Later tonight, Captain America: The Winter Soldier hits BBC One screens at 10:40 p.m.
It was the last solo Captain America movie that Chris Evans enjoyed before he started hanging out with Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Scarlet Witch.
His journey came to a resounding end during the events of Avengers Endgame when he traveled back in time to be with Peggy Carter and grow old with her.
But he could come back.
Evans has previously claimed he won’t be returning to don the character’s outfit.
His exit from the show left a power vacuum in the show, which was eventually filled by the new and improved Captain America – Falcon (Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie).
But, with the madness of reality in the Marvel Cinematic Universe right now, it’s not impossible to imagine Evans returning.
Just recently, in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, there was Captain Carter – a different Captain America altogether.
But, just recently, Evans raised the possibility of him returning to the show as Steve Rogers once again.
Evans was promoting Disney’s new animated prequel to Toy Story, Lightyear.
He said of his comeback: “It seems like something people would like to see. I don’t want to disappoint anyone but it’s hard to… It was such a good race and I’m so happy about it. “
He added that being Cap was “so precious to me”.
However, he provided the conditions he would need to return.

The publication added that Evans would be joining “at least one Marvel property – with the door open for a second movie.”
If true, that would be huge news for the franchise that put so much pressure on the original Captain America throughout the first four phases of the MCU.
While that could certainly be true, the first details for Captain America 4 have just dropped.
Captain America: New World Order is set to hit theaters on May 3, 2024, and will continue the story of Sam Wilson as the new leader of the Avengers.
The film’s cast list has yet to be confirmed, but it’s a safe bet that a number of big Captain America players will be included.
This means fans will likely see Sebastian Stan, Sharon Carter, and Nick Fury make their return.
The Captain America series and MCU movies are now available to stream on Disney Plus.
