Captain America: New World Order will be the 36th film in the MCU and the twelfth installment of Phase 5. Previously, THR also speculated that “It is unclear if Chris Evans would reprise his role as the first #CaptainAmerica (though if the question of who is entitled to carry the shield continues, all bets are off).” There’s also some possibility that Chris Evans might come back as a variant of his original character, even an evil or surreal one.
