Marvel‘s Moon Knight very nearly saw Chris Evans return as an elderly Captain America, according to writer Jeremy Slater.In a recent interview with Discussing Film, Slater revealed that the Oscar Isaac-led Disney+ series was set to unleash a number of surprising cameos, with Evans being one of them.However, it was not to be as the show instead opted to “stand on its own two feet”.“There were definitely different times in the writing process where we talked about cameos because cameos are one of the most fun things to discuss in a writer’s room,” said Slater.“What happens if we try to get Chris Evans back as old Captain America? You know, you sit there and play that ‘what if’ game among your writers.”The main cameos that were discussed, however, included Eternals characters such as Kit Harington’s Dane Whitman (aka Black Knight), Kumail Nanjiani’s Kingo and Lauren Ridloff’s Makkari. All three were poised to feature in a flashback depicting the fall of ancient Egyptian goddess Ammit and the death of Alexander the Great.In the end, though, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige encouraged the writers to drop the idea.“Kevin comes to us and says, ‘You know what, guys? I know everyone loves the cameos.
