Chris Evans is Back As Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday

Marvel has spent years insisting the Steve Rogers chapter is done, thank you very much. And now...it isn't. Reporting around the first Avengers: Doomsday teaser says it confirms Chris Evans is returning as Steve Rogers, with the clip reportedly screening cinemas before it leaked online and started getting scrubbed.

What’s actually confirmed (and by who)

Chris Evans returning isn’t just fan-fiction this time.

• Entertainment Weekly reports Evans is officially returning to the MCU in Avengers: Doomsday as Steve Rogers.
• The same report ties the “confirmation” to a teaser that was meant to be seen in cinemas before it leaked.
• Multiple reports also repeat the film’s release date as 18 December 2026.

This matters because Marvel news lives on a spectrum: from “Kevin Feige said it on stage” to “a guy on Reddit swears his cousin works at ILM”. This sits closer to the serious end, because it’s being treated as a studio reveal via an official teaser rollout — just one that didn’t stay in the cinema.

The leaked teaser situation (and why it feels ‘real’)

If you saw clips floating around, you weren’t imagining it — and Marvel wasn’t ignoring it.

• GamesRadar reports Marvel has been wiping the leaked teaser from the internet via takedowns.
• That same report notes some uncertainty around leaks in general, but points out the aggressive removal as a sign it’s not random fan-made content.
• Entertainment Weekly frames the leak as coming from an in-theatre-only teaser.

In plain English: studios don’t go full whack-a-mole for fun. If it was obviously fake, they’d usually let it die in a corner of the internet with the rest of the “my uncle works at Nintendo” posts.

How Steve Rogers can be back without breaking everything

The MCU loves a loophole. This is another one.

• Entertainment Weekly says Doomsday will play with time and reality, with characters colliding across the multiverse.
• That gives Marvel an “easy” way to bring Steve Rogers back without pretending Endgame didn’t happen. E

Also worth keeping your head on straight: Steve Rogers returning doesn’t automatically mean he’s “the” Captain America again in the present-day MCU. Sam Wilson being Captain America is already established in MCU releases (and even Disney+ listings aimed at viewers).

When you can actually watch something officially

Right now, the key detail is where this teaser was intended to be seen.

• Entertainment Weekly links the teaser plan to cinema screenings, tied to Avatar: Fire and Ash.
• GamesRadar also reports the teaser was screening in cinemas ahead of that film, before leaks spread online.

For UAE readers: if it’s a cinema-only attach, it’s the usual story — some cinemas get it, some don’t, and the internet finds out either way. Until Marvel uploads something publicly, assume you’ll only “officially” see it in a theatre.
