While Marvel is busy filming the next Avengers installment called "Doomsday," one of the franchise's biggest icons — Chris Evans — remains on the sidelines. And honestly, it stings a bit.
In an interview with ScreenRant, the actor who played Captain America came clean: yes, he's no longer part of the story, and yes — it hurts a little.

It's sad to be away from it. It's sad not to be back with the group, he said. Then he added a line that probably hit home for everyone:
It's going to be even more upsetting when the movie comes out and you feel like you weren't invited to the party.
Right now Evans is busy promoting his new film "Materialists," where he stars alongside Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal — the same guy who's already suited up as Mister Fantastic and is about to storm into the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe).
So basically, you didn't get invited, but your co-star from the same set is already packing his bags for superhero universe duty. Ouch.
According to ScreenRant, there's been talk about Evans returning to the Avengers more than once: supposedly he was meant to reunite with Peggy Carter's character, and they even had a scene planned. But the actor himself shoots down all the rumors.
Well, his Captain America has already become part of a cinematic universe that can't be rewritten. Though ultimately, this could all just be a clever PR move, and we might still see Evans in his signature role after all — who knows? We'll wait and see. Earlier, we at zoomboola.com covered which actors were confirmed for the main roles in the new Avengers.
