Chris Evans set to return as Captain America in the MCU

Shocking news has been reported by Deadline tonight that Chris Evans has almost finalised his return as Captain America for future projects in the MCU. It has been reported that he will not have any more solo films but will appear as a supporting character in other projects and here are my thoughts on this huge news. 

Will be from another Multiverse

It seemed in Avengers: Endgame that we saw the end for Captain America as his story had a great and natural ending and I think that will stick here. We have seen with the Spider-Man 3 and Doctor Strange 2 reports that the MCU is heading towards the multiverse and I believe this is how we will see Captain America. A new Captain America has plenty of possibilities especially where he could turn up in future projects. 

Could we see old Steve Rogers in Falcon & Winter Soldier?

It seems unlikely but could this report mean Evans could film a cameo as old man Cap for Falcon & Winter Soldier. It is clear that Cap's legacy will play a huge part in that show and seeing him come back could provide another interesting wrinkle in the show. 

Could we see evil Captain America?

A few years ago a controversial comic run happened where an alternate version of Captain America became a huge villain and the leader of Hydra, this was even referenced in Endgame. Now could they go full on with this, could an alternate evil Cap be a big Avengers Villain, I mean it would be controversial but maybe a risk Marvel are willing to take with their stock being so high. 

Could he return to teach a new group of Avengers

It was confirmed that a new Avengers film will be coming at some point, with the majority of the original Avengers doing their own thing could we see Steve Rogers come in and teach these new Avengers. Especially if some of them are the young Avengers such as Ms Marvel & Kate Bishop. 

Overall

Overall, I am actually not a big fan of this news. I was really satisfied by his ending in Avengers: Endgame and I don't want to see that ruined here. I have enough faith in Marvel Studios though that they must have a clear plan and hopefully they do something special for the character.
