Chris Evans opened up about why he was hesitant to take on the role of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise.In an interview with Vanity Fair, Evans admitted he feared that his career would be over after taking on the Marvel role. While filming the 2011 movie Captain America: The First Avenger, which was the fifth MCU film, the actor detailed how he felt. “This is it. I just signed my death warrant; my life’s over. I can’t believe I did this. This isn’t the career I wanted,” he said. “The biggest thing I was worried about was making sh*tty f**king movies. I don’t want to make sh*tty movies and be contractually obligated to make garbage.” Evans’ fears were eased when he realized the Captain America movies were good.Evans’ fear may have been justified as his first entry into portraying a Marvel character was the widely panned Fantastic Four and its sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer. Evans went on to play Steve Rogers / Captain America ten times in numerous blockbuster hits including Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, the latter of which is the highest-grossing superhero movie of all time. The Fantastic Four and his MCU movies are not his only roles adapted from comic books and graphic novels, he also portrayed Casey Jones in TMNT, taking on the character of Jake Jensen in The Losers, playing Lucas Lee in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and embodying Curtis Everett in Snowpiercer.RELATED: Chris Evans Agrees With Quentin Tarantino’s Controversial Take on Marvel Movies
