On the verge of WandaVision being released to the Disney+ streaming service, Marvel fans were thrown for a major loop today when a report indicated Captain America actor Chris Evans was returning for a brand new project in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But shortly after the news hit, Evans himself shed doubt on the rumor with a simple tweet in which he wrote “news to me,” followed by the damning shrug emoji. And of course, these denials are hardly the debunks they used to be; for every time a Mark Ruffalo or Tom Holland spoils a secret, a Hailee Steinfeld or Tatiana Maslany is denying their involvement.
