Chris Evans has responded to the recent report that he's returning for Avengers: Doomsday, either as Steve Rogers/ Captain America or another character. An article from Deadline in December "confirmed" that the actor had signed on for Marvel's next big team-up film, due out next year.

In Anthony Mackie’s new cover story for Esquire, Chris Evans revealed he told his Marvel co-star that he was the next Captain America in the MCU. “I inadvertently was the one who got to tell him that he was going to be Captain America. I didn’t know that he didn’t know,” Evans, 43, said in the story published Thursday.
