Chris Evans Shares His Relationship Status

Chris Evans swiftly debunks buzzing rumors about his anticipated return to Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday. The chatter, swirling through the entertainment universe, has met with Evans’ resolute denial. Known for his iconic portrayal of Captain America, Evans sets the record straight amidst swirling whispers.

Evans’ Tenure as Captain America

Evans’ journey with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) began years ago, cementing his status as a beloved superhero. His alleged final appearance was in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. But fans were treated to a surprise when Evans returned as Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, in the 2024 blockbuster, Deadpool & Wolverine.

However, Evans clarifies that a return as Steve Rogers or any Marvel role isn’t on his radar. Deadline had fueled speculation in December 2024, suggesting Evans’ involvement in Avengers: Doomsday. Crucially, whether he’d reprise his superhero alter-ego or embrace a new role was left unanswered.

Evans Sets the Record Straight

Engaging directly with Esquire, Evans dismissed the rumors of his MCU comeback. "This always happens," he explained, describing the perennial speculation following Endgame. He shared feeling content in retirement from the superhero arena, echoing this sentiment in past conversations with fellow superhero Anthony Mackie.

Avengers: Doomsday and its 2027 sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars, carry the creative helm of Joe and Anthony Russo. Despite a shroud of secrecy enveloping the plot, rumors abound about potential character appearances. The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ primary crew is slated for the upcoming film, alongside Robert Downey Jr.’s formidable Doctor Doom. Benedict Cumberbatch, meanwhile, confirmed Doctor Strange’s absence from Doomsday, albeit with promises of a significant role in Secret Wars.

Beyond the Shield

Evans has kept busy post-Endgame, showcasing his versatile acting prowess. His credits include 2019’s Knives Out and the 2022 thriller The Gray Man. He graced screens in 2023’s Ghosted and Pain Hustlers, recently headlined 2024’s Red One, and will soon star in Ethan Coen’s Honey Don’t!, arriving in May.

As Avengers: Doomsday gears up for a May 1, 2026 release, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on May 7, 2027, fans anticipate the new chapters of Marvel’s expansive saga. Yet, for now, Chris Evans stands firm, steering clear from future Avengers showdowns, focusing instead on diversifying his acting repertoire.
