Doomsday? Well… according to Captain America himself he isn't. Though The Hollywood Reporter confirmed in December that Evans would be dipping back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the actor is now denying those reports.

The Wrap reported that Chris Evans had accepted The World’s Most Predictable Job Offer, i.e., a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where everybody likes him, and nobody makes him hack computers to stop snow witches from murdering Santa Claus or whatever.

In Anthony Mackie’s new cover story for Esquire, Chris Evans revealed he told his Marvel co-star that he was the next Captain America in the MCU. “I inadvertently was the one who got to tell him that he was going to be Captain America. I didn’t know that he didn’t know,” Evans, 43, said in the story published Thursday.

Marvel's former Captain America is the latest Avenger to deny any further return to the franchise, seemingly an obligatory claim at this point.

Anthony Mackie and Chris Evans spent five years making Marvel movies together as Sam Wilson/Falcon and Steve Rogers/Captain America. Their characters were close friends, with Steve bestowing the Captain America shield to Sam at the end of 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.

Avengers, disassemble. Chris Evans, who played Captain America for nearly a decade in the MCU, is not returning to Marvel for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. At least that’s what he told Esquire in a profile of his former co-star, Anthony Mackie.

Chris Evans has responded to the recent report that he's returning for Avengers: Doomsday, either as Steve Rogers/ Captain America or another character. An article from Deadline in December "confirmed" that the actor had signed on for Marvel's next big team-up film, due out next year.

Captain America star Chris Evans has said he isn't returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Avengers Doomsday or any other film, despite reports to the contrary.
