Back in January, buzz spread that Chris Evans was considering signing a deal to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Steve Rogers/Captain America in some capacity despite handing over his shield at the end of Avengers: Endgame. But, while out doing press for the latest Marvel TV series to land, The Falcon And The Winter Soldier*, MCU boss Kevin Feige dispelled the rumours.
"I rarely answer no to anything anymore because things are always surprising me with what happens, but that rumor, I think, was dispelled rather quickly by the man himself," Feige tells Entertainment Weekly.
Naturally, this will ignite a new round of speculation that he's covering up a surprise return for Cap in the new series (and we all know how it went for most of the theories about WandaVision).
For Evans' part, he replied at the time via Twitter (see below) and we'll wait and see what actually happens. Meanwhile, if you want to know more about the new show, check out the new issue of Empire, which will be out this week.
