Chris Evans is set to rejoin the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in Avengers: Doomsday. While specific details of his role remain under wraps, sources confirm that Evans will appear in some capacity.
Fans speculate he may return as a variant of Captain America, though this hasn’t been officially confirmed. Earlier this year, Evans portrayed Johnny Storm, the Human Torch from Fantastic Four, as a variant in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Evans last appeared in the MCU as an aged Steve Rogers in Avengers: Endgame. After traveling back in time to return the Infinity Stones, Rogers chose to stay with Peggy Carter, achieving his happy ending. Although his current status in the MCU is ambiguous, hints suggest his character has passed away.
The expanding multiverse provides Marvel with opportunities to reimagine characters. Alongside Evans, Robert Downey Jr. will also make a surprising return in Avengers: Doomsday, playing Doctor Doom rather than Iron Man. Additionally, Tom Holland is rumored to have a significant role as Spider-Man in the upcoming films.
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for release in May 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars in May 2027. Evans will reunite with directors Joe and Anthony Russo, who previously directed him in acclaimed MCU films, including Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Endgame.
Chris Evans has been protective of his iconic role as Captain America. In a 2023 interview, he expressed openness to returning but emphasized the importance of preserving the character’s legacy. “I’ll never say never,” Evans remarked, “but it would have to feel just right.”
He shared similar feelings in previous interviews, highlighting how meaningful the experience was and his reluctance to tarnish the role with an ill-conceived comeback.
In 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger, audiences witnessed Steve Rogers’ dramatic transformation from a frail young man to the muscular Captain America, courtesy of the Super Soldier Serum. Rogers, initially 5’4″ and 97 pounds, was portrayed as morally upright, making him the ideal candidate for the serum.
Creating the “skinny” Steve Rogers required advanced CGI and innovative filmmaking techniques. Lola Visual Effects used a combination of digital resizing and body doubling to achieve the effect. Leander Deeny served as Evans’ body double for these scenes, mimicking his movements and expressions.
Scenes were shot multiple times: first with Evans, then with Deeny replicating his performance. A clean plate shot captured the background without actors, and the final product combined all these elements. Evans’ face was digitally added to Deeny’s body, with adjustments made to align facial proportions. Without these tweaks, features like Evans’ jawline and neck might have appeared disproportionate.
The transformation technique proved so effective that it was reused in flashback scenes in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. In these instances, another body double, Christopher George Sarris, stepped in to portray the younger, pre-serum Steve Rogers.
This meticulous work not only added depth to Captain America’s character but also set a high standard for visual effects in the MCU, leaving a lasting impression on fans worldwide.
