CAPTAIN AMERICA 3 May Not be Chris Evans' Last Marvel Film After All
There's been a lot of talk about Chris Evans being done portraying Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America after Captain America 3. The actor sparked this discussion himself when he said that he's going to take a break from acting when his contract with Marvel is done and take up directing. The Russo brothers also recently said that Captain America 3 will wrap up the Steve Rogers storyline.
But, it doesn't sound like Evans is ready to give up the shield just yet. In a recent interview with MTV, the actor was asked about Captain America 3 being his last outing as the superhero, to which he replied:
"Who's handing off the shield? Don't take my job from me prematurely dude. I'm sure it'll happen at some point, all good things have to come to an end. But I'm really happy playing the character."
That doesn't sound like a guy ready move on from the Marvel universe to me. It sounds like there's a good chance he could stick around for at least another film or two after Cap 3. Maybe they won't be solo films, but I think he'll be back. He then goes on to talk about what he loves about the Marvel cinematic universe saying:
"It's this giant web of plot, where everything is connected to everything else… that's the beautiful thing and especially for the fanboys who understand these plotlines. With Cap 3, we're going to continue this excitement… Marvel doesn't disappoint. Whatever you're hoping for, you're probably going to get."
Evans has made for a great Captain America, and I'm happy to hear that the third film likely won't be the last that we see of him. Marvel obviously has an ultimate goal for the character, and I'm excited to see where they take him.
