has the ability to do more, but perhaps it’s wiser to let him take a well-deserved break.

The film “Avengers: Doomsday” will premiere on December 18th, 2026. After that, “Avengers: Secret Wars” is scheduled for release on December 17th, 2027. Prior to these two movies, the next Marvel Cinematic Universe film is titled “Spider-Man: Brand New Day“, and it’s set to hit theaters on July 31st, 2026.
