Marvel fans are refusing to believe Chris Evans when he shared that he is happily retired from the MCU. Recent reports suggested that Evans, like Robert Downey Jr., is set to make a comeback inAvengers: Doomsday. Evans’ retirement comment is just hard to believe after the stunts Marvel actors like Andrew Garfield pulled in the past to keep their cameo roles a secret.
Fans also have another reason to believe that Evans is not telling the truth. The so-called ‘happily retired’ actor returned for a cameo in Ryan Reynolds’Deadpool & Wolverinelast year. Some fans speculate that he might be telling a half-truth as his appearance might actually happen inAvengers: Secret Warsrather thanDoomsday.
Fans are not ready to trust Chris Evans on his Marvel retirement update
According toDeadline‘s report,Chris Evanswas approached for a role inAvengers: Doomsdaywhich he reportedly accepted. Fans celebrated this news, even though neither Evans nor Marvel confirmed it. When Anthony Mackie did a profile interview forEsquire, he was asked about Evans’ return to the Marvel universe.

Mackie shared that he had asked theFantastic Fouractor personally whether he was coming back. However, Mackie shared that Evans dismissed the rumor. He shared,“He goes, ‘Oh, you know, I’m happily retired.’”This was before the Deadline report and Mackie honestly didn’t know if there was any truth to it.
However, Esquire reported that they reached out to Evans afterAnthony Mackie‘s comment. However,Evans contradicted the Deadline articleand shared that he was happily retired from his Captain America role. He shared with Esquire:
That’s not true, though. This always happens. I mean, it happens every couple years—ever since Endgame. I’ve just stopped responding to it. […] Yeah, no—happily retired!
However, fans aren’t ready to believe the actor. They pointed out how Evans acted inDeadpool & Wolverinejust last year. Others speculated that he might’ve only dismissed the rumor of appearing inDoomsday, adding that he could still appear inSecret Wars. Fans also commented that Evans shouldn’t be trusted based on recent Marvel trends. Some of the fan reactions read:
“happily retired”you were in a marvel movie last year bro😭https://t.co/ViqLYHCXBD
He didn’t say secret wars tho lol
“I’m happily retired” shows up in a Marvel film not even a year ago.
“Yeah, no… happily retired!”Yeah until that money start running dry then he’ll be back
Yeah, no… based on recent Marvel movie trends don’t believe you.
Nothing anyone says about these movies should be taken at face value
Earlier, a video from the sets ofThe Fantastic Four: First Stepswent viral, showing a crew member bringing an actor onto the film set in Spain while covering him in a jacket.Many fans speculated that it was Evans, sharing that he could be playing an alternate-universe Human Torch in the film.
Chris Evans may have pulled an Andrew Garfield move
Chris Evans’ comment on his Marvel retirement almost reminds fans ofAndrew Garfield‘s comments beforeSpider-Man: No Way Home. Garfield went to extreme lengths to keep his role in the film a secret. He had to lie more than once during the interviews at that time.
During an interview on theHappy Sad Confusedpodcast, Garfield recalled an encounter with a delivery boy, who almost exposed his secret role inNo Way Home. Garfield shared that he had to keep the guy from recognizing him so that his secret role wasn’t revealed. The guy later went on to social media and posted that Garfield was rude to him.
The Only Logical Marvel Role Chris Evans Should Be Playing in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’
TheWe Live in Timeactor even kept it a secret when Emma Stone asked him about it. He maintained that he wasn’t in the movie even when she insisted and she finally believed him. When she saw the film, she had the obvious response to him,“You’re a j*rk.”
Much like Evans, fans didn’t believe Garfield when he provided an update onSpider-Man 4. WhenGQasked about his role in the upcoming film, Garfield replied,“I’m gonna disappoint you.”However, he understands thatfans will not trust himafter the last time. He shared,“But I know no one’s gonna trust anything I say from now on.”
Avengers: Doomsdayis expected to come out on June 29, 2025, whileAvengers: Secret Wars‘ expected release date is August 12, 2025.
