Ever since Avengers: Endgame faded to black, speculation instantly started that both Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans could be set for a swift return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which was to be expected when Iron Man and Captain America were always viewed as the heart and soul of the entire shared mythology, playing pivotal roles in almost all of the Infinity Saga’s biggest storylines.
While Downey Jr. has so far stuck to his guns, it was revealed last week that Evans had entered talks to return in at least one future MCU projects, less than two years after Endgame. The actor may have claimed that he doesn’t know anything about it, but we’re more than used to talents associated with the long-running superhero series maintaining the veil of secrecy.
Fans have been surprisingly divided on the news, and there’s no word yet on when or where Steve Rogers could make his grand return, but a new theory is claiming he could suit up to aid the Avengers in their battle against the incoming Kang the Conqueror. We know that Jonathan Majors has been cast as the time traveling villain and will play a major role in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, but he’s surely too big of a threat to be used as a one-and-done bad guy in the MCU’s smallest standalone franchise.
Given Kang’s penchant for wreaking havoc via time travel, the theory goes on to say that Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will journey into the past and re-recruit Steve from one of Endgame‘s many timelines to aid them in the fight. Technically that wouldn’t affect the emotional impact of his last appearance in the slightest, as well as explaining why Captain America isn’t an old man when he next appears, making it well within the realms of possibility.
