If we get Chris Evans back as Steve Rogers, he needs to be Old Man Rogers

A time back in the comics a few years ago, there was a period where, effectively, Captain America lost his power, and became the age he should have been if he wasn't frozen in the ice. He was, quite literally, old man Rogers. He became the head of Shield, and still managed to kick some ass, even as an old man.

As far as we know, Steve Rogers. Our Steve Rogers. Is still alive in the 616 Universe, and technically, he still has his super strength and stamina. He's now just an old man. I actually think it'd be cool to not do some Multiverse twist on Rogers, but to maybe have it be a thing like our current Avengers face a very serious moral quandary. Not really being able to agree on what to do, Sam turns round and says "I think I know who might be able to help"

Steve was always solid at making the "right" choice, even if it seemed completely against impossible odds, or it was against all of those who he respected. So maybe asking him what he thought about the morality of obliterating a universe to save their own would be a nice way to bring him into the fold.

Having been out of action for quite literally 80+ years, he can sure be out of step, but once he's made aware of what's going on, he suits up. Not as Captain America, but as plain old Steve Rogers; Super Soldier. Sam Wilson is Captain America now, and Steve would never agree to reclaim that title. It could be a cool way to maybe give Sam his own distinctive Shield, while giving us the amazing visual of two Captains fighting side by side.

You also, technically, wouldn't be playing shenanigans with Steve's legacy in the MCU either. He was always still alive in the MCU. He just retired. Confident that the world was left in good hands, but when called upon, he was happy to come back into the fold and fight with his old teammates.

He still looks pretty young

SHEILD hasn't existed in the 616 for more than 10 years.

Shield could be reformed.

No one would trust it after the Hydra infiltration. Plus, there are already organizations that filled their void.

Rebuild Ant Man's van and out Steve as an old man through time (like Ant Man in Endgame( and get a nice young one back to lead the avengers properly

I’d rather Steve be dead at this point. He lived a long life and got his happiness in the end. I’m totally satisfied with Endgame being his last appearance. No point for old Steve to still be around.

Rman8232025-10-07 23:44

Yep. Endgame was the perfect sendoff for our Steve giving him a happy ending in the other universe and returning and resting knowing his remaining time was short. Seeing our Steve before that is a different story, but Endgame should remain his ending.

He is going to come back, but it's clearly going to be a different Steve. Just the actor is returning.

They'll have a him vs doom moment, or a twist where they're teamed up and both bad.

Yea, if a young Steve popped up, and it's the same one, it would undo his entire happy life with his family. It's also impossible, because time travel is impossible. That's the entire point of endgame, that you can only go back in another timeline. Which also doesn't really make sense, because then what's stopping them from going back in yours? Unless, 2025 is taking place at the exact same time as 2022 in another universe, which is the only explanation that makes sense.

I think I just had a conversation with myself.

That sounds like an Elden Ring boss entering second phase.

I've given thee courtesy enough.

Now I fight as Stever Rogers; Super Soldier

Recent photos suggest he's back on a serious gym routine. If he's coming back it's probably as either a variant or as 616 Cap from from an earlier time period.

rvdp662025-10-08 00:42

Nah he needs to be captain hydra and fight John and bucky and Sam to stand still in shock. Before spidey whips him.

SeekerVash2025-10-08 00:48

That would be a good way to drastically reduce ticket sales for Doomsday.

xpacean2025-10-08 00:53

I wouldn’t mind a decrepit Steve giving a rallying speech or something (and maybe gets one good swing at a bad guy), but if Chris Evans wants back in, I want the movie about him returning the Infinity Stones.

TDStarchild2025-10-08 01:22

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Evans play multiple characters, including an evil variant and Old Man Cap

But mostly, I expect he’ll be Steve from the time between his life with Peggy and giving Sam the shield

Old Man Rogers gave us one of my favourite comic pages. I forget the issue, but it’s She Hulk, and basically has Cap with cane and a bad guy running at him. Then onomatopoeia and we have Cap with cane and bad guy on the floor. Like yeah, he’s old and needs a cane, but will still drop a fool without even seeming to move.
