Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), had a happy ending in the end EndgameThe Avengers have announced that Evans will be retiring. We knew that was going to happen regardless, as Evans’ contract was up. There was another option, which would have been death. But Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), won that honor. But we’ve been expecting Marvel to surprise fans with their return ever since.
Many rumors have circulated since 2019, suggesting that Marvel may bring back these two characters to the MCU. Steve’s old age or Tony’s death would not even matter as there are ways to make it happen. Marvel can make multiverse movies or prequels featuring these characters, without taking anything away. Endgame.
The actors would not confirm their return. While both Evans and RDJ wouldn’t rule out more Marvel movies, they’ll still say they’re happy with how things ended in the last Avengers movie. But we’ve got a good reason to believe that Chris Evans is returning to the MCU no matter what he’s willing to say publicly. This is something you need to know You might find some spoilers below..
The MCU already has an updated Captain America
We’ll never know whether Marvel intended to reveal the entire Phase 5 and three significant Phase 6 titles at Comic-Con, or if it did it because the titles of most of those movies leaked a day early. It is important to note that many of the leaked trademarks were confirmed by Marvel, including the titles. Avengers 5 Avengers 6.
Captain America 4Also, the title and release date are official. The plans state that New World OrderThe film will be released in theaters May 3, 2024. Yes, it is true. Captain AmericaTitle was included in the initial wave trademark leaks.
But New World Order isn’t a story about Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers. That’s because the MCU has a new Captain America, which Evans has reiterated in interviews. The shield was accepted by Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). The Falcon, and the Winter Soldier. This is the Story Captain America 4This has been mentioned in many rumors.
Also, there’s a second Captain AmericaThese trademarks were leaked. That one probably isn’t about Chris Evans’ return to the MCU either.
The trademark is being leaked
Let’s look at the trademark leaks that preceded the Comic-Con event, and we’re going to mark the ones that Marvel already announced:
- Secret Wars: Avengers – November 7th, 2025
- Avengers: The Kang Dynasty – May 2nd, 2025
- Captain America: New World Order – May 3rd, 2024
- Thunderbolts – July 6th, 2024
- Multiverse Saga – the title of the current saga
- Avengers: Eternity Wars – unannounced
- Captain America: Red White and Black – unannounced
- Celestials at the End of Time – unannounced
- Midnight Sons – unannounced
- Nomad – unannounced
- Shang-Chi & The Wreckage to Time – unannounced
- The Black Knight: Origins – unannounced
We bolded also NomadYou can find the reason in the above list. That’s a Captain AmericaFilms not included in the movie Captain America franchise. This movie may be the MCU secret that will see Chris Evans return to Marvel.
Marvel has confirmed nearly half of all trademarks leaked prior to Comic-Con 2022, which suggests that they are also genuine. Some may be from Phase 6, since Marvel still has eight titles unannounced in that phase. Some could be Phase 7 titles. Eternity WarsThis certainly sounds like a post Phase-6 adventure.
Also, let’s remember that the Nomad trademark has appeared before, going unexplained.
Chris Evans will most likely star as Chris Evans Nomad
But NomadMight always be part 6 That’s how you get back Chris Evans to the MCU in time of a massive Secret Wars film where he’ll interact with all the new Avengers, despite being retired and all.
Nomad is Captain America’s alter-ego in the comics. After he has given up the shield, he uses this one. Steve Rogers is nomad for a brief time. Other people have been called this in the MCU.
But, considering all we know so far NomadMust be a Chris Evans movie. It could be a prequel in which Marvel shows us Evans’ past. Civil War Infinity War. If that story is of interest to you, Multiverse Saga.
Or it can be a story of Steve Rogers’ days in an alternate reality where he married Peggy. In that alternate reality, there would have been a regular Captain America. Perhaps he chose a different name in order to avoid being noticed.
Finally, it could be a Cap from the multiverse that we’ll need in Secret Wars.
Nomad, whatever the case may be, can only be played by Chris Evans. That’s how he can return without ruining Steve Rogers’ arc in Endgame. There’s no real point for Marvel to introduce the other characters who became Nomad in the comics.
We will note that Marvel’s plans can always change. That’s what we will be able to say. NomadOfficially, trademark is not yet being made into a movie.
