Leaked Avengers: Doomsday teaser shows Chris Evans back as Steve Rogers

A clip, reportedly from the latest leaked teaser for the Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, shows Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers in what appears to be a timeline set in the distant past, as teased in Avengers: Endgame. The clip, reportedly part of the Avengers: Doomsday teaser, shows Evans’ character approaching a building on a bike, getting into it, going through his Captain America suit and holding a baby. There are also leaked pictures showing Rogers with the baby and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). The clip ends with a piece of text, saying, “Steve Rogers will return in Avengers: Doomsday.” If the reports about the Avengers: Doomsday teaser are true, it would show Evans' recent denial of his involvement in the film as a case of him double bluffing. Recently, the actor told Empire that he is “happily retired” from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, MCU stars are known for denying early reports about their involvement in the franchise films, only for the rumours to turn out to be true. Andrew Garfield, for example, denied the speculation about his role in Spider-Man: No Way Home multiple times.

Avengers: Endgame ends with Evans’ character passing on the mantle of being Captain America to Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson. In the recent Captain America film, too, Mackie played the titular role. However, Rogers coming back to the next instalment in the Avengers franchise might or might not mean Evans returning as Captain America as well, especially given the presence of the alternate timeline that the teaser hints at. 

This is the second biggest upcoming release whose promotional material has leaked online. Earlier, a clip from Christopher Nolan's upcoming film The Odyssey also surfaced prematurely on the internet. 

As reported earlier, Robert Downey Jr is coming back to the MCU as Doctor Doom, also known as Victor von Doom, with Avengers: Doomsday. The film is scheduled for a May 01, 2026, release.
