## Key points

- Fans think Loki may be posing as Steve Rogers.
- A brief TV spot fuels the theory with two clues.
- *Doomsday* arrives on 18 December.

## Summary

A new *Avengers: Doomsday* TV spot has prompted fans to speculate that Loki may be impersonating Steve Rogers. The theory matters because Steve’s return and his role in the film remain unexplained, amid hints that the story could involve threats to the wider Marvel universe.

Fans point to Steve turning when Scott Lang calls him “Cap”, despite Sam Wilson having taken on the name, and to a smile that recalls Loki’s expression towards Thor. Loki has impersonated Steve before, briefly appearing as Captain America in *Thor: The Dark World*, but the theory is unconfirmed. The film is due in cinemas on 18 December, with *Avengers: Secret Wars* scheduled for 2027.
