The first teaser for \"Avengers: Doomsday\" confirmed Chris Evans' participation in the project, but it seems Steve Rogers is not looking to reclaim the title of Captain America.
Marvel Studios has unveiled the first teaser for \"Avengers: Doomsday,\" currently being shown exclusively in theaters. The trailer is entirely dedicated to Chris Evans' return to the role of Steve Rogers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The teaser shows Rogers returning to the house where he lived with Peggy Carter after the events of \"Avengers: Endgame.\" He examines his old suit, followed by a scene in which the hero holds a baby, directly indicating that Steve has a child. The trailer concludes with the title card: \"Steve Rogers will return in 'Avengers: Doomsday'.\"
The wording of the title card is noteworthy because it uses the character's name, not his superhero alias. Marvel Studios is thereby emphasizing once again that Rogers is no longer Captain America. This status was passed on to Sam Wilson in the finale of \"Avengers: Endgame\" and cemented in subsequent projects, including the series \"The Falcon and the Winter Soldier\" and the film \"Captain America: Brave New World.\"
Rumors previously surfaced that Chris Evans would return to the MCU not as Captain America. In particular, insiders suggested that the character might appear as Nomad — an alternative identity of Rogers. However, this is just one version for now.
Over the next month, Marvel will release three more teasers that may confirm or deny previous leaks. The studio plans to show one trailer per week before major premieres, including \"Avatar: Ashes of Fire.\"
The premiere of \"Avengers: Doomsday\" is scheduled for December 18, 2026.
