First teaser confirms it: Chris Evans returns as Steve Rogers

Exactly one year out from release, the first Avengers: Doomsday teaser arrived - attached to Avatar: Fire and Ash on December 18, 2025 - and it answered a rumour that had swirled for a year: Chris Evans is back as Steve Rogers.

Crucially, this isn’t the star-spangled soldier fans remember. The teaser picks up Steve’s Endgame ending - the man who travelled back in time to live a full life - now older, and with a family. It’s Steve Rogers as you’ve never seen him: retired, greying, and about to be dragged back into a war.

Reintroducing a beloved hero with a quiet, happy life is a classic setup for heartbreak. We dig into what it likely means in will Captain America die? - and no, Iron Man isn’t coming back with him.

It was the first of several character teasers rolling out across the winter, each unveiling another returning face.
