However, just for good measure, io9 reached out to Marvel Studios, who confirmed that Evans is indeed returning. Avengers: DoomsdayBut the trailer, which has not yet been made available online in an official capacity, refers to the character as “Steve Rogers”, not “Captain America”, So there are still many additional questions to be answered in the film, which hits theaters a year from today,
Questions like, which Steve Rogers is this? Are we back in time with the main guy who put the Infinity Stones back in place, or is it another version because he’s younger? Additionally, the trailer reveals that she has had a child. What does that have to do with it? Is Peggy still in the picture? Not to mention, how will everything going on with this character fit into a story with at least two dozen other Marvel characters? The Steve stuff alone could and probably should be its own movie.
This is one side of it. The flip side is how weird this whole reveal is. Yes, most of us believed the news last year that Evans was returning. We also saw that he thoroughly enjoyed his return as Johnny Storm Deadpool and Wolverine. But Marvel, bless their hearts, really wanted fans to have a fun moment with this news, kept it super secret and hoped to get one of those big, exciting, in-theater reactions.
Unfortunately, though, it’s 2025, and we can’t have such nice things anymore. Someone filmed it, it went online, and now, this big news is kind of coming out screaming.
Does Marvel have any other big news or reveals DoomsdayThere are definitely more teasers to come. But nothing is likely to top the return of Steve Rogers, one of the most famous Avengers.
