Chris Evans admits he misses making films like Captain America

After the premiere of ‘Avengers: Endgame’, Chris Evans hasn’t returned to play Captain America, but he hasn’t stopped working in the cinema either. Since he left the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the actor has worked on films such as “The Invisible Agent” and even voiced the iconic Buzz Lightyear in “Lightyear”. Additionally, he was recently named by People magazine as the sexiest man of 2022. However, it seems none of this was able to fill the void left in his heart by stopping playing Steve Rogers in the MCU.

During an interview with People, the actor admitted that he misses playing Captain America. Despite giving Anthony Mackie position and shield, it seems the superhero’s shadow is following him. “Oh my God, you’d be a real idiot if you didn’t enjoy yourself. You get paid to take care of yourself and be a superhero. That’s what you dream of doing when you’re a kid. Backyard pretending to be a cartoon character.”Evans explained.

The actor assured that his role as one of the MCU’s most beloved superheroes was the best thing that has happened to him in his life. “Getting ready for these films and immersing myself in them has been one of the greatest joys of my life. They are challenging, but the beauty is that they are great films where every effort is rewarded. It was a wonderful and very symbiotic relationship, I really enjoyed doing it. When the movies finish, you’re happy to be able to take a break, but you miss them right away. I miss them right now. But I am very grateful and very happy to have been a part of them. “

On the other hand, Evans explained that he didn’t want to classify his decision to abandon Captain America as right or wrong. However, the actor acknowledged that after playing this Marvel superhero, “It ended up being the best decision of my life.” “I can’t imagine what my life would have been like without him. But if you get lost in this, you can miss what’s going on right now. The real goal in life, it’s a bit of a cliché, but it’s staying in the present. and, I think, analyzing the past or worrying about the future takes you out of the now and is probably not the healthiest option “, the actor reflected.

freedom of choice

Chris Evans has been in the film industry for years, playing a variety of roles, but now he says he feels ready and confident to relax a bit in his profession. “Right now, the funniest aspect of my career is feeling confident enough to take my foot off the gas. I feel like I have a little more freedom to step away from the industry and find projects that satisfy my creative appetite when I’ll be back. “Evans explained.
