Chris Evans Already Revealed His Conditions To Return As Captain America In The MCU
Summary
- Chris Evans is open to returning as Steve Rogers, but only if the conditions are perfect and won't jeopardize the legacy of the character.
- Evans wants to allow time for the character's previous narrative journey to breathe before potentially returning.
- Bringing back Steve Rogers as Captain America would be risky for Marvel and could tarnish the legacy of newer characters like Sam Wilson.
If recent reports are to be believed, MCU executives are eyeing the possibility of bringing back old characters, but Chris Evans has already revealed his conditions to return as the beloved Captain America. Now that the MCU is halfway through its Multiverse Saga, brand new characters have been introduced in droves alongside a handful of the older MCU lineup, including Bruce Banner and Thor. To get to this point, many of the original lineup have made the ultimate sacrifice, or, as is the case with Cap, grown old gracefully in a journey that saw him return to the 1940s and get his perfect Steve Rogers ending.
With that being the case, it isn't impossible for Chris Evans' Rogers to return – but as a much older version of the character. If he does, however, there is little to no chance that he would reprise his role as Captain America, thereby snatching glory from his successor, Sam Wilson, before Wilson had a chance to establish his own legacy. Despite this, Marvel is in a crisis, and executives have allegedly discussed bringing back the likes of RDJ's Iron Man and a younger Steve Rogers in an attempt to reinvigorate a languishing MCU. Chris Evans will need to be on board, however, which isn't a sure thing.
