Did Chris Evans just reveal his return for Avengers: Secret Wars without meaning to?

Chris Evans is officially returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, confirming his involvement in Avengers: Secret Wars.

Marvel has just added serious weight to its biggest upcoming film.

Evans has revealed that he will begin work on the next Avengers project in the coming months, signaling his role in the Multiverse Saga’s final chapter. While he has not specified which character he will play, his return has immediately sparked speculation among fans.

The confirmation comes via audio shared by user Jessica Zborowski, in which Evans can be heard saying: “I start work on the next one in a couple of months, so I'm in the next one. There's that.”
