Chris Evans has called December's report that he's set to make his MCU return for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday "not true," claiming that he is "happily retired."

“That’s not true, though,” Evans said when asked about the rumours. “This always happens. I mean, it happens every couple years—ever since Endgame. I’ve just stopped responding to it. Yeah, no—happily retired!”

Anthony Mackie and Chris Evans spent five years making Marvel movies together as Sam Wilson/Falcon and Steve Rogers/Captain America. Their characters were close friends, with Steve bestowing the Captain America shield to Sam at the end of 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.

Doomsday? Well… according to Captain America himself he isn't. Though The Hollywood Reporter confirmed in December that Evans would be dipping back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the actor is now denying those reports.

Avengers, disassemble. Chris Evans, who played Captain America for nearly a decade in the MCU, is not returning to Marvel for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. At least that’s what he told Esquire in a profile of his former co-star, Anthony Mackie.

Although Benedict Cumberbatch has spoiled that Doctor Strange won't be in Avengers: Doomsday, it backs up a popular theory about Captain America.

Benedict Cumberbatch will be back as Doctor Strange in Avengers: Doomsday, and that's a good thing.
