This is the big news of the day. While Chris Evans had given up the role of Captain America after Avengers : Endgame, we learn today that the actor will find his old costume for a mysterious film.
Back soon
At the end ofAvengers : Endgame, Steve Rogers hangs up his shield. After defeating Thanos, the Avengers leader returns to the different dimensions, in order to return each of the Infinity Stone they had borrowed in order to thwart the Mad Titan’s plans. Determined to listen to the advice given to him by Tony Stark, Steve decides to pass the torch to Sam Wilson, the Falcon.
While we never thought we would ever see Chris Evans as Captain America again, our colleagues from Deadline however, we learn that the American actor will take over the role. Chris Evans would indeed be in discussion with Marvel Studios for a film, or even a second.
Be careful, however, it will not be a fourth part of Captain America. Indeed, Marvel Studios seems determined not to diminish the events ofAvengers : Endgame, by reviewing the various events of the film’s conclusion. Steve Rogers is expected to have, in upcoming MCU movies, a role similar to that of Tony Stark in the movie Spider-Man : Homecoming.
It is not known, however, how Marvel will bring Steve Rogers back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Several solutions are available to them: Steve Rogers can come back for a flashback (although the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not familiar with this scriptwriting method). He can also be present in another dimension, in which Steve Rogers did not retire. Indeed, many future works will work in the Multiverse, starting with WandaVision and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. We can also imagine a cameo or a return in Falcon et Winter Soldier where his two friends, Sam and Bucky, will be the headliners.
However, we can to question the reasons which push Disney and Marvel Studios to start discussions with Chris Evans to organize his return in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Indeed, it is possible that the studio tries to reassure itself concerning the reception of its phases to come, which will include more and more many characters. Certainly fearing that some fans will not appreciate the departure of the original Avengers, Marvel Studios arguably seeks to smooth the transition between the different phases of the MCU.
We will keep you posted on the progress of negotiations between Chris Evans and Disney.
