Avengers: Doomsdayis shaping up to be a strange reunion for the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, as after Robert Downey Jr’s casting as Doctor Doom, Chris Evan’s name has now been added to the returning list of Marvel icons. Even though the extent of his role inDoomsdayremains unknown, this hasn’t stopped the rumors from flooding in.
Moreover, per one speculation, similar to RDJ’s Doom, we might see Evans in a villainous role, which hints toward the introduction of Captain Hydra in the multiversal epic.
An unlikely alliance between RDJ and Chris Evans might be in the cards
For theuninitiated, Captain Hydra is an alternate version of Steve Rogers from Earth-61311, who was forcibly converted to Hydra. As the story goes, he ended up cementing his position as the supreme leader of Hydra. When asked about Chris Evans’ potential role inDoomsday, scooper Alex Perez noted that there have been rumors aboutChris Evansbeing pushed into double duty in the highly anticipatedAvengersinstallment.

Aside from a potential Steve Rogers cameo (Endgameversion), another variant of Rogers might team up withRobert Downey Jr‘s Doom, which hints towards the inclusion of Captain Hydra. Perez added (viaThe Cosmic Circus):
One of the rumors I had heard for these films was that a lot of actors might be pulling double duty when it comes to the characters they portray. Evans could be a prime example of that because… I’ve also heard that Evans could be portraying another character in the movie that stands alongside RDJ’s Doctor Doom.
While nothing can’t be said for certain as the film is still over a year away, having RDJ and Evans team up on the other side of the aisle could end up being one of the biggest highlights of the release.
One casting hints towards Steve Rogers’s inclusion inDoomsday
Although it’s yet to be confirmed if Evans will return in the shoes of Captain America or not, another cast confirmation somewhat makes his return almost inevitable. WithHayley Atwellset to return inDoomsday(viaDeadline), it’s important to note that theMission: Impossiblestar will appear as Agent Carter instead of Captain Carter, which adds to the possibility ofold man Rogers‘ appearance.
