He’s baaaack. No, I’m not talking about James Cameron and his latest film, Avatar: Fire and Ash. I’m talking about the teaser before that film for Avengers: Doomsday, which reveals that a certain someone will be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
That someone is none other than the first Captain America, Steve Rogers, played once again by Chris Evans. When we last saw Steve, he abandoned all those he knew and loved in our present day to live in the past with Peggy Carter. The teaser, according to Variety, shows Steve riding a motorcycle up to his home on a farm (because of course he lives on a farm). He stops, admires his helmet, which looks not unlike Cap’s helmet, and also admires a baby that, we assume, is his and Peggy’s. The Avengers theme is played on a piano over all of this, and the clip ends with a countdown timer to the premiere date of Avengers: Doomsday, which is just under a year away.
The teaser is reportedly just one of several that Marvel will be releasing in the upcoming weeks, with each one focused on a different character. For this one with Steve Rogers, the questions are many: Where and when is this farm, including what timeline in the multiverse? Where is Peggy? Where is this baby in our present time, assuming this teaser is a flashback? Is this the Steve Rogers we know from previous films, or is this another Steve Rogers from the aforementioned multiverse? And what is time, really?
The answers to these are still elusive, but we have 364 days to mull over them: Avengers: Doomsday premieres in theaters on December 18, 2026.
*Note: Since this article originally ran, the Steve Rogers trailer has been officially uploaded. Here it is in all its relative glory.
