It looks like Chris Evans isn’t done with the Marvel Cinematic Universe just yet! The 43 year old actor, beloved for his role as Steve Rogers/Captain America, as well as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in Fantastic Four, might be making a thrilling return in Avengers: Doomsday, slated for a 2026 release.
Reports from The Wrap, Variety, and Deadline confirm that Evans recently made a cameo as Johnny Storm in Deadpool & Wolverine alongside Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Could his return to Marvel be more than just a one-time nostalgia trip?
PEOPLE reached out to Disney and Evans' reps for clarification, but no official comments have been made—yet!
What We Know About Avengers: Doomsday
This highly anticipated film is bringing back several familiar faces, including Robert Downey Jr. in an exciting twist as Doctor Doom. The lineup also includes Tom Holland as Spider-Man, Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Susan Storm/The Invisible Woman, and Joseph Quinn as the new Johnny Storm/Human Torch, ruling out Evans reprising that role.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand with Anthony Mackie stepping into the shield as Captain America in Captain America: Brave New World, coming to theaters on February 14, 2025. But it seems Evans’ Steve Rogers may still have some unfinished business in the multiverse.
Evans’ Nostalgic Cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine
This summer, fans were delighted to see Evans reprise his role as Johnny Storm in Deadpool & Wolverine. On Instagram, Evans shared his gratitude for the experience, calling it a "dream come true" and thanking Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and director Shawn Levy for the opportunity.
Reynolds reciprocated the love, writing a heartfelt tribute on social media:
"Seeing Johnny Stolly say it this time."
Evans’ emotional response? "There may be an ocean of Chrises, but only one Ryan Reynolds. And he gives the BEST gifts."
With Avengers: Doomsday set to premiere on May 1, 2026, the Marvel universe is ramping up for its next epic chapter. Will Chris Evans don the Captain America suit one last time? Only time—and perhaps the multiverse—will tell!
