Though not confirmed by Marvel yet, Chris Evans returning as Steve Rogers/Captain America in “Avengers: Doomsday” has long been widely accepted as something that will happen.
Reports in recent weeks have indicated both Evans and Hayley Atwell have been shooting scenes in the UK with a sequence of the film rumored to be taking place at Steve and Peggy’s home.
Since exiting the role in 2019, Evans has slimmed down from his Captain America shape considerably in recent years, as seen back in April when he appeared in Ethan Coen’s “Honey Don’t” in nothing but an athletic supporter.
That appears to have changed, the 44-year-old actor has been photographed at the Toronto International Film Festival this weekend with many taking note that the actor is not only back in buff Captain America shape, but he’s shaved his beard of recent years and gone back to a classic Captain America look.
Evans teased earlier this year during “Materialists” promotions that he talks to Robert Downey Jr. and the Russos “all the time” and said it was “sad to not be back with the band, but I’m sure they’re doing something incredible”.
The new film is continuing production in the UK, though many actors have reportedly already wrapped their scenes short of some inevitable reshoots sometime next year before the film’s release December 2026.
