After years of speculation, Marvel Studios has finally released the first look at ‘Avengers: Doomsday’. Although the teaser is not very long, every frame of it is now being analyzed in detail on social media. However, one scene has overshadowed all the discussions – where Steve Rogers is seen on screen after many years. But not alone, a small child is seen in his arms. Since watching this scene, Marvel fans around the world have only one question in their minds: Who is this child of Steve Rogers?

​The Return of Steve Rogers: An Epic Twist

​In ‘Avengers: Endgame’, we saw the old Steve Rogers handing over his shield to Sam Wilson. Then fans assumed that Steve’s story might have ended there. But this teaser of ‘Doomsday’ has changed all calculations. In the teaser, it is seen that Steve Rogers has not only returned as a young man, but now he has a new responsibility on his shoulders. Did Marvel bring this Steve from another world in the multiverse? And what is the identity of that child?

​Possible answers from the pages of the comic book

​There are several surprising facts about the existence of Steve Rogers’ child in the vast world of Marvel Comics. Although Steve does not have any children in the main timeline (Earth-616), the picture is different in other worlds of the multiverse:

​James Rogers (Junior Captain America): In Marvel’s ‘Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow’ story, Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) have a son named James Rogers. With his father’s indomitable courage and his mother’s fighting skills, he is an unrivaled warrior. Many believe that this aspect can be highlighted in the movie. ​

Sarah Rogers and the Crusader: ‘What If…?’ (#114) In the comics, Steve Rogers and the mutant ‘Rogue’ have a daughter. Her name is Sarah Rogers. She is so strong that she can easily lift Thor’s hammer ‘Mjolnir’.

​Secret family with Peggy Carter: When Steve decided to go back in time and spend his life with Peggy at the end of ‘Endgame’, many theories suggest that they had two children. In the comics, Steve and Peggy’s son’s name is mentioned somewhere as Rick or Nick. Is the child in the teaser the heir to that secret timeline?​

The connection between Doctor Doom and this child

​Robert Downey Jr. is returning as the villain ‘Doctor Doom’. A large section of fans believe that this child of Steve Rogers could be the key to the war against Doctor Doom. Maybe there is some power hidden in this child that can save the multiverse from destruction. Or it could be that Doctor Doom is planning to use this child to blackmail the Avengers.

​Internet frenzy and scoopers claim

​Famous Marvel leaks and scoopers are claiming that this is just the tip of the iceberg. The upcoming full trailer may show the interaction of this child with characters like Thor and Hulk. Fans are currently flooding Twitter and Reddit with memes about how Thor will react when he sees this baby.

Will Steve Rogers’ child lead a new superhero team, the Young Avengers? Or is this just an emotional moment in the multiverse? We’ll have to wait until the movie hits the big screen to find out. But one thing is for sure—Captain America’s return will take the Marvel Cinematic Universe back to its old heights.
