Chris Evans has officially joined the cast of Avengers: Doomsday, though we still don’t know who he’ll play. Captain America seems the obvious suggestion but with the Multiverse at play, that’s not guaranteed.
Hayley Atwell is also set to appear in the movie, leaving many fans convinced that they’ll be plucked out of that “happy ending” timeline we saw at the end of Avengers: Endgame to help protect the Multiverse.
While that’s a compelling possibility, there’s also been some chatter about Evans’ character being allied with Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom. Now, @MyTimeToShineH brings word that we’re getting “HydraCap” in the next Avengers movie.
While this is just a rumour for now, it makes sense on several levels. For starters, bringing Evans back as the heroic Captain America would somewhat overshadow Sam Wilson, a character who will be cemented as the new Cap in next month’s Captain America: Brave New World.
