With Marvel in desperate want of a burst of renewed passion and energy, MCU lovers are an increasing number of sounding like the Watcher as they ponder the question… What if the OG Avengers returned?

While Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, Jeremy Renner’s Hakweye, and Chris Hemsworth’s Thor are all still knocking round the universe, Avengers: Endgame memorably — and heartbreakingly — wrote Iron Man, Steve Rogers’ Captain America, and Black Widow out of the franchise. At the time this appeared like the right transfer, in order to allow the next generation of heroes to take up the baton.

However, 4 years later, with the MCU reputedly having misplaced the clout and box administrative center power it as soon as possessed, there’s rising talk (started by a tell-all report from Variety) that Marvel may well be pondering about breaking its bank so as to persuade Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johansson to reprise their cherished roles. Kevin Feige himself has denied it, but that man has more secrets and techniques than Nick Fury.

So what have the stars themselves said on the topic? Here’s Downey, Evans, and ScarJo’s most up-to-date comments on a possible Marvel return.

Chris Evans

Appearing on Nov. 28, 2023’s edition of The View, Evans used to be fielded with the inevitable query about a Captain America comeback. Fans who’ve saved up along with his responses to these queries ever since Endgame got here out won’t be surprised through his words. By the sounds of it, he’s no longer ruling the possibility out, however it’s now not like he’s in a rush to thieve again his star-spangled shield from Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson. We do have Captain America: Brave New World coming in February 2025, in the end.

“You know, I at all times see the ones experiences too, and it’s information to me,” Evans advised The View. “I think every couple months, any individual says that they’re getting Downey, and Hemsworth, and Scarlett, and everybody’s coming back! No one’s spoken to me about it. And glance, I would never say by no means, but I really — I’m very protective. It’s an excessively treasured function to me, so it might have to be good.”

Scarlett Johansson

On Nov. 14, 2023, Scarlett Johansson raised eyebrows with an even more evasive response to her Marvel long term than Evans’. The Black Widow superstar joked all through an appearance on TODAY that they simply means she may go back as the overdue Natasha Romanoff could be by means of supernatural manner.

“I believe like that’s kind of the end, proper?” she remarked. “Like are you able to come again? Could or not it's a vampire model of the personality? Cause I’m here for that, like a zombie model, possibly.”

Johansson then got right into a teasing back-and-forth with host Al Roker, in which she closely instructed there may well be one thing she’s conserving beneath her hat.

“You really ask the arduous questions. I feel like I have to tell you, however I in fact don’t have to tell you, Al. I don't, however I want to so bad!”

It’s a incontrovertible fact that Johansson is working with Marvel as a producer on an unknown, upcoming venture, so she’s almost definitely the most likely to return of this trio.

Robert Downey Jr.

As for the least most likely to return, that has to be Robert Downey Jr. As the daddy of the MCU, Tony Stark’s dying in Avengers: Endgame in point of fact wrapped up the Infinity Saga in a bow and acted as the absolute best farewell to Downey’s time in the franchise. Naturally, then, he has been largely dismissive about the thought of suiting up as the Armored Avenger yet again in the years since.

Downey’s definitive comment on the matter came from a Jan. 15, 2020 interview on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. “There would have to be a perfect compelling argument and a sequence of occasions that made it obvious,” he stressed about running with Marvel once more. “But the thing more is, I wanna do other stuff.”

Similarly, Marvel Studios manufacturer Stephen Broussard confirmed to Gizmodo in February 2023 that long run appearances from Downey have been “now not [on] the table,” which indicated that the actor had privately informed the studio he’s closed the door on Iron Man for good.

All in all, ScarJo? Possibly. Evans? An outside probability, however it might occur below the proper cases. Downey? Yeah, don’t depend on it. And but, this is the MCU, where the rest can occur, and one thing drastic definitely needs to happen, so those Avengers would possibly but reassemble at some point in spite of everything.
