The climax of Avengers: Endgame seemingly saw Captain America ride off into the sunset, ing on the iconic shield to Sam Wilson after traveling back in time the actor was officially done with the Marvel Cinematic Universe for good.
However, in the realm of comic book movies, returns for departed characters can never truly be ruled out. It just so happens that the first Disney Plus show set in the MCU is that Evans’ Old Cap was set to make a cameo in the series, possibly to bookend the six-episode run or perhaps turn up for a scene or two to publicly endorse his successor.
In a recent interview to promote Rian Johnson’s Knives Out, Evans was asked flat-out if he would be returning to the MCU in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and while he didn’t exactly seem keen on the prospect of going back to the well so soon after Endgame, he didn’t completely rule out the idea, either.
“Probably not. There were a million ways that tenure with Marvel could have gone wrong and it didn’t, so to stick the landing so well, it would be shame to kind of revisit unless there was something unique that we felt the need to reveal. For now, it just feels like ‘Let’s be content with how well it ended’.”
While Evans would no doubt take an awful lot of convincing to play Steve Rogers again, even if it was only for a cameo role under heavy old-age makeup, he did it that he would consider it if there was a valid, story-driven reason for him to appear. much the same way Tony Stark heavily factored into Spider-Man: Far From Home, despite being dead.
