Chris Evans’ Captain America is kind of the moral compass of the Avengers team, whose past was explored in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger. However, there were quite a few things that bothered the fans, like how Steve Rogers became accustomed to the new world, and a bigger question than that was whether he was virg*n.

A deleted scene explained how Steve got used to the modern world, and the doubt about his virgin*ty was cleared a decade later by the movie’s writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Scroll below for the deets.

In the first movie, Steve is a skinny person who lacks the physique of a soldier, but his resolution and determination surpass everyone else’s. Thus, he was chosen to be given the super soldier serum and transformed physically. Later, he is regarded as the leader of the Avengers. Over the years, fans have seen him having the hearts and eyes for Peggy Carter; hence, some fans believed he must have been a virg*n.

What Did Captain America: The First Avenger Writers Say About Steve Rogers’ Virg*nity?

In 2021, Captain America: The First Avenger writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, during an interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, clarified the doubt amongst fans about Cap’s virgin*ty. The writers revealed that he allegedly lost it during his first USO tour in the movie when he was doing musicals and signing autographs. Steve has a very righteous personality, and maybe for that reason, people assumed that he kept himself for Peggy and did not sleep around.

Captain America: The First Avenger writer Stephen Mcfeely said, “I think he loses his virg*nity! Why do people think he’s a virg*n? I think if you look like that, and you’re going city to city, and you’re signing autographs… The likes of the ladies you’re signing autographs for… I gotta imagine that…” Christopher Markus added, “Steve Rogers isn’t a prude! He may be occasionally presented that way, but he’s a guy who believes in right and wrong and all these things – but he’s not a choir boy. He’s a WWII veteran.”

What Did Captain America Star Chris Evans Say About It?

Captain America actor Chris Evans once shared his take on the matter, and it differed from the writers’. The Avengers actor said (per The Hollywood Reporter), “It’s funny when you think about it—he’s probably a virg*n. He’s probably just a good guy. He was probably holding out for Peggy Carter, and he’s a little more old-fashioned in that sense.”

Captain America’s virg*nity was also addressed in the Disney+ web series She-Hulk when Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner also confirmed Markus and McFeely’s theory as he blurts out, “Steve Rogers is not a virg*n. He lost his virg*nity to a girl in 1943 on the USO tour.”

Will Captain America Be In Avengers: Doomsday?

Chris Evans’ journey as Captain America came to an end with Avengers: Endgame. He happily passed on the mantle to Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson aka Falcon, who took on to the role of the current Captain America. While there are rumors of Evans joining the cast of the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, no official confirmation has been made. His name was also not included in the cast announcement video for the movie. However, Mackie has been confirmed to appear in the movie, reprising his role as the new Cap.
