The first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, released on December 23, marked the return of Chris Evans to the MCU as Captain America.
This revelation excited fans, especially since, at the end of Avengers: Endgame, Steve Rogers retired as an Avenger after returning to the past to live his life with his true love, agent Peggy Carter.
Upon his retirement, Rogers passed the Vibranium shield to Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), who took up the mantle of Captain America. The question now is how Marvel will handle Rogers’ return to the Universe after so many changes.
One particularly interesting change shown in the trailer was Captain America’s choice of motorcycle. Throughout the MCU films, we’ve seen that Rogers has a special passion for Harley-Davidsons.
So it was quite surprising to see him riding a British-made Triumph motorcycle. In the trailer, Rogers is shown riding the Triumph to a countryside property before a zoom focuses on his hand to highlight a gold ring on his ring finger.
Next, he is shown entering the house before the reveal that he is now a father, with a heartwarming scene showing Rogers holding a baby. The trailer ends with the announcement that Steve Rogers will return to the MCU in Avengers: Doomsday.
Now, if you’re a Marvel fan, you know that everything they do is intentional. Because of that, even the switch in Captain America’s motorcycle brand could be meaningful. Could it be a nod to Peggy, who is British? Could it represent an alternate reality where the Captain isn’t so patriotic?
In any case, Avengers: Doomsday won’t hit theaters until late 2026. With 12 long months still to go, take this time to analyze and create your own theories about this trailer (and future ones) before we get our answers.
