When Chris Evans will be next seen in Marvel Cinematic Universe? Actor reveals

by
Chris Evans
  • Chris Evans dismissed speculation about his return to the MCU.
  • Evans refuted the claims, stating, “That’s not true, though.”
  • Evans first appeared as Steve Rogers/Captain America.

Chris Evans has dismissed speculation about his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in Avengers: Doomsday, despite previous reports confirming his involvement.

In an interview with Esquire for a cover story on Anthony Mackie, Evans refuted the claims, stating, “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!”

Evans first appeared as Steve Rogers/Captain America in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) and played the role across multiple films before officially retiring from the character after Avengers: Endgame (2019).

His longtime co-star, Anthony Mackie, who plays Sam Wilson/Falcon, now carries the Captain America mantle. Mackie’s Captain America: Brave New World is set to release on February 14, 2025.

When asked about Evans’ potential return, Mackie admitted he had no idea, saying, “I didn’t know! I talked to Chris a few weeks ago and it wasn’t on the table then.” He added, “I was like, ‘You know, they said they’re bringing everyone back for the movie. Are you coming back?’ He goes, ‘Oh, you know, I’m happily retired.’”

Directed by the Russo brothers, Avengers: Doomsday is set to release on May 1, 2026, and will feature Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom.

Who is Caroline Kennedy? All About voice against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

by
Caroline Kennedy

Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, has recently stirred public attention by openly opposing her cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Known for her reserved nature when it comes to family matters, Kennedy’s decision to take such a public stance against her cousin is rare and noteworthy. As someone who has spent her life involved in public service, this move has added a new layer to her legacy.

Strong Public Statement of Caroline Kennedy

In a letter addressed to U.S. senators, Caroline Kennedy sharply criticized her cousin, calling him a “predator” and urging lawmakers to reject his nomination. She emphasized that the department required a leader who would support scientific progress, stating, “They deserve better than Bobby Kennedy — and so do the rest of us.” Kennedy’s letter revealed her conviction that the Department of Health and Human Services should be led by someone with strong ethical standards and a commitment to advancing healthcare.

Early Years of Caroline Kennedy

Born on November 27, 1957, Caroline was thrust into the public eye early in her life. As the daughter of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, she became a symbol of resilience following her father’s tragic assassination. Growing up in the White House, she faced a life of unimaginable loss, yet she has continually honored her family’s commitment to public service. As the oldest surviving member of the Kennedy family, Caroline has always maintained her role as a caretaker of her family’s legacy.

Career in Public Service

Caroline Kennedy has spent much of her adult life in various public service roles. She helped establish the Profile in Courage Award and has written books on various topics, including privacy rights. Throughout her career, she has served as the U.S. ambassador to both Japan and Australia, making significant diplomatic contributions. Caroline has long been admired for her commitment to public service, focusing on causes that align with the values her father and family upheld.

Kennedy Family Dynamics

Although Caroline’s decision to publicly oppose Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is surprising, it underscores the complexities of the Kennedy family dynamic. The Kennedys have always been a political powerhouse, with strong personalities and differing views. Caroline’s stance shows that despite the shared history, she is willing to take a bold stand when it comes to what she believes is right, further reinforcing her legacy of integrity and dedication to progress.

Akram warned against chasing views at the cost of quality and ethics, stating, “An obsession with views often leads to frivolous actions in an attempt to go viral.” He encouraged creators to focus on showcasing their talents and ideas, reminding them that “true talent and dedication will ultimately pave the way for success.”
