Chris Evans’ stint in the Marvel Cinematic Universe apparently ended after his character, Steve Rogers, chose to stay back in time inAvengers: Endgame. After faithfully playing Captain America for more than a decade in the MCU, the film provided a befitting conclusion to his character and his time in the superhero universe.
However, it was a pleasant surprise when he turned up for a cameo in the blockbusterDeadpool & Wolverineas Johnny Strom, aka his first-ever Marvel role. And as per reports, given he is slated to return inAvengers 5, his time as Human Torch might not be over now.
Chris Evans might end up playing Human Torch again
Chris Evansis one the most top-tier Marvel actors of all time and has been a fan favorite of Marvel fans for years. Not only did he end up perfectly embodying the character of Captain America but he also left behind a legacy that is hard to fulfil for any actor.
“Johnny Storm I feel didn’t really get his day”: Chris Evans Did Say He Will Come Back as Human Torch Before He Considers Captain America’s Return
While we all would love to see him come back as the soldier in stripes and blue, it is unlikely that he would return unless it is in some alternate version of the character. Meanwhile, fans were delighted to see Evans back in the MCU when he turned up for a cameo as Johnny Storm aka Human Torch inRyan Reynolds‘ R-rated multiverse odysseyDeadpool & Wolverine.
Unfortunately, his feat in the film was short-lived for he was soon skinned to bones by Charles Xavier’s blood-thirsty sister Cassandra Nova. Yet, it seems his feat in the MCU as Human Torch might not be over for he might allegedly return as the character in the upcomingAvengers: Doomsday.
Chris Evans might end up playing Johnny Storm again in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Ever sinceThe Wrapconfirmed that OGAvengersstar Chris Evans is coming back to the superhero verse in the upcoming, anticipated to-be-a blockbusterAvengers: Doomsday, speculations have been raging on regarding his role. Recently, industry insider Jeff Sneider stated onThe Hot Micthat Evansmight be taking up the identity of Nomad in the film.

However, industry insider Alex Perez, while in a Discord Q&A withThe Cosmic Circushad another answer to give. Perez said when asked about which Evans’ undisclosed role,
It’s looking preemptively like it’ll be the Captain America that went on to live happily ever after with Peggy, but I heard rumors that his stint as Johnny Storm isn’t necessarily over.
The prospect of seeing Evans as Nomad and Johnny Storm is equally exciting for fans. But whatever character the actor ends up playing, one thing is for certain, the character would be an alternate reality version since Evans’ Captain America might have long passed away in the MCU and we all saw the fate of Johnny Storm inDeadpool & Wolverine.
However, these are all rumors and speculations since nothing has been officially confirmed by the actor or Marvel Studios.
Avengers 5orAvengers: Doomsdayis expected to be released on Jul 23, 2025.
