The character
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Steve Rogers is a frail Brooklyn volunteer turned into a super-soldier during World War II. Chris Evans introduced him in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), and Rogers went on to lead the Avengers through The Avengers, Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Endgame.
At the end of Endgame he passed the shield to Sam Wilson, played by Anthony Mackie. Evans returns as Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, and the film’s trailers have put Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, back in his hand.
