Chris Evans He entered Marvel through the front door as Johnny Storm, becoming the heartthrob of thousands of viewers thanks to his cocky portrayal of the Human Torch. And just when I thought I couldn’t get over it, he took to playing Captain America himself.
From captain america the first avenger A Avengers: Endgame, Evans has carried the shield in nine films – in addition to other post-credits appearances in another couple of them -; something he seemed to have said goodbye to in the fourth episode of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Its plot was perfectly closed, but the fans weren’t entirely worth it.
handed over to Anthony Mackywhose character Sam Wilson not only starred in his own series and honorably accepted Steve Rogers’ legacy, but is set to launch Captain America: New World Order – or, for the moment, New world order— in 2024. Still, some people miss Evans in the role, and he knows it.
This is why he took advantage of his stay at a fan convention in Chicago to raise the subject, in remarks that the American media collected. Variety the most revealing. From the start, and always attracting the displeasure of some fans of his Capi, confirms he doesn’t feel “right” to return to character now; perhaps referring to everything the Marvel Cinematic Universe is cooking up for its new captain.
Captain’s words
Despite this, he is not afraid to open up: “It’s difficult, because I love this role deeply. It means a lot to me, and I really love it. I think there are more Steve Rogers stories, that’s for sure.

Without a doubt, Marvel has been an important part of his career; since even ignoring all the success and notoriety it has brought him, it represents nearly a decade of work embodying the same character. However, it is repeated in the same way: “Even though I’m connected to the role and enjoy telling these stories and working with these people, that wouldn’t be the right thing to do right now.”
His refusal may have been clear, but he doesn’t deny returning at some point in the future. Spectators continue to demand the return of Robert Downey Jr. and his in the MCU, and despite the fact that the two seem to have closed this stage, the company has made it clear in its latest releases that anything can happen in the Multiverse.
