Although there is still a year and a half until its premiere, Marvel Studios continues working on pre-production of Avengers: Doomsdayone of the most anticipated films of 2026, which promises to bring back iconic characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Chris Evans has been the last to be confirmed, but Marvel has not wasted time, since Cap has not come alone.
According to the American portal DeadlineMarvel Studios will once again have Hayley Atwellwho will reprise her role as the agent Peggy Carter in Avengers: Doomsday. However, it has not yet been confirmed whether he will play the original MCU version or a variant from another universe.
The return of Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter has been in consideration for some time. In 2021, an independent Steve Rogers film outside the MCU was considered, but the project was scrapped. Now, Marvel seems to have found a suitable narrative to bring both characters together again on the big screen.
It remains to be seen what Chris Evans' exact role will be in the plot. Three main possibilities are considered: an appearance in flashbacks, the introduction of alternative versions of another universe or the representation of both characters in their current version of the MCU, as old men, playing more secondary roles as mentors. Avengers: Doomsday will hit theaters worldwide in May 2026.
