Chris Evans has opened up about why he has returned for Avengers: Doomsday, admitting he turned down "dozens" of pitches from Marvel over the past eight years.
"When we finished Endgame in 2018, Lou [D’Esposito] and Kevin [Feige] took me to dinner and they were like, 'We’d love to keep doing movies with Steve Rogers as Nomad,'" Evans told Entertainment Weekly after the Marvel SDCC 2026 panel. "And I said, 'Okay, well, what do you got?' They showed me a pitch, and it was a great pitch, but for whatever reason, it just didn't feel right at the time. I kind of wanted to… I was a little precious. I wanted to preserve it. But I just said, 'Please keep pitching.'"
