Oh Captain, my Captain! It is easy to neglect however, at one level, Steve Rogers was largely thought-about a B-tier (and even C-tier) Marvel hero that everybody made enjoyable of for dressing up all starry and spangle-y. Quick ahead virtually 15 years after Chris Evans’ debut as Captain America in 2011’s “The First Avenger,” and, nicely, he is now turn out to be the “Break glass in case of emergency” Marvel hero designed to get of us overestimated for “Avengers: Doomsday.” What a journey.
For a bit over per week now, moviegoers who headed out to their native multiplex to see “Avatar: Hearth & Ash” have been handled to a theater-exclusive teaser for “Doomsday,” which positioned our good Captain entrance and heart for the primary time since he sailed off into retirement within the last moments of “Avengers: Endgame.” We have recognized that Evans would return to reprise his function within the subsequent Marvel Cinematic Universe crossover extravaganza for a while now, however understanding is one factor — seeing is sort of one other. Actually, that is most likely why studies of the (very low-quality) teaser leaking all around the web introduced such a buzz. Fortunately, Marvel Studios has lastly determined to launch the official model for all of us to obsess over in pristine 4K.
Sure, Captain America is again and must assist save the day yet again when “Doomsday” arrives. Man, I hope he is getting paid additional time for this. Try the newly-released teaser above!
Captain America will return in Avengers: Doomsday … for higher or worse
Outdated habits die exhausting, however doubly so once you’re the Star Spangled Man with a Plan. After serving to defeat the specter of Thanos in “Avengers: Endgame,” Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers acquired what just about everybody agreed was an ideal ending for the character: a well-deserved happily-ever-after along with his once-dead lover Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) in an alternate timeline (or probably simply the previous of the identical timeline … there was some confusion on that half). Both manner, it was handled like a grand finale and a bittersweet sendoff to the fan-favorite hero. Because of the entire retooling of “Doomsday” that led to Robert Downey Jr.’s return as Physician Doom, nevertheless, all of that’s now going out the window for yet one more nostalgia journey — and we’ve got combined emotions about it.
The “Avengers: Doomsday” teaser tries to play issues on a minor key, revisiting that cozy previous home that we final noticed in “Endgame’ and solely giving us glimpses of Cap as he chugs residence on a bike, wistfully takes his superhero go well with out of a field, and shares a young second along with his (and, presumably, Peggy’s) child. All of it results in the compulsory “Steve Rogers Will Return In ‘Avengers: Doomsday'” title card, adopted by the countdown timer ticking off the minutes till the movie’s launch late subsequent 12 months. It is all very candy and reverent … and it solely makes it really feel like that rather more of a mistake to successfully undo all of the emotional closure we acquired in “Endgame.” However the wheels of commerce should roll onwards, apparently, as “Doomsday” is about to reunite the whole Avengers gang (Chris Hemsworth’s Thor included, in fact), together with the old-school X-Males and just about everybody else, too. No matter it takes, I suppose.
“Avengers: Doomsday” hits theaters December 18, 2026.
