Captain America’s ending in Avengers: Endgame left many fans wondering – is this really the last we’ll see of Steve Rogers? A new theory suggests Cap might be back in action, and not just in any movie, but the epic Avengers: Secret Wars!
This theory hinges on a twist: what if Steve Rogers, the old Cap we saw in Endgame, already lived through the events of Secret Wars? Here’s how it breaks down:
Time Travel and the Time Variance Authority (TVA): Remember how Cap went back in time to return the Infinity Stones? The theory suggests he might have gotten tangled with the TVA, a mysterious organization that controls the flow of time. We saw glimpses of the TVA in the Loki series, and it seems their job is to stop anyone from messing with history too much.
Why Recruit Cap? With the multiverse (many universes existing at once) becoming a bigger part of the MCU, powerful beings like Kang the Conqueror are threatening its stability. The TVA might need all the help they can get, and who better than Captain America, a symbol of courage and leadership? Even though Cap is old, his experience and strategic mind would be invaluable.
Endgame as a Set-up? The theory suggests that Cap’s final mission in Endgame, returning the Stones, might have been his TVA initiation. Imagine the movie starting right after Cap puts the last Stone back. He might get whisked away by the TVA before rejoining his past self (the young Cap) and Peggy.
What about Secret Wars? Secret Wars is a massive comic book storyline where realities collide and heroes from different universes battle it out. The MCU is introducing the multiverse concept, so Secret Wars seems like a natural fit for a future Avengers movie. This theory suggests Cap, recruited by the TVA, would be right in the thick of this epic fight.
Why This Theory is Exciting:
- Chris Evans’ Return: Fans love Chris Evans as Captain America. This theory offers a way for him to return, not just as a variant Cap from another universe, but as the Steve Rogers we know and love.
- Connecting the Dots: It connects Captain America’s Endgame ending with the emerging themes of the multiverse and the TVA, making the MCU feel more cohesive.
- A Veteran’s Wisdom: Old Cap brings a wealth of experience to the table. His strategic thinking and leadership could be crucial in the chaos of Secret Wars.
Is it True? This is just a theory, but it’s fun to think about! There’s no confirmation from Marvel, but with the multiverse and the TVA being explored, anything is possible.

Additional Points to Consider:
- The Soul Stone: Another theory suggests Cap might have the Soul Stone’s power due to his encounter with Red Skull. This could give him a unique edge in Secret Wars.
- More Cap Stories?: Even if this theory isn’t true, there’s always room for more Captain America stories, maybe exploring his adventures while returning the Stones.
Remember, this is all speculation, but it shows how much fans love Captain America and how excited they are for the future of the MCU!
