AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Star Chris Evans May Not Be Willing To Remain On As CAPTAIN AMERICA After All
Chris Evans recently made some comments which gave fans hope that we could see him suit up as the star-spangled Avenger well into Phase 4, but he's now made it clear that "nothing lasts forever."
We all know that Chris Evans' contract with Marvel Studios is nearing an end and the actor has gone back and fore on whether or not he'll be staying on as Steve Rogers/Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He recently provided something of a positive update on that but in a new interview with USA Today appears to have backtracked somewhat on his future as the hero.
"I’d be lying if I said it wouldn’t be hard for me," Evans admitted when asked about moving on from the role. "But the passing of time and the passing of torches is part of the experience. Nothing lasts forever. There’s a beauty in that departure, even if it can be sad at times. It’s also joyful. I’ve had a great run. Superheroes are reinventable entities, like Batman or even James Bond. These movies find new incarnations and new ways to tell the story. I am all for it. However they want to proceed after ‘Avengers 4,’ it’s really up to them. I walk away with no regrets and endlessly thankful."
There's a very good chance that what we're seeing here is Evans essentially negotiating his new contract in public. It's obvious fanswant him to stay on as Captain America, while the fact he's starred in a series of highly successful solo movies and is part of The Avengers franchise gives him tremendous bargaining power when it comes to getting a new deal from Marvel which will increase his earnings!
We'll have to wait and see how things pan out - we don't even know if Cap survives Avengers: Infinity War - but you can let us know what you'd like to see from the hero's future in the comments section.
