The Multiverse Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is hurdling towards its culmination with Avengers: Doomsday in 2026 and Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027. With the multiverse in play, anything is possible, including the return of fan favorite characters and even members of the original Avengers who made the MCU what it was in the first place. Now, a new fan-made poster by the digital artist welove_marvel on Instagram is adding to the excitement of the impending clash of titans with a latest piece that has been making the rounds on the social media platform. It is a perfect tribute to the legacy of Captain America, showcasing three iconic versions of the hero side-by-side. The artwork features Chris Evans’ classic Steve Rogers at the center, flanked by two other heroes who have taken up the shield: Hayley Atwell as Captain Carter and Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson. The image is a perfect representation of the multiverse, its possibilities, and the spirit of the Captain America mantle.
The artist’s caption for the post—”Rumors suggest that Marvel is secretly setting up a Captain America Corps moment in Avengers: Doomsday”—taps directly into a long-held fan theory, suggesting a team-up of epic proportions that would be a first for the MCU. The notion of seeing these three heroes unite against a common enemy in either or both of the upcoming Avengers films is an exciting one, and this artwork only makes fans more hopeful for the team up.
This Stunning Fan Art Perfectly Captures the Multiversal Stakes and Heroic Legacy
The poster is visual storytelling at its finest, placing Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers as the anchor of the trio.With his iconic shield held firm, Steve Rogers represents the original and unwavering idea of Captain America. To his left stands Hayley Atwell’s Captain Carter, a fan-favorite character from the animated series What If…? and her brief, but memorable cameo in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Captain Carter is a reminder that the multiverse presents countless possibilities beyond the main timeline in the same way that Fantastic Four: First Steps showed an entire film set in an alternate universe. Dressed in her Union Jack supersuit, Carter is a symbol of British heroism that is a parallel to Steve’s journey.
On Steve’s right is Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, the new Captain America of the MCU’s main timeline. Having recently taken up the shield after Steve’s retirement in Avengers: Endgame, Sam represents the passing of the torch and the evolution of Captain America’s role in a modern world. The three heroes are all in their prime, standing on what appears to be a desolate battlefield, with a stormy sky overhead that hints at the “doomsday” level threat they are facing. This visual echoes the scale and stakes of both Doomsday and Secret Wars, suggesting that the impressive lineup of Marvel heroes still require more than one Captain America to win the day.
The artwork is not just a collection of characters; it’s a story in and of itself, hinting at a merging of timelines and universes with different versions of Captain America. The “Captain America Corps” concept, which is canon in Marvel Comics, feels more plausible than ever, thanks to the groundwork laid by recent MCU projects, and this piece of digital art is a spectacular tribute to the franchise and a tantalizing glimpse into a future that fans are desperately hoping to see unfold on the big screen.
