Chris Evans Confirms Captain America Returns for Secret Wars

Cap is coming home. Chris Evans appears to have confirmed what a lot of us already suspected, that Steve Rogers is suiting up again for the next chapter of the Avengers saga. The confirmation did not come from a press release or a Marvel panel. It came from a personalized anniversary video that surfaced through Instagram user Jessica Zebrowski, who goes by Comic-Con Mom, in which Evans casually mentions he starts work on the next one in a couple of months. For a return this big, it is a wonderfully low-key way to drop the news.

In this episode we break down what Evans actually said, how it lines up with the assumption that Steve Rogers survives Doomsday, and why Secret Wars is shaping up to be an Endgame-style reunion that pulls every corner of the MCU back into frame. We also get into the likely scale of his role, why the heavy lifters of Doomsday may step back for Secret Wars, and which characters, from X-Men and Deadpool to the Disney Plus crowd like Moon Knight, could be set up to carry the franchise forward.
