The recent buzz around Chris Evans allegedly reprising his role within the MCU adds another layer of mystery to the film. Unlike the open reveal of Downey Jr.’s role, Marvel has not yet confirmed Evans’ involvement, leaving fans eagerly speculating about his potential character arc.
This ambiguity invites speculation: What if there’s no elaborate twist? After countless narratives that allow characters to return, can we expect the simplest scenario? The revelations in the MCU have consistently demonstrated the creators’ flair for bringing back figures from different timelines or universes.
The Easiest Answer in the MCU
Having portrayed Captain America for years, Chris Evans is synonymous with the character’s iconic legacy; he was pivotal in uniting the Avengers. His return could reignite the nostalgia many fans feel, especially in tandem with Robert Downey Jr.’s return as Doctor Doom.
The multiverse concept may seem overused, yet it presents intriguing opportunities for resurrecting beloved characters or presenting alternate versions. What if Chris Evans indeed returns as Captain America, but in a different iteration? This scenario could introduce a fresh dynamic without discarding the cherished essence of Steve Rogers.
No More Misdirection from Chris Evans
Another intriguing possibility is that Evans might reprise his role as Johnny Storm after his previous portrayal in the early 2000s. As Doctor Doom enters the MCU in the upcoming **Fantastic Four: First Steps**, speculations abound about the multiverse’s role and how these characters might intersect.
While there’s precedent for comedic crossover roles, audiences might view a return as Johnny Storm with skepticism, especially after his humorous portrayal in **Deadpool & Wolverine**. However, this avenue remains plausible, albeit less likely due to expectations.
The narrative most fans seem to support is simply bringing Evans back as Captain America—potentially in a new, darker variant. This creative choice could pave the way for an exhilarating storyline, featuring a revitalized Captain America facing off against Doctor Doom.
Can the MCU Handle Two Iconic Villains?
Even if Evans returns as Captain America, there’s no guarantee he will embody the heroic persona fans adore. Speculations circulate regarding Doctor Doom potentially being a reimagined version of Tony Stark, introducing a dramatic twist as he opposes the Avengers.
Moreover, theories suggest that Doctor Doom could be accompanied by resurrected characters like Wanda Maximoff, intensifying the dramatic stakes against the heroes. The prospect of Chris Evans portraying a villainous version of Steve Rogers could amplify narrative tension, making his return in Avengers: Doomsday a thrilling possibility.
