Despite the trades reporting that Chris Evans will make his MCU return in Avengers: Doomsday, the actor remains resolute that his time as Captain America is over. 

However, we know better than to put too much stock into what actors like this say ahead of a movie as secretive as this one. Plus, even if Evans says he's done playing Cap, that doesn't mean he won't return as Variant in Doomsday or Secret Wars. 

While there aren't quite as many Captain America Variants as, say, Spider-Man, there are many alternate versions of Steve Rogers that Evans could bring to life as part of his long-awaited MCU comeback. 

To see which Captain America Variants we'd like to see in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, click on the "Next"/"View List" buttons below.

8. Old Man Rogers

Marvel Studios still hasn't firmly established whether Earth-616's Steve Rogers is alive or dead...

Entertaining fans through decades with iconic characters and narratives filled with inspiration and courage, the world of superhero cinema has witnessed several changes and experiments with characters and storylines.

One such experiment occurred when creators wondered what would happen if roles were reversed, and the responsibility went over to antiheroes and villains, instead of superheroes. That’s when Marvel’s Thunderbolts* and DC’s Suicide Squad was born.

Willing to explore setting up a few of the most questionable characters for a mission, Marvel and DC played with the idea of power in the hands of antiheroes. However, Thunderbolts* and the Suicide Squad couldn’t be more different. So let’s delve into their origins and characters to uncover how Marvel’s upcoming project is set to distinguish itself from DC’s popular franchise.

Who are Marvel’s Thunderbolts*, as per comics?...

Warning: contains spoilers for The Question: All Along the Watchtower #2!

DC just made clear, in the coolest way possible, just how serious they are about the Justice League’s “Unlimited” revamp. The recently concluded Absolute Power drove home the need for the Justice League, and heroes in general. The Question: All Along the Watchtower #2, set aboard the Justice League’s awe-inspiring new Watchtower, shows fans just how big the team is now–thanks to the return of an underrated character.

The Question: All Along the Watchtower #2 is written by Alex Segura and drawn by Cian Tormey. One of the Challengers of the Unknown has been attacked and left for dead on the Watchtower. The Question, as the Watchtower’s head of security, searches for any clues that might lead to the perpetrator. The Question’s journey takes her to the Watchtower’s bar–which is tended by Nightshade.

13 years ago, Fast & Furious 6 took Dominic Toretto's family and turned them into The Avengers, changing the franchise completely. When watching the Fast & Furious movies in order, Fast & Furious 6 is the sixth in release order, but only the fifth chronologically. The reason for this is the placement of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift on the timeline, with the ending of this film actively setting up Fast & Furious 6's true sequel, Furious 7, which is widely regarded as one of the best Fast & Furious movies.

Concerning Fast & Furious 6's ending, however, the film concludes with Dominic Toretto having his family completely together for one of the final times. The upcoming story of Fast 11 gives Dom a very different-looking family, both in terms of personnel but also in how the group operates within the franchise. Interestingly, it was Fast & Furious 6...

7. Soldier Supreme

Introduced during 2018's Infinity Wars event, Soldier Supreme was an amalgamation of Captain America and Doctor Strange. 

Not only does he have Cap's enhanced strength, agility, and combat skills, but the Soldier Supreme also wields Stephen Strange's mastery of magic and mystical artefacts (making him a formidable superhero on multiple fronts). 

This would give Evans a chance to do something new with a role he's been tied to since 2011, portraying a Steve similar to the one we all know and love, albeit with a magical twist that could even see him fulfil Doctor Strange's role from the comics as Doom's right-hand-man. 

6. Civil Warrior

As eager as we are to see Captain America return to the MCU to help save the Multiverse, there's something to be said about revisiting Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday in a more villainous light.
