I’ve Changed My Mind, Chris Evans’ MCU Return Has Actually Been Perfectly Set Up Since Marvel Hasn’t Let Steve Rogers Fully Die After Endgame

I might have been initially apprehensive about Chris Evans’ return, but after reflecting on how much the MCU kept the legacy of Steve Rogers alive since Avengers: Endgame​​​​​​, I’ve changed my mind. Captain America’s MCU story ostensibly came to an end in Avengers: Endgame after the Avengers leader lived a long and happy life with Peggy Carter, growing old, and bequeathing his iconic shield and mantle to Sam Wilson. His whereabouts since have been up for speculation, though this will likely be addressed in Captain America: Brave New World in February.

Whatever the case, it’s probably safe to say that Earth-616’s Steve Rogers has bowed out of the MCU. Yet it was recently reported that Chris Evans will return in Avengers: Doomsday alongside Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom. His role is to be confirmed, but this has sparked a firestorm of speculation given that Robert Downey Jr. will not be portraying Tony Stark (though Doom could still be a Stark variant). Alongside this speculation is a healthy dose of skepticism, as a significant contingent of MCU fans express concerns over Marvel’s motives.

Chris Evans And RDJ’s MCU Returns Have Been Criticized As Cheap Nostalgia Bait

Some Believe That Marvel Has Run Out Of Ideas

While there’s no denying that Robert Downey Jr.’s face-reveal at San Diego Comic-Con made for an electric atmosphere, it didn’t take long for a sense of trepidation to emerge. It’s hard to ignore the announcement’s proximity to the MCU’s suboptimal 2023, which has led more than a few to theorize that Marvel cast its most bankable actor as the arch-villain of the Multiverse Saga to help recuperate its losses. This may be a cynical reading, but it’s hard to ignore Tony Stark’s importance to the MCU. It isn’t as if Marvel is re-casting a relatively minor MCU actor.

This reticence was intensified with the announcement that Chris Evans would also be returning. To many, it started to look like Marvel Studios was running out of ideas and bringing back the foremost heroes of the Infinity Saga as nostalgia bait to change the fortunes of the franchise. The fact that the MCU had seemingly moved away from Kang as the newest arch-villain was also notable, as it seemed as if the studio was switching out new ideas for old ones. With that being said, I’m starting to think that Evans’ return was the plan all along.
