Chris Evans says Steve Rogers is retired, and that’s good news for Avengers: Doomsday.
Leave it to ol Steve Rogers to say, No, I dont think I will.
Initial reports suggested thatChris Evanswould joinRobert Downey Jr.andthe Russo BrothersforAvengers: Doomsday.
But in a new conversation withEsquire,Anthony Mackiestated that Evans downplayed those rumors.
In fact, the absence of Steve Rogers asCaptain Americamay be the best thing for the movie.
The elderly Steve absolutely made the right choice when he handed the shield to Sam Wilson inEndgame.
It would reduce Sam to Caps sidekick once again.
Soon, the glow of nostalgia will fade and the entire project will stink of a desperate cash grab.
However, asDeadpool & Wolverinereminded us, Evans doesnt have to be Captain America to be in aMarvelmovie.
Cap Gone Bad, Cap Gone Good, or No Cap At All?
At this point, we still dont have any idea about the plot toAvengers: Doomsday.
If Evans wanted to stay in his old age form fromEndgame, Marvel could adaptSteve Rogers: Super Soldier.
SHIELD was able to restore the serum and decrease the aging, but not all the way.
Anyone whose read more than two Marvel comic books has seen their favorite characters reimagined in outrageous ways.
Theyll just want to see Chris Evans as Steve Rogers as Captain America again.
Evans did a great job bringing to life the fundamental goodness of Steve Rogers.
But his fight in the MCU is over.
Its time to let someone else carry the load.
Avengers: Doomsday releases on May 1, 2026.
