Chris Evans is 'sad' not be back for Avengers: Doomsday
MCU icon Chris Evans has admitted he'll feel like he wasn't "invited to the party" when Avengers: Doomsday hits the big screen.
Chris Evans is disappointed not to be "invited to the party" for Avengers: Doomsday.
The 43-year-old actor - who played Captain America across eight films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) - has admitted while he's still in touch with his former castmates, there's a different feeling after leaving the franchise in Avengers: Endgame.
He told ScreenRant: "Yeah, I talk to them all the time. It’s where Pedro [Pascal] is right now. I mean, it’s sad to be away.
"It’s sad to not be back with the band, but I’m sure they’re doing something incredible, and I’m sure it’s going to be that much harder when it comes out, and you feel like you weren’t invited to the party.”
Evans made his final appearance in the MCU when his Captain America travels back in time to return the Infinity Stones.
He decides to stay in the past with Peggy Carter, while in the present day, the moniker and shield are passed onto Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie).
Mackie, 46, will be in the upcoming blockbuster, and he has teased the film will give audiences "that old Marvel feeling".
He told IGN: "We're kicking on down the road, so everybody's getting excited and we're getting the band back together.
“We’re supposed to go out this week, and we’ll be out there doing it. Everybody’s excited. I feel with the script and having the Russo brothers back, it’s going to be great.
"I’m really excited for what this project is going to be. It’s going to give the audience that old Marvel feeling that they always had.”
Meanwhile, Alan Cumming recently admitted he was "amazed and excited" to be returning as Nightcrawler for Avengers: Doomsday, which is currently filming in London.
Speaking with fellow X-Men star Olivia Munn for Collider, he said: “Isn't it nuts? I'm excited and amazed. It's been 23 years since I was a superhero.”
And Cumming has appeared to reveal he will be fighting Pascal in Avengers: Doomsday.
The 60-year-old actor is set to reprise his X2: X-Men United mutant Nightcrawler in the upcoming MCU blockbuster, and the star hinted he may be coming to blows with Pascal’s Mr. Fantastic.
During a video interview with Buzzfeed UK, Cumming said: “I was learning stunts yesterday for some fight scene and I just think, I’m 60 years old. 23 years ago, I played that superhero.
“I was kind of old for a superhero even then. And now I’m back doing it. And that, to me, is hilarious.
“I’m sort of learning these fights and I’m like, ‘What? Who am I fighting with?’ And they said, ‘You’re hitting Pedro Pascal against the head,’ or something.”
