Chris Evans, best known for his role in the MCU, recently addressed rumors that he will be returning to his role as Captain America.

When it comes to the great heroes in the Marvel Cinematic, the one on the forefround of everyone’s mind is the big six: Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, and Black Widow.

Captain America was first introduced in a live-action capacity for the mainstream in 2011 with his first solo movie which then spawned two follow-up sequels.

However, he then met his demise in the final movie in the MCU’s Infinity Saga — 2019’s Avengers: Endgame — and now Chris Evans, the actor behind the mask, has revealed if he will be returning to the role.

Evans hasn’t heard any news about returning to the MCU

During an appearance on The View to promote his partnership with Jinx, pet food company, one of the hosts highlighted Evans time as Captain America.

When asked if he or his former co-stars could potentially return to their iconic roles, Evans said, “You know, I always see those reports too, and it’s news to me. I think every couple months, someone says that they’re getting Downey, and Hemsworth, and Scarlet [Johansson], and everyone’s coming back!”

Evans added, “No one’s spoken to me about it. And look, I would never say never, but I really — I’m very protective. It’s a very precious role to me, so it would have to be just right.”

Evans hasn’t completely written off being Captain America as a whole as during a panel at C2E2 in Chicago, he expressed that there was more of Steve Rogers’ story to tell.

“It’s tough, because look, I love that role deeply. He means so much to me, and I really do. I think there’s more Steve Rogers stories to tell, sure,” Evans stated.

“But at the same time, I’m very, very precious with it. I’d become, you know, it’s like this little shiny thing that I have that I love so much, and I just don’t want to mess up in any way, and I was a part of something that was so special for the special period of time and in a way, it landed really well.”
