After Robert Downey Jr., Marvel Brings Chris Evans On Board 'Avengers: Doomsday'

Los Angeles, December 10 - Marvel Studios is re-assembling its OG superheroes for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday after seemingly closing that chapter in the last Avengers film - Avengers: Endgame, back in 2019. ## After officially confirming Robert Downey Jr.'s big Marvel comeback, this time as a villain, to play Doctor Doom in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday (2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (2027), Hollywood media has reported that Chris Evans who played Captain America, is also returning to the MCU. ## According to the report by Deadline, the role of Evans isn't entirely clear at this point but he in the Captain America costume seems less likely. However, the report states it wouldn't be a shock if he reprises that iconic role as Steve Rogers though Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson character will also return as Captain America. ## It is not that Evans hasn't featured in the MCU title after Endgame, the actor recently had a cameo in the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all-time, the MCU's Deadpool & Wolverine, as his character from the Fox/Marvel early aughts days, which are also pre-Captain America: Johnny Storm from the Fantastic Four movies.## Deadline has also reported that apart from Downey Jr., and Evans, many other Marvel OG superheroes are expected to return for Doomsday. Benedict Cumberbatch has already confirmed his appearance as Doctor Strange in this highly anticipated blockbuster while it is also being speculated that Tom Holland would feature in the film. ## The shoot of Doomsday will kick off next year as the movie is scheduled to hit the big screen on May 1st, 2026.

The Undertaker appeared and chokeslammed The Rock, creating a huge moment at WrestleMania. ## With now, Cody Rhodes now holding the WWE Championship, Cena predicts that he will be the greatest of all time in the coming year. On The Pat McAfee Show, John Cena stated the following about Rhodes. ## "So, in the biggest event of the year, with our most important prize on the line, I am just an advocate for a fair chance, okay? You know I'm a huge fan of Cody Rhodes, but you also know I'm a huge fan of Roman Reigns. I believe Roman Reigns is the greatest of all time. Okay, again, what's great about WWE is you can have your opinion and you can voice yours, and I think that's fantastic. Will Cody Rhodes be the greatest of all time? He's put himself in a good position.## So, going back to what I said about Roman Reigns, that doesn't mean that Cody Rhodes cannot be the greatest of all time. I just want people to understand that I think what's been done so far, you have to put Roman Reigns in that slot, but Cody's story... Cody's story starts, you know? The whole theme of WrestleMania was finishing the story. His story starts today. I told him in the ring last night, and I'm sure he'll be able to relay this same message. ## When I got to embrace him, he had the championship in his right hand, and I said, "Do you feel that?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Do you feel how heavy it is?" He said, "Yes." I said, "It will get heavier every day." Oh, that's deep because that is the burden you bear of trying to craft the path to being the greatest of all time. I hope... I hope, and this should be the goal for the business, every performer should pass the torch up. So, I hope a year from now, two years from now, three years from now, we can all sit here and be advocates that Cody Rhodes is the greatest of all time because that's the way it should work." ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
