“There Are Possibilities”: Here’s Who the New Captain America Thinks Chris Evans Should Play In’ Avengers: Doomsday’ — if He Returns

The premiere ofCaptain America: Brave New Worldis upon us, and it’s finally time forAnthony Mackieto step into the spotlight and take on the mantle of Captain America on the big screen for the first time. Sam Wilson was the perfect candidate to take over the role, but he still has a long way to go if he wants to reach the same tenure as the previous Captain America.Chris Evansportrayed the Star Spangled Man for eight years before his final outing inAvengers: Endgame, but there has been whispershe will return to the MCUinAvengers: Doomsday. Evans himself hasdebunked these rumors, and while it’s unclear if he’s pulling anAndrew Garfieldor not, Mackie spoke toVarietyrecently and weighed in on who he would like to see Evans playshould he decide to return in a futureAvengersmovie:

“There were comic books whereFalcon and Steve Rogers fought side-by-side, both as Captain America. So, you know, there are possibilities. There’s endless possibilities.”

Part of what made the MCU such a success near the end of Phase 3 was the payoff for fans who had been watching since the beginning. Whether it’s watching Captain America lift Mjolnir after almost doing so inAge of Ultron, hearing Sam Wilson come through the portal and say “on your left” as Steve did to him inThe Winter Soldier, or watching Tony (Robert Downey Jr.) reconnect with his father who dies before he became Iron Man, these felt like gifts to Marvel fans. If we get to see Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers suit up side-by-side, each with a shield in hand, that would be the kind of payoff that would likely quiet some complaints about the post-Endgameera of Marvel stories.
