Evans appeared as Captain America (aka Steve Rogers) in 11 Marvel Cinematic Universe titles between 2011 and 2019.
His character, Rogers, put down his shield as a superhero Avengers: Endgame. Due to this storyline, fans are wondering if Evans will also return as Captain America/Steve Rogers, or just Steve Rogers, who no longer holds Captain America’s cape.

You know what you’re getting into and as a result you play defense and you play not to lose. winter soldier It arrived, we played to win.”
He also defended Marvel against criticism from people who like to target superhero movies.
“Comic book movies in general, for whatever reason, don’t always get the credit that I think they deserve,” Evans said during a panel discussion. “They are these big, huge films. There are many cooks in the kitchen. But the empirical evidence is there. They are not easy to prepare.”
The actor added, “If it was easier, there would be a lot better.”
