Pros in words insider Jeff Snyder, Evans will take on the role of Nomad, the identity used by Steve Rogers in the 1974 comic book series when he gave up the shield and name of Captain America. The character becomes disillusioned with the government, so he can no longer serve the country.
How The Direct notes, this is the first time Evans will play Rogers in the Nomad incarnation — many believed it happened back in the movie «Avengers: Infinity War» 2018, where he ripped the all-American insignia off his costume.
«Some people suspect that he might have been Nomad, I wouldn’t say it’s definitely Nomad, but it’s the spirit of that character», — said at the time co-director of «The Avengers» Joe Russo.
The last time fans saw Chris Evans’ Captain America, he was traveling back in time to spend his days with Peggy Carter after bringing the Infinity Stones back to the timeline.

Earlier, insiders wrote that Marvel considering Gwyneth Paltrow’s return to the role of Pepper Potts;Josh Brolin also stated thatis ready to reprise the role of Thanos in the new «Avengers»if Marvel offers «the correct story».
As a reminder, Marvel is developing two new films about «Avengers» — «Doomsday» and «Secret Wars», which will be the end of the MCU multiverse saga and will be closely connected. Both will be directed by the Russo brothers and written by Stephen McFeely, who worked on the «Avengers films: Endgame» and «Infinity War».
The release of «Avengers: Doomsday» is scheduled for release on May 1, 2026, while «Secret Wars» will debut a year later.
