Chris Evans Reportedly Returning to Marvel Universe
Deadpool 3 is set to have a star-studded cast filled with cameos. Now that the multiverse is in play, Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds will leverage this plot point to introduce past heroes, the latest being Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. One actor being teased to return to the MCU is Chris Evans, but he won’t return as Captain America.
The website DEXERTO cites rumors that Chris Evan will reprise his role as Johnny Storm in the upcoming Deadpool film. While this rumor comes out of left field, fans of the actor may recall another cameo appearance in one of Reynold’s projects. His appearance provided laugh-out-loud excitement during ‘Free Guy’ when Evans appeared as himself.

Evans appeared as Johnny Storm in two Fantastic Four Films in 2005 and again in 2007. Johnny Storm, also known as the Human Torch, is a key member of the Fantastic Four, a team of superheroes who gained superpowers after being exposed to cosmic radiation. Johnny Storm has the ability to generate flames, fly, and project fire from his body. He is known for his cocky and brash personality, and is often portrayed as the “heart” of the Fantastic Four.

Evans would go on to play Captain America in the MCU proper in a total of 8 films and voiced Steve Rogers in video games and animated projects as well. Fan reaction to the news was positive, but many tempered their expectations, having been disappointed by speculation of this nature in the past. This would be the second appearance of a member of the Fantastic Four in the MCU. John Krasinski played a version of Reed Richards in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in 2022.
