Chris Evans said he received 'at least a dozen pitches' to return as Steve Rogers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and based on a tease from Captain America star Anthony Mackie, it sounds like Nomad may have been what brought him back.
Chris Evans revealed that Marvel Studios had been discussing his return as Steve Rogers since 2018, with the idea of portraying him as Nomad. Despite initial hesitation, Evans eventually agreed after a call from Robert Downey Jr. and a convincing pitch from Doomsday co-director Joe Russo.
While details about Evans' role in Doomsday remain scarce, it seems likely that his character will not reclaim the Captain America mantle but may instead explore the Nomad storyline from the comics, as hinted by Anthony Mackie.
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to premiere on December 18, 2026, offering fans a chance to see how Steve Rogers' narrative unfolds within the larger MCU context.
