Chris Evans Hints Captain America’s Death in ‘Avengers 4’
As fans are clamoring for the first look at Marvel’s next Avengers film, The Avengers: Infinity War, Chris Evans dropped some sad and shocking hints: his character may not survive the battle.
Speaking with Cinema Blend, Evans admitted that he was initially afraid the Captain America films would be good. The star revealed, “One of my biggest fears was that the movies were going to be good.”
The Snowpiercer star explained that he chose to extend his contract for Captain America for both Avengers: Infinity War and its sequel, because “it made sense” and it is going to wrap everything up.
“I had six films in my Marvel contract, so I could have said after the third Avengers I was done, but they wanted to make the third and fourth Avengers films as a two-parter,” Evans said. “They said they had so many other characters to fit in… and couldn’t get them all into one movie. [I agreed] because it made sense. It’s going to wrap everything up.”
Evans went on to explain, “Because if things worked out, I’d have to do all six of them. And at the time, that was the most terrifying aspect of it. That it was going to be so dominating, all-encompassing.”
Could Evans return and pull off a film similar to Hugh Jackman’s Logan?
“It’s not really up to me. My contract is up. I’m not going to sit here and say, ‘No more.’ I think Hugh Jackman has made 47 Wolverine movies, and they somehow keep getting better.”
Avengers 4 is due to be released on May 3, 2019.
Up first is Infinity War:As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
