‘Best Decision…’; When Chris Evans Admitted He Missed Playing Captain America

As a die-hard Marvel fan since the dawn of time (or at least since 2011), witnessing Chris Evans bring Captain America to life was nothing short of magical. The man embodied the spirit of America, sacrificed his youth for the greater good, and made us all feel like we could save the world too – one shield throw at a time.


It was quite a moment to see Chris Evans portray the initial Avenger. Since that time, the actor has progressed significantly and even handed over his role as Captain America to Anthony Mackie’s character, the Falcon. In the past, Evans shared his feelings about missing the opportunity to continue playing Captain America.

Actor from Knives Out held onto the vibranium shield for nearly a decade before saying goodbye to his superhero persona in the 2019 film, Avengers: Endgame.

In 2022, during conversations with others, Chris Evans shared feelings connected to his MCU character.

Speaking about his life following Avengers: Endgame, Evans shared that he misses portraying Captain America. He explained, “Once the films are over, you’re quite glad for a rest, but it doesn’t take long before you start to miss it.”

Chris Evans, known for inspiring both the on-screen superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and their viewers with his outstanding line deliveries, expressed his heartfelt gratitude for being included in these movies, portraying the timeless character.

Evans shared that one advantage of playing his Marvel Studios character was the opportunity it gave him to prioritize self-care, a perk that likely resonates with many children. Moreover, he emphasized that anyone would be remiss not to appreciate the role and the job itself.

Talking about his relationship with the Marvel Studios, he called it ”symbolic.” 

Disclosing details about his health status at the time, the actor from The Fantastic Four stated that, being 41 years old, he felt it necessary to increase his commitment to staying fit and prepared for any physical challenges.

Later on, he mentioned that he now consumes his beer as clothing, which is different from the past when he could eat anything he wanted without restriction and still maintain his fitness after a few workouts.

In summary, Chris Evans expressed that becoming Captain America turned out to be the most rewarding choice he ever made.

After his exit from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Chris Evans took on diverse acting roles. Known previously for portraying a hero who saved many lives and led a team of superheroes, Evans has since appeared as antagonists in films such as The Gray Man, sharing the screen with Ryan Gosling and Ana de Armas.

The actor also gave his voice for Buzz Lightyear, in Disney’s Lightyear.

Chris Evans has returned to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this time playing his former character, the Human Torch (Johnny Storm), rather than Captain America.

He played the character in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Starting from 2011, the role of Captain America has been passed on to Mackie’s character in the movie titled “Captain America: Brave New World.”
