Sam Wilson's Captain America Future Secure: Chris Evans to Return as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday
Chris Evans is set to return as Steve Rogers, but Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson will continue as Captain America. Evans played Steve Rogers for 10 years in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, passing the shield to Sam at the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Mackie made his debut as Captain America in Captain America: Brave New World and will reprise his role in Avengers: Doomsday alongside Evans.
Fans have expressed concerns that Sam might give up the Captain America mantle to Steve in Avengers: Doomsday. However, insider James Mack reassured that Sam will remain an Avenger and Captain America. While both characters have shared the title in the comics, Sam's tenure as Captain America seems secure for now.
The upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars is rumored to bring changes to the MCU, potentially affecting character roles. Despite this, it appears that Sam Wilson's time as Captain America will continue. Fans can look forward to seeing both Steve and Sam in action in Avengers: Doomsday, set to release on December 18, 2026, as part of Phase 6 of the MCU.
