The highly anticipated trailer for Avengers: Doomsday has finally dropped, giving fans a first look at the epic battle to save the world from multiversal chaos. The trailer, released yesterday, features a star-studded cast, including Robert Downey Jr. as the dastardly Doctor Doom and the return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, aka Captain America.
While the trailer is packed with action and excitement, one thing has caught fans' attention - Chris Evans' physical appearance. Many have taken to social media to express their surprise, with some even questioning whether the actor has undergone a significant transformation.
"Maybe this is pedantic, but that's not him," wrote one fan. "That doesn't look like him. That looks like Chris Evans." The comments section is filled with similar sentiments, with fans struggling to reconcile the actor's new look with the iconic character.
However, some fans have proposed a theory that might just explain the discrepancy. According to a popular fan theory, the Steve Rogers seen in the trailer is not the Captain America we know and love - it's actually an evil variant from some dark corner of the multiverse.
This 'evil Steve' (Stevil from now on) has been brought to our dimension by Doom to help him with his nefarious plan. The theory suggests that Stevil has been brought to our dimension to infiltrate the Avengers and help Doom achieve his goals.
But if that is actually Stevil, then how can he lift Thor's hammer, Mjolnir? According to the comic book storyline, Secret Empire (2017), Stevil was able to lift the hammer due to some magical chicanery that changed the enchantment, allowing him to defy the traditional rules of Mjolnir.
As the debate rages on, one thing is certain - the people will have to wait until December 18 to find out the truth. Avengers: Doomsday will crash into cinemas, bringing with it a thrilling adventure that promises to leave fans on the edge of their seats.
