The 2019 MCU blockbusterAvengers: Endgame,saw Chris Evans’ Captain America travel back in time to return the Infinity Stones to their rightful places after defeating Josh Brolin’s Thanos.

Steve Rogers, aka Captain America’s MCU storyline, therefore ended withhim enjoying a hard-earned happily-ever-afterwith Peggy while passing over his shield and his mantle to Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). Thereafter, Chris Evans made his exit from Marvel Studios to explore other opportunities. However, in recent times, the actor is yet again making headlines for his alleged return.
According to scooper accountMyTimeToShineHello, later corroborated byHolyField Newson X, Chris Evans reportedly agreed to reprise his role in the upcomingAvengers: Secret Wars. Previously, appearing onThe View, Evans had expressed his desire to reappear as Captain America by stating, “I would never say never”.

Meanwhile, although nothing has been confirmed so far about Chris Evans’ potential return inAvengers: Secret Wars, it does seem like huge news.
Marvel Fans Aren’t Entirely Happy With the Rumor
Despite the buzz surrounding the alleged reports of Chris Evans’ return to the MCU, a few fans appear worried about the outcome. With some being excited about the prospect of seeing Evans reprise his iconic role as Captain America, others seem more skeptical since they believe bringing back familiar faces might hinder the progress made so far.

Much likeChris Evanspreviously emphasized the importance of finding a meaningful reason to return, because he doesn’t want to tarnish his character’s legacy, Marvel fans appear hesitant for the same reason. Netizens are in doubt about the MCU having a compelling storyline that will do justice to Captain America, especially after he found his satisfactory ending inAvengers: Endgame.
Happy because he’s returning, but a bit worried since he had a great ending with Peggy, we will obviously see a variant of Cap but still…

Hope this is either just in a flashback or a multiversal variant.

Can’t they just leave him dead? Old marvel is dead. Focus on making these new slacking characters good. Omg

People cry about it him coming back but he’s gotta be the Human Torch or a variant of Cap in this movie, our Steve is long gone and had his life with Peggyhttps://t.co/VmckpgX7co

Further, considering the fact that Steve Rogers handed over the mantle to Sam Wilson akaThe Falcon to be the next Captain America, fans believe if Evans returns inAvengers: Secret Wars, the movie might showcase another variant of the character. Therefore, worried about the quality of the script and the potential impact on the character’s legacy, fans appear to be in a dilemma over Evans’ alleged return.
Avengers: Secret Warsis scheduled to be released on 13 June 2025.
