‘Civil War 2’? RDJ and Chris Evans Might Face Off Again in the MCU—But as Different Characters

The MCU is currently navigating the Multiverse Saga, which has received mixed reactions from fans. Critics have pointed to the sometimes convoluted plots and the idea that the Multiverse implies a lack of consequences.

Despite this, the concept of the Multiverse and variants presents intriguing opportunities to explore familiar stories from new perspectives and with different outcomes, as demonstrated by What If…?.

In the Multiverse, things get complex with variants—there are now two versions of Thanos, Gamora, and Loki in the MCU, and RDJ portrays both Iron Man and Doctor Doom.

The recent Deadpool & Wolverine also introduced a Human Torch played by Chris Evans, who is also Captain America. This setup might allow for a dramatically different version of Civil War to unfold in the MCU, once again with RDJ and Chris Evans on opposing sides.

With the announcement of Avengers: Doomsday, there’s a strong possibility that the MCU could adapt the ‘Time Runs Out’ and ‘Secret Wars’ storylines. In ‘Time Runs Out,’ various realities collide through incursions, risking their destruction.

Given the existence of the Sacred Timeline alongside other timelines, including Deadpool’s Earth-10005 where the Human Torch is either dead or in the Void, his resurrection remains a possibility due to the nature of Variants.

Doctor Doom, who takes on the powers of the Beyonder, could create a new reality called Battleworld—a patchwork of various realities. In Battleworld, factions and variants, including alternate Fantastic Four, Avengers, and X-Men, vie for dominance.

As Doom rules Battleworld with an iron fist, Chris Evans’ Torch could find himself in opposition to RDJ’s Doom, questioning Doom’s true role and whether he’s a solution or part of the problem. This scenario would offer a fresh and intriguing take on the conflict, revisiting the fight in a novel way.
