The recent news of Jake Schreier being hired to direct Marvel Studios’ ‘Thunderbolts’ movie led to a question: the actor Chris Evans will he ever take over the role of Steve Rogers/Captain America?
The actor says he is done with this role, which he performed for the last time in ” Avengers : Endgame “. Also, he closed the door on any possibility of portraying the character once again, as he has said in numerous interviews. During Pixar’s “Buzz Lightyear” promotional tour, he firmly reiterated his decision to give up the role, although he was aware of fans’ desire to see him again as Steve Rogers/Captain America: “Yeah, that seems like something people would like to see. I don’t want to disappoint anyone, but I just don’t know if – you know, it’s hard. It was such a beautiful course and I’m so happy about it, you know, it’s so precious to me. It would have to be perfect.
It would just be scary to, you know, add something that is, again, so – oh, so dear to me, and this role means so much to me. So revisiting it – that would be a tall order”.
In April of last year, it was rumored that ‘Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ showrunner Malcolm Spellman was working on a fourth installment of ‘Captain America’. The story would likely continue that of the series, where Anthony Mackie takes on the role of the new Captain America.
Altogether, the three solo “Captain America” movies have grossed $2.2 billion in worldwide box office receipts.
