Chris Evans Circling Appearance in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
Chris Evans will return in "Avengers: Doomsday."
), at the end of 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” Cap had aged into an old man and passed the character’s patriotic shield to Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, and this summer, Evans showed up in a brief, scene-stealing role in the billion-dollar smash “Deadpool & Wolverine” as Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, his character from Fox’s 2005 and 2007 “Fantastic Four” movies. Plot details for “Doomsday” have been kept under wraps, but Robert Downey Jr. is back, too — not in his career-defining role as Iron Man, but as Doctor Victor von Doom, the main villain for the Fantastic Four. Joe and Anthony Russo are directing “Doomsday” and 2027’s “Avengers: Secret Wars,” which will conclude the Multiverse Saga of the MCU, and they’ve alluded that the movies will be connected, à la the two-part story of 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Endgame.” Those back-to-back blockbusters spotlighted a who’s who of Avengers, including but not limited to Evans as Captain America, Downey as Iron Man, Tom Holland as Spider-Man, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye and Paul Rudd as Ant-Man.
