There is a rumor out there that Chris Evans is negotiating
with Marvel Studios to reprise his role as Captain America. We do not know if
this is true or not and Chris Evans did post on Twitter that it was news to him
And we have had multiple rumors that were denied that ended
up being true (I am looking at you Hailee Steinfeld and Tatiana Maslany) so
this is probably all a part of an NDA that was signed by the actor. The rumor
got us thinking of how we would like to see Chris Evans back and we have a
couple of ideas.
At one point in the comics, the super soldier serum was
removed from Steve Rogers and he aged up and could no longer be Captain
America, since we have already seen old man Steve in the MCU, he could come
back as a mentor to Sam Wilson as Captain America and maybe even lead Shield
for a bit since Nick Fury might be working with SWORD for a bit of time.
Captain America could also return as part of Secret Empire,
the storyline deals with HYDRA's takeover of the Marvel Universe after Captain
America is revealed to be one of their agents ever since the sentient Cosmic
Cube Kobik affected his memories. This causes the rest of the superheroes to
join forces and rebel against their former leader and friend to prevent the
United States from falling under Hydra's control.
Another option is as a Skrull, Secret Invasion was recently
announced as a show coming to Disney Plus and this event will probably show up
in multiple movies after the show so Chris showing up as Captain America only
to find out that he is part of the Skrulls would be pretty awesome.
With all the Multiverse action coming to the MCU, I have a
feeling this is all going to lead into Secret Wars. Secret Wars is a 2015
Crisis Crossover in Marvel Comics, by Jonathan Hickman. It is named after the
first Secret Wars crossover from 1984, as it shares some plot points with it.
The Multiverse is collapsing because of the actions of the Beyonders. Since
this has multiple Captain Americas in it (multiple of almost all the heroes)
this would be a great way to see Chris Evans back as Captain America.
And finally the version of Rogers that goes back for Peggy
likely stuck around kicking ass...I could see that being an excellent entry
point for a version of The Invaders in the MCU. I am all for seeing more
stories from World War 2. Namor, the original Human Torch, Spitfire, Whizzer
and Union Jack could all be working with Captain America against Hydra.
