After a heartfelt farewell to Captain America in Avengers: Endgame, fans were initially led to believe Chris Evans had hung up his shield for good. However, Marvel never ceases to surprise. Evans made a delightful comeback as Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, in the recent Deadpool & Wolverine movie, a role that he had previously essayed in Fantastic Four. This development has reignited discussions about his future within the MCU.

The recent depiction of Johnny Storm, while entertaining, felt somewhat diminished compared to his original portrayal. Many fans feel that this version of the character is a weaker, more naive, and less imaginative oneleaving them unsatisfied and yearning for a deeper exploration of Johnny Storm’s capabilities.

As the MCU prepares for Avengers: Secret Wars, the stage is set for Evans to reclaim his role with more depth and significance. The film is expected to showcase a plethora of characters across the multiverse, providing the perfect backdrop for a powerful and transformed Johnny Storm to take center stage once again.

The opportunity for redemption is ripe for Evans’ Human Torch, particularly given the trajectory of the upcoming films. The original portrayal of Johnny Storm, along with his dynamic relationship with characters like Doctor Doom, left a lasting impression on fans.

With Robert Downey Jr. confirmed to return as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, the potential for an epic clash between these two iconic characters is tantalizing.

As Evans steps back into the role, it’s essential that the character is portrayed with the depth and strength that fans remember. This redemption arc could serve to rectify the portrayal in Deadpool & Wolverine, transforming Johnny into a formidable hero who can stand tall against villains like Doctor Doom.

The upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars could be the perfect setting for a high-stakes battle, allowing Evans to showcase a more powerful version of his character. With the intricate connections established through the multiverse, fans can expect more than just a reunion, they’re in for a showdown that honors the legacy of these characters while propelling them into thrilling new adventures.

You can watch Fantastic Four on Disney+, and Deadpool & Wolverine is still in theatres.
