Chris Evans discusses the end of Captain America
It’s been seven years since the 35-year-old star took up the iconic star-spangled shield.
Having led three Captain America movies and two Avengers outings, Evans is about to take on Avengers Infinity War in two parts.
However it turns out he could have said no to the second because his contract had ended, yet he admits was still up for the challenge.
Speaking with The Telegraph, he said: “I had six films in my Marvel contract, so I could have said after the third Avengers I was done.”

He continued: “But they wanted to make the third and fourth Avengers films as a two-parter.
“They said they had so many other characters to fit in – Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, Ant Man – and couldn’t get them all into one movie.”
But when it came to his reason for hanging on, the Captain America star’s answer may prick up more than a few fan ears.
He added: “[I agreed] because it made sense. It’s going to wrap everything up.”

What could this mean? Obviously to a certain extent Avengers Infinity War wraps up the first saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, made up of three phases over a decade.
However, fans will know that Cap died in the Civil War comic book storyline.
Could defeating Thanos come at the ultimate cost for Captain America? Fans will just have to wait and see.
Avengers: Infinity War will be released in UK cinemas on April 27, 2018, while Avengers 4 will follow on April 26, 2019.
