Marvelis reportedly bringing back another of its iconic stars in Chris Evans forAvengers: Doomsday.
PerDeadline, Wilson is also slated to appear inAvengers: Doomsday.
Chris Evans has reportedly agreed to return to the MCU in an undisclosed role
Avengers 5won’t be the first time that Evans has returned to the MCU.
Indeed, the immediate question that comes to mind is who he’ll be playing.
Of course, Marvel could employ Evans as a completely different character.
Evans was last seen playing Captain America in Avengers: Endgame
Sure, he could return again as The Human Torch, but that’s already been done.
Why is Chris Evans returning to the MCU?
To get bums on seats.
Evans' portrayal of Captain America remains incredibly popular to this day
The Russo brothers have helmed some of the highest-grossing and most acclaimed MCU films ever.
Downey Jr and Evans, meanwhile, require no introduction to audiences.
Does it reek of desperation on Marvel’s part?
Scarlett Johansson is the only original Avengers team member who hasn’t signed on to appear in Avengers 5 yet
For a business perspective, that’s all that matters to Marvel and parent company Disney.
Is Scarlett Johansson next in line for a shock MCU return?
Johansson’s possible return is trickier.
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow died inAvengers: Endgame, so she definitely won’t show up.
Like Evans, though, Johansson could play an alternate reality version of Romanoff and her super-spy alias.
File this one away as ‘incredibly unlikely’ to happen, then.
