Chris Evans is brushing the dust off his Captain
America suit as he expected to reprise the role in the Marvel Cinematic
Universe (MCU).
Although it is still unclear if the deal is completely closed but sources say it’s headed that direction for Evans to return as Steve Rogers also known as Captain America in at least one Marvel property with the possibility for a second film.

Evans had been very public that he would be hanging up
the shield after Avengers: Endgame with Marvel going as far as having the character
handed the shield to Anthony Mackie’s character at the end of the film in a
passing of the torch type of moment.
However, sources added that it’s unlikely to be a new
Captain America film and more likely to be similar to what Robert Downey, Jr.
did after Iron Man 3 installment, appearing in films like Captain America:
Civil War and Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Things had changed in recent months as the idea
proposed of Evans returning to the MCU as Rogers, to see if there was any
interest. And as the weeks passed by, Chris Evans became more amenable to the
idea with the two parties coming to agreement at the top of the year.
Over the years, even after a character’s film
franchises have come to an end. Marvel has found ways to insert the characters
into the MCU in other projects.

Having the new Disney Plus limited series also adds
more options where Evans could make his return if it’s not his own film. Evans’
return in the MCU is still unclear and is being worked out, but the options are
indefinite.
Whatever that course may be, fans are sure to be
excited knowing they would be seeing the return of a character that they
assumed wouldn’t be back anytime soon.
