Overview
- Video posted by Instagram user @comicconmomsi on Monday shows Chris Evans saying he will “start work on the next one in a couple of months,” which outlets treated as a direct confirmation that he will appear in Avengers: Secret Wars.
- The June video settles questions about a March audio clip that had suggested the same return, with multiple outlets reporting the two items as corroborating evidence.
- Industry reporting places Secret Wars filming this summer, which matches Evans’s comment about when he will begin work and makes it more likely he was referring to the 2027 crossover rather than the already-shot Doomsday.
- Fans reacted strongly online, with many saying the confirmation undermines the suspense of December’s Avengers: Doomsday while others note Marvel’s multiverse and variant storytelling could preserve narrative stakes.
- Other casting scoops in circulation — including an insider claim that Sadie Sink will play Jean Grey and reports that Robert Downey Jr. will portray Doctor Doom — remain unverified and depend on future official studio announcements.
