Avengers: Doomsday Will Be 'Brutal' for Steve Rogers, Chris Evans Says, as Fans Fear for the Fate of His Child

Avengers: Doomsday volition beryllium "brutal" for Steve Rogers, erstwhile Captain America prima Chris Evans has teased.

Marvel's upcoming blockbuster volition spot Steve Rogers backmost for the archetypal clip successful 8 years, with Chris Evans erstwhile again reunited with the Russo brothers, who antecedently directed him successful Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.

Steve Rogers was surely enactment done the wringer during those films, though his communicative seemingly gained a blessed ending — backmost successful clip with his beloved Peggy Carter. Alas, this blessed ending present looks apt to beryllium undone.

"The Russos emotion beating up Steve Rogers," Evans said during an quality astatine Boston Fan Expo. "Their favourite happening to bash is to conscionable bushed the crap retired of him. To them that's what makes a hero, and that's idiosyncratic who gets punched truthful galore times but inactive gets up.

"They support uncovering caller ways to footwear his butt, but this 1 was brutal," Evans teased, "and a really, truly bully introspection into his quality and his values. I'll say... it's astir apt thing you haven't seen yet, but you will."

What could beryllium the origin of this caller heartbreak for Steve Rogers? Well, with the quality present revealed to beryllium a father, fans are fearful that thing horrible volition hap to his child. After all, Doom appears to person an involvement successful the children of superheroes — we past saw him holding babe Franklin successful The Fantastic Four: First Steps' post-credits scene.

Would Marvel spell truthful acheronian arsenic to termination Steve Rogers' child? It sounds unlikely, but there's inactive a batch we don't cognize astir Avengers: Doomsday's plot. The film's trailers person antecedently shown 2 precise antithetic looks for Steve Rogers, capable that immoderate fans deliberation the quality volition look via 2 change egos. But it could conscionable beryllium that we spot a somewhat aged-up, bearded mentation of Steve — meaning his kid is present older, too.

And past there's the information that Doomsday volition beryllium followed by Secret Wars, which could fundamentally bash immoderate it likes with the MCU's continuity. Here's hoping that if thing unspeakable does befall Steve Rogers Jr., it volition inevitably get reversed done multiversal shenanigans.

Whatever's successful store, it was intelligibly absorbing capable to Chris Evans that helium agreed to instrumentality aft "at slightest a twelve pitches" for different MCU projects previously. While we hold for Avengers: Doomsday to premiere connected December 18, you tin work astir the concealed connection Robert Downey Jr. hid portion astatine San Diego Comic-Con and spot however Feige fought backmost against disapproval of Doctor Doom's deficiency of build-up.
