Marvel Studios has confirmed the return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the release of the first teaser for Avengers: Doomsday, ending days of speculation sparked by leaked footage.
The teaser takes a reflective tone, showing Steve Rogers riding his motorcycle home as a soft piano version of the Avengers theme plays. Instead of action-heavy scenes, the preview focuses on memory and nostalgia, with Rogers seen unpacking his old Captain America suit, suggesting a past life he once left behind.
One of the most notable moments in the teaser features Rogers holding a newborn baby, reinforcing the idea that he chose a different life after the events of Avengers: Endgame. The teaser ends with a clear confirmation of his return in Avengers: Doomsday.
Steve Rogers was last seen stepping away from the role of Captain America after passing the shield to Sam Wilson and choosing to remain in the past with Peggy Carter. His reappearance signals a new chapter in the MCU, challenging the sense of finality surrounding his earlier departure.
Marvel has indicated that Doctor Doom will be the main antagonist, with the storyline expected to span multiple timelines and universes. The film will also feature several familiar MCU characters, including Chris Hemsworth.
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for global release on December 18, 2026.
