However, details about his character remain uncertain, especially since (spoiler alert!) by the end of 2019’s ‘Avengers: Endgame’, Cap had aged and passed on the iconic shield to Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson. This summer, Evans made a brief but memorable return in the billion-dollar hit ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ as Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, a character he portrayed in Fox’s 2005 and 2007 ‘Fantastic Four’ films.
While plot specifics for Doomsday are still under wraps, it's confirmed that Robert Downey Jr. will be involved as well—though not reprising his legendary role as Iron Man, he will portray Doctor Victor von Doom, the lead antagonist for the ‘Fantastic Four’. Joe and Anthony Russo are set to direct both Doomsday and the 2027 film ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’, which will wrap up the MCU's Multiverse Saga. The Russo brothers have hinted that these films will be interconnected, reminiscent of the two-part narrative of 2018’s ‘Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame’, both of which showcased a star-studded roster of Avengers.
Given this multiverse-driven storyline, it's reasonable to expect that an array of A-list superheroes will join Downey and Evans in these upcoming films, possibly appearing as various iterations of their characters or entirely new ones. ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is set to premiere on May 1, 2026, followed by Secret Wars, which is slated for May 7, 2027.
