Picture this: Chris Evans, cape in hand, stands on the Endgame set—with ten years of superhero glory! Having suited up in The First Avenger in 2011, Evans wrapped up his run in 2019. That last day? It is like prom meets graduation, complete with feels. “It’s like graduating school,” he said, feeling time slip away. “You feel it went by way too quick… It’s life-changing.” Playing Captain America flipped his world upside down, making him a global icon battling Thanos. What a ride!
Let’s not forget when Cap lifted Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir—and turned the tide against the Mad Titan. Evans couldn’t help but geek out over the sheer epicness of it all. “Most of the scenes in Endgame, you’re fully aware of what you got to be a part of,” he reflected. It was a grand finale, and he was living his superhero dream, surrounded by a cast of legends. But when the filming wrapped up, it hit him hard. “Wow, we’re wrapping in a couple of weeks, and I’m putting the shield down,” he recalled. It wasn’t just a movie but a chunk of his life.
Rumors of a Captain America return have danced around like a catchy pop song you can’t shake off. Evans teased, “I’ll never say never,” but he also threw in a disclaimer: he’s “very precious” about the role. No half-baked reboots for him! He wants to keep the legacy intact, and can you blame him? Right now, the shields are firmly in the hands of Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, who’s set to take center stage in Brave New World next summer. Talk about a significant power shift!
