- Chris Evans is willing to return as Steve Rogers, but only if the conditions are perfect and the character’s legacy isn’t jeopardized.
- Evans wanted to give the character’s previous narrative journey time to breathe before potentially returning.
- Bringing Steve Rogers back as Captain America would be risky for Marvel and could tarnish the legacy of new characters like Sam Wilson.
If recent reports are to be believed, Marvel Cinematic Universe executives are considering the possibility of bringing back older characters, but Chris Evans has revealed the terms of his return as the beloved Captain America. Now that the MCU is halfway through its multiverse saga, brand new characters have been introduced in droves along with some of the old MCU cast, including Bruce Banner and Thor. To get to this point, many of the original cast members made the ultimate sacrifice, or like Captain America, aged gracefully on a journey back to the 1940s and were given Steve Rogers’ Perfect ending.
In this case, it’s not impossible for Chris Evans’ Rogers to return – but as an older version of the character. However, if he did, he would have little chance of reprising his role as Captain America, thereby stealing glory from his successor, Sam Wilson, before Wilson had a chance to establish his own legacy. Still, Marvel is in crisis, with executives reportedly already discussing bringing back the likes of RDJ’s Iron Man and a young Steve Rogers in an attempt to revive the troubled Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, Chris Evans would need to come on board and that’s not certain yet.
How to get Chris Evans back as Captain America
Chris Evans has repeatedly discussed the possibility of returning as Steve Rogers since leaving in 2019 Avengers: Endgame, his position was concrete, albeit somewhat noncommittal. In short, he would accept the idea, but only if “Must be perfect,” It has been emphasized time and time again that the character is so precious and beloved that he is unwilling to jeopardize the character’s legacy by returning under less than ideal circumstances. Arguably, this is a commonly held view that illustrates this How precious characters are. Steve Rogers has become a character.
As for what constitutes perfect conditions, Evans offers a few tips.talking QEvans explained that his return had to come after a while to allow the character’s previous narrative journey to take a breather.Additionally, he seems interested in anything that happened before that could retroactively affect Steve, saying MTV News,”I almost don’t want to ruin what a wonderful experience [playing Captain America] used to be.” So, as the variant looks like Avengers: Kang Dynasty or secret wars May qualify.
Why Chris Evans’ return will be a challenge for the Marvel Universe
Without a cameo, Steve Rogers’ return would be a risky move for Marvel.While reports of behind-the-scenes troubles are well known (public failures, e.g. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania It’s Hard to Bury), and after introducing fresh faces like Ms. Marvel and Shang-Chi, Marvel was actually sending a message of desperation by bringing back those sunset heroes so quickly.A quick revenge on a character in a movie, e.g. Avengers: Secret Wars That would be a satisfying nod to their legacy, but as Evans suggests, putting them front and center again is more likely to tarnish it.
Not only that, but Steve Rogers’ story, like Tony Stark’s, has a poignant ending: Return to Destroy. Part of that, of course, was his decision to name Sam Wilson as Captain America’s successor – a character just determined to take that responsibility seriously. With Sam Wilson’s first solo movie yet to come out, this is a huge disservice to his character, as he has little chance to make his mark as Captain America in the Marvel Universe.
