While the official announcement of Evans’s return wasn’t a complete surprise – a teaser featuring Steve Rogers had already leaked online after playing before early screenings of Avatar: Fire and Ash – the reaction wasn’t universally positive, with some online expressing their disapproval. However, the Russo brothers, who directed previous films featuring the character, are clearly thrilled, calling it “the story that brought us all here together.” The teaser hints at his return, but how and why remains a mystery. We’ll find out when Doomsday hits theaters on December 18, 2026. With over two dozen cast members already confirmed, Marvel has plenty of time to release more individual character previews in the meantime.
