Did Captain America Predict COVID-19 Outbreak in 2011? Twitter User Debunks Popular Conspiracy Theory
Netizens are currently debating if and whether the discussed scene in the movie really involved COVID-19 or was it a mistake on their part? Fortunately, a twitter user solved all their queries.
The world in movies in a weird place. While we read stories on how The Simpsons had murder hornets in one of its many episodes, a new theory suggests that Chris Evans' Captain America did the same (not hornets but a virus outbreak) in its 2011 release. The theory implies that the movie that saw Evans officially entering the MCU predicted a COVID-19 outbreak. But how true is that? It was certainly not a part of the plot, we are sure about that. But a mere advertisement on a hoarding in one of its scenes prompted users to decode if the movie had predicted an outbreak. The Simpsons Predicted Murder Hornets?

Interestingly we are discussing the Captain America story on Chris Evans' birthday (June 13) and that's a huge coincidence. Evans exited his superhero character with Marvel's Avengers: Endgame that showed him handing over his mantle to his good friend and fellow Avenger, Falcon. And while you may think if he'll return in MCU in future, you're highly mistaken. Chris is done with his superhero avatar and wants to focus on other roles next. We understand and stand by him!
