O! Reports doth spread like wildfire of the esteemed Chris Evans, a veteran of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, mayhap joining the esteemed cast of Avengers: Doomsday. Speculation abound, whispering of Evans taking on the mantle of Captain Hydra. If thou art not versed in the annals of Marvel Comics, fear not, for we shall elucidate the Captain Hydra Avengers: Doomsday fan theory below!
What Is the Avengers: Doomsday Captain Hydra Fan Theory?
Lo and behold, the Captain Hydra theory, flourishing upon the digital realms of Reddit, doth hinge upon a pivotal assumption. Should Chris Evans grace the silver screen in Avengers: Doomsday, he shall not don again the garb of his original Steve Rogers/Captain America persona. Verily, there exist real-world evidence to support such a notion; Evans hath expressed concerns that revisiting this role would diminish his initial portrayal as Cap. Therefore, one doth speculate that Evans might portray an alternate version of Rogers from a divergent universe, or even assume a different character altogether (as he did in his cameo as Johnny Storm/Human Torch in Deadpool & Wolverine). Thus enters: Captain Hydra.
That’s the non-canon moniker many aficionados employ for the Steve Rogers of Earth-61311, a malevolent iteration of Captain America within the comic book sagas. A Hydra sleeper agent, he masquerades as the mainstream, Earth-616 Steve during the tumultuous Secret Empire crossover event of 2017 and its assorted counterparts. Captain Hydra – known formally as Hydra Supreme – doth clash with his heroic counterpart and meets defeat. Ere his downfall, however, he doth leave an indelible mark upon many a fan (forsooth, the sight of Steve garbed in Hydra-themed vestments is no trifling matter), hence the widespread conjecture of his appearance in Doomsday.
Is Chris Evans Officially Confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday?
Nay, dear readers, Chris Evans doth not have his place secured to portray Captain America, Captain Hydra, or any other denizen of Avengers: Doomsday at present. What is more, the luminary hath refuted claims of his involvement in the fifth Avengers installment. According to Evans, he hath retired from the MCU in contentment. Yet perchance he doth dissemble; oftentimes actors must fabricate tales to safeguard the veiled secrets of Marvel Studios. Let us then await the approach of Avengers: Doomsday’s grand premiere in 2026 to uncover the truth!
Avengers: Doomsday arrives in cinemas on May 1, 2026.
