Naturally, since the confirmation of Evans’ return, many are curious to know whether he will be reprising his shield-wielding role or will yet again play another Marvel character, like his co-star Downey. So, while there is only one OGAvengersstar not expected to return, here is the character Evans will be playing in thebigger-than-Endgamefilm.
Chris Evans’ character inAvengers 5revealed
After announcing the grand return ofRobert Downey Jr.as Doctor Doom, Marvel confirmed that another OG star,Chris Evanswill be returning to the superhero verse as well (viaThe Wrap). After exiting as Steve Rogers in 2019’s blockbusterAvengers: Endgameand a brief cameo inDeadpool & Wolverineas Human Torch, Evans will be back inAvengers:Doomsday.
And according to the latest updates he will not be reprising his fan-favorite Captain America role but will be playing a different character altogether. The industry insider Jeff Sneider revealed, while onThe Hot Micwith John Rocha, that the actor is reportedly taking on the mantle of Nomad inAvengers 5.

Nomad is the alternate identity of Steve Rogers, which he assumes after abandoning his Captain America mantle after his trust in the government and America is destroyed. Many fans believed Rogers was playing Nomad inInfinity War, butJoe Russoconfirmed that was not the case in an interview withLRM Online.
But since there have been different versions of Nomad in the Marvel comics, there are chances that Evans might be an alternate version of the character that fans know from the comics or not know at all.
Only one OG star is not expected to return inAvengers: Doomsday
Avengers: Doomsdayis sure to bring a lot of old faces back to the silver screen. After confirming the return of Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and Chris Evans, potentially as Nomad, there is a high chance that old stars like Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, and more will also reprise their roles.
However, there has been no news of one OGAvengersstar,Scarlett Johansson, whose character died inEndgameafter sacrificing herself for the Soul stone on the planet Vormir. There might be a possibility that she is the only star who will not be coming back since there has been no news of her return whatsoever and the actress has been pretty busy taking on new roles and exploring new ventures.

But since it would be a big miss for her to not return given how almost every OG actor is expected to come back, there is still a chance that she might be open to returning. As forDoomsday, given how Evans had previously stated that he would not want to destroy the legacy of Steve Rogers by coming back, it must be a highly interesting and intriguing script that made him say yes. So Johansson might not want to miss that.
Avengers 5 orAvengers: Doomsdayis expected to be released on August 16, 2025.
