In recent days you have probably seen people on social media celebrating the fifth anniversary of Avengers: Endgame on social media. Yes, it’s been half a decade since that movie came out and we still don’t know what happened to it Captain America.
The. was dedicated to the hero Statue of Libertybut not even The Falcon and The Winter Soldier provided definitive answers about the elder’s fate Steve Rogersbeyond the fact that it is “left“.
Today, scooper @MyTimeToShineH claims that Chris Evans he finally agreed to reprise the role in Avengers: Secret Wars. We don’t know if it will also appear in Avengers 5still untitled, but it looks like a deal has been reached.
Before then, word is we’ll see the actor again in MCU already this summer, when it appears in Deadpool & Wolverine... in the role of Human Torch. We thought that i Marvel Studios they could save it for a film about Avengersalthough that would likely have lessened the impact of his return as Captain America (and an R-Rated genre film should allow him to have some fun when he reprises his first superhero role).
If the news is true, this is big news and we can only assume that MCU veterans Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson they will join him.
What he said some time ago Chris Evans ?
Last November, Chris Evans he was asked about the rumors that he was about to star Captain America and replied: “You know, I see this news all the time too, and it’s new to me“. “I think every couple of months someone says Downey’s coming, and [Chris] Hemsworth, and Scarlett [Johansson]and everyone is coming back!”.
And he added: “Nobody told me about it. And look, I wouldn’t say never, but I’m very protective. It’s a very precious role for me, so it should be right“.
Chris Evans he has often refused to close the door on the possibility of playing Cap again and has shared similar sentiments to those months ago. “I will never say never, just because it was such a wonderful experience“, he said. “But I am also very precious. It’s something I’m very proud of. And like I said, sometimes I can’t believe it happened“.
“And I wouldn’t want the black eye to feel like a rip-off or if it didn’t live up to expectations or if it felt like it wasn’t connected to that original thing. So, there won’t be much time“.
We’ll see what happens, but in many ways this news isn’t a surprise. Enlistment by the Marvel Studios of the original six Avengers to close the Multiverse saga It was long overdue and is probably a necessity after a couple of years of stories gone wrong.
Deadpool & Wolverine will arrive in theaters on July 26, while the next Avengers films have been set for May 1, 2026 and May 7, 2027.
