Avengers: Doomsday Rumor Reveals Chris Evans’ Confusing Code Name

Chris Evans is heavily rumored to appear in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, and apparently he even got himself a very confusing code name while on set.

What was Chris Evans’ code name while on set for Avengers: Doomsday?

According to noted insider My Time To Shine, Evans’ codename on set of Doomsday was “Luke Cage.” While that sounds confusing on its own, the insider also explained Marvel often likes to use very strange or puzzling code names to throw people off, and even did so with Giancarlo Esposito for Captain America: Brave New World.

“Speaking of which, Giancarlo Esposito had the codename ‘George Washington Bridge’ on the set of Captain America: Brave New World, which caused confusion about who he was actually playing (Sidewinder),” said the insider.

As for Evans’ status in Doomsday, any details of his part in the film remain mysterious. A recent report from My Time To Shine said that he would “100%” be in the movie as Steve Rogers, but obviously no official confirmation has come just yet.

The cast for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, including Evans or not, is going to be massive. So far, several major stars from the MCU have been confirmed to be in the movie, including Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby’s Invisible Woman/Sue Storm, Anthony Mackie’s Captain America, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Letitia Wright’s Shuri/Black Panther, and Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man.

More names for the upcoming movie include Wyatt Russell’s U.S. Agent/John Walker, Tenoch Huerta’s Namor, Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s The Thing/Ben Grimm, Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, Kelsey Grammer’s Dr. Hank McCoy/Beast, Lewis Pullman’s Bob/Sentry, Danny Ramirez’s Joaquin Torres/Falcon, Joseph Quinn’s Johnny Storm/Human Torch, David Harbour’s Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Winston Duke‘s M’Baku, Hannah John-Kamen‘s Ava Starr/Ghost, and Tom Hiddleston‘s Loki.
