Highlights

  • Rumors swirl around Chris Evans reprising his role as Captain America in Avengers: Secret Wars, stirring excitement and conjecture among fans.
  • Avengers: Secret Wars is rumored to introduce actors from Marvel films predating the MCU, establishing connections across a multiverse.
  • Fan reactions vary, with some concerned that the return of the original Avengers cast might diminish Endgame's impact, while others eagerly anticipate their revival.

Amidst rumors, the Avengers: Secret Wars cast might see the return of an actor from the original team, absent since the conclusion of the Infinity War saga in Endgame.

Avengers: Endgame tracked the team's time-travel quest for the Infinity Stones (destroyed by Thanos post his universe-altering snap) to reverse the Mad Titan's havoc. Tragically, Black Widow sacrificed herself for the Soul Stone, and Iron Man used the stones to vanquish Thanos and his forces. Post-victory, Captain America returned the stones and lived out a life with Peggy Carter, aging in the process.

While farewells were intended for the original Avengers actors, speculations arise as Chris Evans is reportedly set to reprise his role in Avengers: Secret Wars. Details on Evans' character remain unknown, leading to fan theories of his return as the MCU's Captain America or a variant. Alternatively, rumors suggest Evans might portray Human Torch in Deadpool and Wolverine, hinting at a potential Fantastic Four reprisal in Avengers: Secret Wars.

Avengers: Secret Wars is speculated to integrate actors from pre-MCU Marvel movies, like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man. As Marvel Studios' Multiverse Saga finale approaches, past Marvel movie actors may join the MCU, notably from Deadpool and Wolverine, bridging connections from Fox's X-Men films. Evans' potential return as Captain America or Human Torch in Avengers: Secret Wars aligns with his preference for the latter character.

Concerns linger among fans about the original Avengers cast's MCU return possibly diluting Endgame's impact. Comic resurrections have historically devalued significant deaths, a trend the MCU has largely avoided. While the MCU could benefit from iconic hero comebacks post recent box office setbacks, some fans view resurrecting Iron Man and co. as a setback in storytelling integrity.

Notably, no former Avengers actor, including Evans, has been officially confirmed for Avengers: Secret Wars. Marvel Studios' plans regarding Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow's return remain uncertain, prompting debates on pandering versus narrative direction.

Avengers: Secret Wars is slated for a theatrical premiere on May 7, 2027.
