Is Chris Evans suiting up once again as Captain America?
There is huge buzz on social media about Chris Evans playing Captain America once again. The actor is reportedly in talks to make a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Captain America, bringing the character back from his supposed retirement in Avengers: Endgame.
According to a report by Deadline last January 14, Evans has been in talks to “return as Steve Rogers aka Captain America in at least one Marvel property, with the door open for a second film.”
The report also mentioned that “it’s unlikely to be a new ‘Captain America’ installment and more likely to be like what Robert Downey Jr. did after Iron Man 3, appearing in such films as ‘Captain America: Civil War’ and ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’.”
Lots of Marvel fans were happy to hear the news, but some fans think the actor shut down the rumors last January 15 with a tweet saying “News to me,” followed by a shrugging emoji.
As of now, Marvel had no comment for the outlet, nor a confirmation on how Captain America would return — whether it would be as his younger self or as the older version we last see in Avengers: Endgame, in which a retired Cap passes the shield to Anthony Mackie’s Falcon (subsequently leading the way to the upcoming Disney+ series Falcon and the Winter Soldier).
Chris Evans last appeared as Captain America in “Avengers: Endgame” after the heroes saved the world after the mad titan Thanos.
