As of early 2026, Chris Evans is officially returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While his character Steve Rogers had a definitive ending in Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios confirmed during the "Now in Production" marketing rollout that Evans will reprise his role as Steve Rogers in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday (scheduled for release in late 2026). Recent trailers and industry reports suggest that Steve Rogers will have a significant role, with footage showing him in a "retired" domestic setting before being pulled back into the multiversal conflict. There is also heavy speculation that he may play multiversal variants of the character, allowing Marvel to explore different facets of Captain America without undoing the emotional weight of his original retirement. While Anthony Mackie remains the current Captain America in the timeline of Brave New World, Evans' return marks a major "nostalgia pivot" for the studio. Whether this is a one-time appearance for the "Doomsday/Secret Wars" finale or a longer-term return remains to be seen, but for now, Chris Evans is very much back in the Marvel fold.
