The MCU’s Return Of The Most Beloved Avenger Is Destined To Be A Disaster, Fans Won’t Get What They Expect

In response to declining box office receipts and growing public superhero fatigue, Marvel decided to bring out one of the only forces in the universe more powerful than Thanos: nostalgia. We already knew that Robert Downey Jr. would inexplicably return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Dr. Doom, a worthy (if confusing) foe for the Avengers to fight in their next big cinematic showdown. Now, The Wrap reports that Chris Evans will also return in Avengers: Judgment Dayand while fans around the world celebrate, I’m here to warn Marvel fans that this return is bound to disappoint.

Fans are demanding to see Chris Evans return to the MCU (in Avengers: Judgment Day or any other movie) has been growing since the actor appeared in Deadpool and Wolverine. His appearance was something of a bait-and-switch, as fans were excited for Captain America’s return only to discover that Evans was actually reprising his role as Johnny Storm from the Fantastic Four films. The news that Evans will be in the next Avengers movie has fans hungry to see the triumphant return of the real Cap, but I have bad news for those fans. Basically the Chris Evans you see in Avengers: Judgment Day will be anything but the real Cap.

Among hardcore Marvel comics fans, the most likely theory is that Evans will play the Beyonder, a powerful cosmic entity who will take on the familiar face of Captain America. This is exactly what happened in the 1985 comic series. Secret Wars IIin which the Beyonder came to Earth and decided to look like Cap. Considering that the film will lead directly to Avengers: Secret WarsIt’s a pretty safe bet that Chris Evans will play a Beyonder who simply looks like Captain America in Avengers: Judgment Day.

However, let’s just say that fan speculation is wrong and the beloved actor is not playing the Beyonder in the upcoming Avengers movie. In that case, we’ll probably get a more controversial incarnation of the character: Hydra Cap, a strange character created in the wake of 2015. secret wars comic event. As the name implies, this is an evil version of Cap who works for Hydra, and while this character’s story was extremely controversial for comic book fans, I wouldn’t leave out the Russo Brothers to troll fans by bring Hydra Cap to the big screen. .

It’s possible that Marvel executives will find some secret third character for Chris Evans to play. Avengers: Judgment Daybut I’d bet every diploma in Reed Richard’s office that the MCU legend will play Beyonder or Hydra Cap. Why am I so convinced he won’t play the real Captain America? Besides the fact that Cap was an old man at the end of end of the gameIt would just be bad writing and marketing to bring back the “real” Cap almost right after the debut of Sam Wilson’s first film as Captain America (a film whose cursed production schedule means it already needs all the help it can get).

I am sure that Chris Evans will act with all his heart in Avengers: Judgment Day No matter what… after all, playing Johnny Storm and not Cap didn’t stop him from giving a hilariously vulgar performance in Deadpool and Wolverine. However, I’m here to remind nostalgic fans to temper their expectations heading into this film, as Evans will inevitably be playing a very different character just like Robert Downey Jr. And once Marvel fails to deliver what the collective nostalgia everyone really cries out for, the result may be the kind of box office disaster that makes the wonders It looks like a cinematic masterpiece.
