Chris Evans is back on the big screen, as the latest Avengers: Doomsday trailer confirms he will reprise his role as Steve Rogers.
Trailer Confirms Return
The trailer, released on Dec. 23, opens with a title card that reads, “Steve Rogers will return,” and announces the film’s release date: Dec 18 2026. It shows Rogers driving a motorcycle down a rural road, then approaching a house. Flash-back shots reveal him wearing a wedding band and cradling a baby, hinting at the life he has led since reuniting with Peggy Carter in Avengers: Endgame. The clip also features Rogers opening an old crate and admiring his Captain America suit, foreshadowing the next chapter in the franchise.
Evans’ Past Statements and Family Life
The 44-year-old welcomed a baby girl with his wife Alba Baptista in October. In a 2023 interview with GQ, Evans said, “I’ll never say never, just because it was such a wonderful experience,” and added, “But I’m also very precious with it. It’s something that I am very proud of. And like I said, sometimes I can’t believe it even happened. And I wouldn’t want the black eye if it felt like a cash grab or if it didn’t live up to expectations or if it just felt like it wasn’t connected to that original thing. So, no time soon.” Earlier this year, he told ScreenRant that he was “sad” to miss the fun of filming the upcoming Marvel movie with Anthony, Sebastian Stan, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth and others. He added, “It’s sad to not be back with the band, but I’m sure they’re doing something incredible,” and, “and I’m sure it’s going to be that much harder when it comes out and you feel like you weren’t invited to the party.”
