Chris Evans’ Avengers: Doomsday Role Officially Confirms This Dream MCU Project Is Not Happening

by

It appears Chris Evans will return as Captain America in a new Avengers movie, reportedly titled ‘Doomsday’. This news likely means Disney+ plans for a separate TV project featuring the character have been cancelled. Since the events of ‘Avengers: Endgame’, the story of Captain America has evolved significantly. Steve Rogers has retired, and Sam Wilson has taken over as the new Captain America, most recently seen at the end of ‘Captain America: Brave New World’.

Fans expected Sam Wilson to become the new leader of the Avengers in the upcoming movie, Avengers: Doomsday. However, a leaked trailer suggests that might not happen. The trailer appeared online before official previews were scheduled to be shown with Avatar: Fire and Ash in December 2025.

Recent reports strongly suggest Chris Evans will reprise his role as Steve Rogers in a 2026 Marvel Cinematic Universe film, his first time playing the character since 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. This could mean a shift in leadership for Sam Wilson in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie, and it likely rules out a highly anticipated Disney+ TV series that fans were hoping for.

We Are Not Getting A Steve Rogers Show About Returning The Infinity Stones

Since the release of Avengers: Endgame, many fans have hoped for a TV series to wrap up Chris Evans’ time as Captain America. The movie ended with Steve Rogers traveling through time to return the Infinity Stones, ultimately choosing to live out his life with Peggy Carter in an alternate timeline.

Fans really wanted to see this story adapted for the screen, and many hoped Marvel Studios would make it happen on Disney+ between 2021 and 2025. It would have been a perfect way to conclude Steve Rogers’ story with Chris Evans, and it opened up exciting possibilities for the future.

Steve Rogers’ adventures could have included encounters with many Marvel characters and thrilling action, potentially even a rematch with the Red Skull on Vormir. However, with Steve seemingly set to return in Avengers: Doomsday, a storyline about him returning the Infinity Stones is now unlikely.

Marvel Would Never Waste Chris Evans’ Return In A Disney+ Show

The way Marvel brought back Evans in Avengers: Doomsday makes it clear they wouldn’t have reintroduced Captain America initially through a Disney+ show. While characters like Scarlet Witch and Hawkeye have appeared on streaming, heroes like Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America are simply too popular for a smaller-scale debut.

A huge film like Avengers: Doomsday gives Marvel a great chance to bring back popular characters. Chris Hemsworth is reprising his role as Thor, but Robert Downey Jr.’s return as Doctor Doom is generating the most excitement for the Marvel Cinematic Universe in nearly ten years. The return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers just adds to the buzz.

Bringing Evans back for a major film felt fitting for the scope of the story, but a Disney+ TV show wouldn’t have done his Captain America justice. While Disney+ shows are well-made and contribute to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America is a character of such importance that a smaller-scale TV appearance wouldn’t have been enough.

Will We See Steve Returning The Stones In Avengers: Doomsday?

With Evans reprising his role in Avengers: Doomsday, fans are wondering if the film will show what Steve Rogers did after returning the Infinity Stones. If this is the same Steve Rogers from the main Marvel Cinematic Universe – and not an alternate version from another reality – audiences will expect to see how his life continued after the events of Endgame.

Showing how Steve Rogers got to where he is now would be a good way to set up his future in Avengers: Doomsday. However, the movie already has a lot on its plate, including bringing Robert Downey Jr. back and managing a huge cast. Because of this, it’s unlikely Avengers: Doomsday will show Steve returning the Infinity Stones. In fact, it’s doubtful we’ll see this happen at all, either in the movie or on Disney+.
