HE Is Back in Avengers: Doomsday and Marvel’s Playing the Hits Again

Spoiler warning up top: Frank reacts to the Avengers: Doomsday teaser that’s currently playing in theaters and the big headline that comes with it, Chris Evans returning as Steve Rogers. The hype is real, but the conversation gets complicated fast, especially when you zoom out and ask what this says about Marvel’s confidence in the post Endgame era. Frank also unpacks the idea (and the risk) of Doomsday being framed as a direct sequel to Endgame, and what a “soft reboot” after Secret Wars could mean for the MCU’s future.

  • 00:00:00 Spoiler warning and initial reaction to the Avengers: Doomsday teaser and Chris Evans returning

  • 00:00:16 The excitement vs. the bigger worry: what this says about Marvel after Endgame

  • 00:00:32 Russo Brothers calling Doomsday a direct Endgame sequel and what gets left behind

  • 00:00:46 “Soft reboot” talk after Secret Wars and how Marvel rebuilds trust going forward

  • 00:01:14 Does this undercut Sam Wilson and the newer era of the MCU?

  • 00:01:56 Listener comments requested for the next episode

  • Chris Evans returning as Steve Rogers hits hard emotionally for a lot of fans.

  • The bigger concern is what this signals about Marvel’s confidence in newer characters and newer phases.

  • Positioning Doomsday as a direct sequel to Endgame raises questions about how much of Phase 4 and 5 will matter.

  • The “soft reboot after Secret Wars” idea makes comic sense, but it also feels like Marvel resetting the board to safer territory.

  • There’s a real tension between hardcore fan concerns and what mainstream audiences will likely love without overthinking it.

  • If Steve comes back, it opens a big conversation about legacy, leadership, and whether Sam Wilson gets pushed aside.

  • “Hell yeah, Chris Evans is back as Steve Rogers.”

  • “This means that basically Marvel doesn’t trust anything they put out after Endgame.”

  • “It’s not like Steve Rogers doesn’t always come back in the comic books.”
