SinceEndgame‘s fitting departure to Steve Rogers’ Captain America, many were left wondering if the MCU will ever dive into the life of Old Man Rogers, who was successful in his quest of putting every Infinity stone in its place. With Chris Evans now reportedly set to return inAvengers: Doomsday, and potentially in its sequel,Secret Wars, fans have been running wild with his potential purpose in the movie.
Although not much has been unveiled aboutDoomsday‘s plot, which was originally penned as a multiversal epic with Kang at the forefront, one theory could imply his survival in the movie.
Old Man Rogers could ensure Chris Evans’ survival inDoomsday
WhileChris Evanshad no issues stepping into the boots of Human Torch for theDeadpoolthreequel, which served as a callback to his initial roots in the realm of CBMs, he has been reluctant about reprising the role of Rogers again. This isn’t to say we might never see him wielding his shield again, as the actordid say“Never say never”if it feels right.

If he does opt to return as Earth-616’s Captain America, it won’t be unseemly to assume that he might’ve come across Doctor Doom’s shenanigans during his quest to return the Infinity stones. If this indeed turns out to be the case, given that he returns as Old Man Rogers inEndgame, it would mean that Evans potentially survived the events ofAvengers: Doomsday.
Chris Evans blindly trusted Ryan Reynolds over his Human Torch return
Despite his reluctance against the idea of returning as Captain America again, which is reasonable as it could end up undermining the emotional weight ofEndgameif not done right, forDeadpool 3, he had no second thoughts. Elaborating on his decision to return as Human Torch, a character he originally played inFantastic Four, Evans revealed (viaPeople Magazine) that he was convinced in an instant, thanks to his bond with Ryan Reynolds.
It was a couple years ago and I got a text from Ryan, we’re buddies. He just said, ‘Listen, if you don’t like this idea, no worries whatsoever. But I have something that could really bring the house down and would let you play a character from your past’… I mean, honestly, I would do anything Ryan asked. He gave me a great cameo in Free Guy already, and I just trust him completely. So the chance to be Johnny again, I couldn’t pass up.

Fortunately for him, the entire thing proved to be a lot of fun for both him and the fans, as it was more in line with Evans’other notable rolesother than the goody-two-shoes Captain America.
Avengers: Doomsdayis slated to release on August 05, 2025.
