Rumor has it that Chris Evans will return to the Avengers 5 movie

Foreign media The Wrap has exclusively learned that "Captain America" ​​Chris Evans will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to star in the highly anticipated sequel "Avengers 5: Doomsday", but the specific role is unknown. Previously, Marvel has officially announced that old MCU actor Robert Downey Jr. will return to play Doctor Doom.

In the 2019 movie "Avengers 4", Captain America, played by Chris Evans, aged and handed over the responsibility of Captain America to Falcon. However, Evans himself recently returned to the MCU and made a cameo appearance in the movie "Deadpool and Wolverine" (the role of "Human Torch" in the Fantastic Four).

The Russo brothers, who directed "Captain America 3: Civil War", "Avengers 3: Infinity War" and "Avengers 4: End Game", will return to direct "Avengers 5" and its sequel "Avengers 6".

"Avengers 5" is expected to be released on May 1, 2026.

The news that Evans will return to the Marvel Universe has long been circulating in the fan circle, but Marvel declined to comment.

The details of his return are particularly interesting because the Steve Rogers he plays is already an old man in "Avengers 4". However, after the death of "Iron Man" Tony Stark in "Avengers 4", Downey Jr. will return to Marvel as "Doctor Doom", so how Evans will return is very worthy of the fans' expectations.
