We’ve known for months that Robert Downey Jr. would be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Avengers: Doomsday – but as Dr. Doom and not Tony Stark – but it seems like he won’t be the only OG Avengers actor to return in the 2026 film. The Wrap reports that Chris Evans, who we recently saw as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in Deadpool & Wolverine, will appear in Avengers: Doomsday, but whether he will don the stars and stripes as Steve Rogers’ Captain America remains to be seen.
This news comes just months before the release of Captain America: Brave New World, in which Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson carries the Cap franchise forward for the first time since the 2021 Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. With that film’s Feb. 14 release date fast approaching, though, rumors of poor test screenings and last-minute reshoots have dampened expectations to a certain extent. Does this casting news shed light on a nostalgia-driven desperation play, or is Evans – like Downey – playing another character entirely?
