How Captain America Can Return To The MCU Explained

Chris Evans is set to return as Captain America in a future MCU movie or show, but just how could this happen after Steve Rogers’ sendoff in Avengers: Endgame? On January 14, 2021, it was reported that Evans was in talks to return as Captain America, although at the time of writing any further details about how or when are being kept under wraps. While anything right now is speculative, there are a few different ways for Captain America’s come back to happen.

Having started his MCU journey back in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger, Evans’ time in the MCU came to an end with 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. Having defeated Thanos, Steve went back through time, returning each Infinity Stone to its rightful place in order to put the close the timelines created by removing them. Rather than simply come back to the present, however, he decided to stay in the past, finally getting his dance with Peggy Carter, before returning as an old Steve Rogers to give Sam Wilson, aka Falcon, his shield.

Whether Steve married Peggy in the main MCU timeline or one of the branched realities created in Endgame remains a point of debate (even between the film’s directors and writers), but either way there are options on the table for Marvel.
