Chris Evans is ‘cheerfully retired’ from the MCU; discredits all reports about a comeback in Avengers: Doomsday

Captain America star Chris Evans has discredited all reports proposing he’d get back in the saddle in MCU’s upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday

Chris Evans has solidly denied hypothesis that he will repeat his part in the Marvel cinematic Universe’s forthcoming 2026 film, Avengers: Doomsday. The film, which is set to include the arrival of Robert Downey Jr. in a shiny new job as the disgusting Victor Von Doom otherwise known as Dr. Doom, was accounted for to stamp Evans’ rebound too. Notwithstanding, the previous Captain America entertainer has excused these cases inside and out.

The hypothesis began from a report by The Hollywood Columnist in December last year, recommending that Evans was in converses with rejoin the MCU. Nonetheless, in a new meeting with Esquire, Evans disproved the cases, communicating his lack of engagement in returning to the hero establishment.
However, that is false. This generally occurs. All in all, it happens each two or three years — since Final plan. I’ve recently quit answering it. Definitely, no — joyfully resigned!” he explained.

While Evans’ last undeniable appearance as Steve Rogers was in 2019’s Vindicators: Final plan, he made an unexpected appearance last year in Deadpool and Wolverine. Curiously, this wasn’t as Captain America yet rather as Johnny Tempest, a job he played in Fantastic Four (2005) and its 2007 sequel, Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Evans’ long-time co-star, Anthony Mackie, who plays Sam Wilson (formerly Falcon and now the new Captain America), also seemed unaware of the rumours regarding Evans’ return. Mackie and Evans worked together for five years in the MCU, with their characters sharing a strong bond—culminating in Steve Rogers passing on his shield to Sam at the end of Endgame. Mackie is now set to lead Captain America: Brave New World, solidifying his place as the franchise’s new star-spangled hero.

At the point when gotten some information about Evans’ expected return, Mackie conceded he was unaware of everything going on and uncovered that Evans had actually let him know he had no designs to return.

“I didn’t have the foggiest idea!” Mackie conceded. “I conversed with Chris half a month prior and it wasn’t on the table then, at that point. In any event, he didn’t let me know it was on the table, since I asked him. I was like, ‘You know, they said they’re bringing everybody back for the film. Are you returning?’ He goes, ‘Goodness, you know, I’m cheerfully resigned.'”

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be helmed by the Russo Brothers, the chiefs behind Vastness War and Final stage. The film will check Robert Downey Jr’s. return to the MCU, not as Tony Unmistakable but rather as the famous Wonder villian, Doctor Doom. With Evans staying ardent in his retirement, Mackie is supposed to become the overwhelming focus in the upcoming Avengers films as the new Captain America.

While speculation surrounding past MCU stars remains a constant topic of discussion, Evans has made his stance clear—his time as Captain America is over, and for now, he remains content with retirement.
