What does the future hold for Chris Evans and the Marvel Cinematic Universe ? If rumors are true , the player has beenready to beseem up as Captain America again for over a year . He himself has deny that , and Marvel Studios does n’t address rumour , but in a new interviewthe man behind the shieldwarmed up to an even more irregular getting even to the MCU .
Back in 2005 , years before the Marvel Cinematic Universe would truly take off , Evans act Johnny Storm , one of the phallus of the Fantastic Four , in a Fantastic Four movie . He then reprize the office in 2007 ’s sequel , Fantastic Four : ascension of the Silver Surfer which , again , predated the current MCU . However , with Phase Four now in full swing and the multiverse opening up unnumerable possibilities , we ’ve already consider several actor repay as their pre - MCU function ( such as Patrick Stewart as Professor X in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness and Tobey Maguire as Spider - Man in Spider - Man : No Way Home ) so Evans was asked about not returning as Cap , but returning as Johnny .
“ Look , I would love it . I would love it , ” Evanssaid to MTV News . “ That would in reality be an easier sell to me than coming back as Cap . You know what I have in mind ? Cap is so cute to me . And you know , I almost do n’t wanna interrupt what a beautiful experience that was . But Johnny Storm , I feel like he did n’t really get his 24-hour interval . That was before Marvel really found its footing . So , I sleep with that role and , you know , who cognise ? ”

As play as the idea sounds though , there are two big egress . One , there ’s a Fantastic Four movie already in the whole shebang and two , no one has ever asked Evans about it . “ God , would n’t that be large ? ” Evans added . “ No , no one ’s ever add up to me about that . I have in mind , I do n’t on the dot attend the same anymore . That was 15 , almost 20 geezerhood ago . Oh my God , I ’m old . But I really love that fictitious character , but I think … are n’t they doing something now with Fantastic Four ? ” Here ’s the full interview , with the above quote about 8 minute in .
Having play Captain America through several movies and multiple years , Evans is very veteran when it come to answering these kinds of questions . That said , the fact he ’s so unforced to entertain this theory is almost proof itself that it would never happen . It seems much more plausible we ’d see him as Captain America returning all the Infinity Stones , or in some capacityin the floor of the Modern Captain America , Sam Wilson ( Anthony Mackie ) . peculiarly because he ’s not verbalise about those thing . But hey , why not both ?
Evans can currently be heard in Pixar ’s Lightyear . We ’ll next see him in Netflix ’s The Gray Man , directed by his Avengers : Endgame directors , the Russos Brothers .
