Marvel Chris Evans is speaking out about his big return to the MCU in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday . The 45-year-old actor is set to reprise his role as Steve Rogers in the next Avengers installment, marking his first time as the character since Avengers: Endgame in 2019. He briefly returned to the MCU in 2024, reprising his Fantastic Four role of Johnny Storm in Deadpool & Wolverine . While attending the 2026 San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday (July 25), Chris opened up about returning to the role and why this was the right project after receiving “at least a dozen pitches” over the years. Marvel bosses have pitched different ideas to Chris Evans over 8 years “When we finished Endgame in 2018, Lou [D’Esposito] and Kevin [Feige] took me to dinner and they were like, ‘We’d love to keep doing movies with Steve Rogers as Nomad,’” Chris told Entertianment Weekly , referring to one of Steve’s alternate identities after hanging up the Captain America mantle. “And I said, ‘Okay, well, what do you got?’” “They showed me a pitch, and it was a great pitch, but for whatever reason, it just didn’t feel right at the time,” he added. “I kind of wanted to… I was a little precious. I wanted to preserve it. But I just said, ‘Please keep pitching.’” “Over the course of eight years, I probably heard at least a dozen pitches,” Chris continued. “And they were all wonderful. It just never quite felt right. And you do start thinking maybe that’s the expiration — whatever it is — maybe it’s not right because it’s just not right.” Chris Evans reveals why Avengers: Doomsday was the right time to return “I got a phone call from my team saying there’s a rumor [ Robert Downey Jr. is] talking to Marvel, and I was like, ‘Uh, oh. What does this mean?’” he recalled to EW . “And all of a sudden it felt right. [ Doomsday co-director Joe Russo ] gave me the pitch, and Downey was baying. It just all of a sudden… it was like, ‘This is it.’” What’s next for Chris Evans in the MCU “I guess it’s a never-say-never, but certainly not willing to just jump back in for anything because I think everyone here is precious with their role in the universe,” the actor said. “This stuff, it’s earned its position over a long period of time. You don’t want to mess with that.” If you missed it, check out all the pics of Chris Evans and more Marvel stars at Comic-Con !
