Hayley Atwell and Chris Evans almost returned as Peggy Carter and Steve Rogers in their own movie, but instead they'll reunite in Avengers: Doomsday

Hot on the heels of Chris Evans reportedly making a deal to return in Avengers: Doomsday, it looks like Hayley Atwell will be joining him as Agent Peggy Carter, according to Deadline. And yes, this does mean that it's likely that Chris Evans will be playing Steve Rogers, the original Captain America, after all.

In fact, Deadline reports that the pair were initially in talks to return in their own co-starring movie, presumably picking up in the years after Steve returned to the past and married Peggy at the end of Avengers: Endgame. However, a story for the film couldn't be settled on, so the pair's reunion and return as Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter has apparently been shifted over to Avengers: Doomsday, which will feature former Iron Man actor Robert Downey, Jr. recast into the new role of the villainous Doctor Doom.
