Captain America Actor Chris Evans Suggests He's Not in Avengers: Doomsday, but Not Everyone Believes Him

Captain America prima Chris Evans has suggested helium is not successful the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie, though determination is simply a steadfast dose of skepticism astir his comments.

Evans, who past appeared arsenic Captain America / Steve Rogers successful the Marvel Cinematic Universe astatine the extremity of 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, spoke to ScreenRant successful a caller interview. Evans was asked if he’d talked to Iron Man histrion Robert Downey Jr., who’s acceptable to instrumentality to the MCU arsenic Doctor Doom, oregon Avengers directors the Russo brothers, since they signed connected with Marvel for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Here’s his response:

“Yeah, I speech to them each the time. It's wherever Pedro [Pascal] is close now. I mean, it's bittersweet to beryllium away. It's bittersweet to not beryllium backmost with the band, but I'm definite they're doing thing incredible, and I'm definite it's going to beryllium that overmuch harder erstwhile it comes retired and you consciousness similar you weren't invited to the party.”

That surely suggests Evans volition not beryllium successful Avengers: Doomsday, but should we instrumentality his remark astatine look value? Already MCU fans are speechmaking overmuch into the phrasing astir his response, suggesting it leaves country for him to articulation the acceptable of Avengers: Doomsday aboriginal than the actors who are already there. Evans, aft all, is retired promoting his caller movie, Materialists, and truthful cannot beryllium progressive with the accumulation of Avengers: Doomsday close now. But later, perhaps?

If Evans does instrumentality for Avengers: Doomsday, possibly it won’t beryllium arsenic the Captain America we remember. After all, Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson presently carries the MCU's astir celebrated shield. Instead, possibly Evans volition play a antithetic character, arsenic RDJ is, similar immoderate benignant of evil Cap variant. Or possibly helium volition instrumentality arsenic an alternate Steve Rogers, oregon arsenic ‘Old Man Cap.’ Maybe he’ll get to play Johnny Storm / Human Torch again (was Deadpool & Wolverine a fever dream?).

Or, possibly we should instrumentality Evans’ comments present astatine look worth and judge him erstwhile helium says he’s not been invited to the party. Evans’ sanction was not among the database of actors Marvel announced to beryllium successful Avengers: Doomsday, aft all. And portion Marvel has indicated it has much actors to confirm, Evans wasn’t the lone large MCU sanction to neglect to get a chair.

Last week, The Fantastic Four: First Steps manager Matt Shakman commented connected whether RDJ's Doctor Doom would marque an quality successful The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and seemingly confirmed the quality volition beryllium absent. But, similar with Chris Evans' comment, Shakman's awkwardly-phrased effect near fans doubting the director's words.

And past month, Marvel prima Chris Hemsworth released a Thor tribute video that sparked speculation that the quality volition dice successful Avengers: Doomsday.

Marvel precocious delayed some Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars to December 2026 and December 2027 respectively. The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and the 2 Avengers movies are presently the lone upcoming MCU films with confirmed merchandise dates.
