I’m Now Convinced Chris Evans Is Returning To The MCU As Captain America
Following major MCU updates, Chris Evans' Captain America return feels the closest it has ever been, and there’s a perfect way to do it.
What Is Next For Chris Evans In The MCU?
The Actor Has To Come Back
The reaction to Evans' return as Johnny Storm inDeadpool & Wolverinehas been overwhelmingly positive. Audiences still love the actor and want him back in the MCU. The movie surely closed the door on Evans returning as that version of the Human Torch. However, in the multiverse, anything is possible. Evans' Human Torch had a different suit and accent inDeadpool & Wolverine, so Marvel could later reveal it was a variant of the Johnny Storm from the 2000s Fantastic Four.
However, what most fans want to see is Evans come back as Captain America. Well, Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the MCU as Doctor Doom, not Iron Man. With one of the faces of the franchise back as the main villain that the Avengers will battle in the team’s upcoming two movies, bringing back Evans' Steve Rogers to face him would be a no-brainer. The only issue with the move is Evans himself.

With Robert Downey Jr. back in the MCU but as Doctor Doom, Marvel could be using a dark story that sees the return of the original Avengers cast.
Despite having returned to the MCU as Johnny Storm, Evans does not seem as ready to jump back into his Captain America suit. The reason for that is the actor thinks Steve Rogers' MCU journey was fantastic and had a beautiful ending, which Evans has said multiple times he thinks is too precious to risk messing up. Still,Avengers: Secret Warsis the perfect place to bring back all the MCU’s original Avengers cast, andChris Evanscould return to play Captain America one more time before the rumored MCU reboot.
