Chris Evans has confirmed that he will return as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Secret Wars. The actor revealed that he is set to begin work on the film within the next couple of months.
Footage shared by Instagram user Comicconmomsi features Evans confirming his involvement in Secret Wars. However, he remained tight-lipped about the size of his role in the movie.
Evans said, “I can tell you that I start work on the next one in a couple of months. I can’t tell you how much I’m in the next one, but I’m in it.”
Speaking to Empire Magazine, Anthony Russo teased Steve Rogers’ importance in Avengers: Doomsday, saying that he and Joe Russo have “a special affinity with the character.”
Anthony Russo said, “We have a special affinity with the character.” He added, “We can’t see this narrative without his central role in it, basically. The special place he holds among the ensemble, he sort of retains that moving forward.”
Following Endgame, Steve is living a quiet life with Peggy and their son when Loki arrives. Now in control of the timelines, Loki explains that the TVA sees Steve’s presence as a mistake and intends to erase the timeline. Loki gives Steve a choice—relocate to a different universe where he and his family can live without being hunted. They are then sent to Earth-828, the Fantastic Four’s world.
A recent plot leak claims that Doom brings Steve Rogers to his castle in Latveria on his Earth. Steve meets a group of masked witches loyal to Doom, and one of them impersonates Peggy in an attempt to trick him. Doom explains that the incursion began because Steve was never meant to exist in that universe.
Here’s the official synopsis for Avengers: Doomsday:
“Beloved heroes from three distinct universes (Earth-616, Earth-828, and Earth-10005) will be set on a deadly collision course and face an existential threat unlike anything they’ve ever encountered.”
Directed by the Russo brothers from a screenplay by their longtime collaborator Stephen McFeely and Michael Waldron.
