Looking back at the Avengers franchise, it’s hard to imagine anyone in the role of Captain America other than Chris Evans. As excited as are to watch Anthony Mackie take over the role, it is still going to be strange seeing someone other than Evans carrying the famous shield.

It is almost as if Evans was born to play the role, and yet in a recent interview, Chris’ mother said that he very nearly turned down the opportunity.

“His biggest fear was losing his anonymity,” Lisa Capuano Evans told Esquire. “He said, ‘I have a career now where I can do work I really like. I can walk my dog. Nobody bothers me. Nobody wants to talk to me. I can go wherever I want. And the idea of losing that is terrifying to me.’”

She continued: “I said to him, ‘Look, you want to do acting work for the rest of your life? If you do this part, you will have the opportunity. You’ll never have to worry about paying the rent. If you take the part, you just have to decide, It’s not going to affect my life negatively — it will enable it.’”

Fortunately, Lisa managed to convince her son to take on the role and not worry about losing his anonymity. To think that we may have spent the last ten years watching somebody else as Captain America is a strange thought.

The actor has served as Captain America since 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger. He has since played the superhero in two more eponymous Marvel features as well as in all three released Avengers movies.

As filming for the second part of Avengers: Infinity War draws to a close, Chris Evans has now confirmed that he has officially filmed his final scenes. He shared the following on Twitter:

“Officially wrapped on Avengers 4. It was an emotional day to say the least. Playing this role over the last 8 years has been an honor. To everyone in front of the camera, behind the camera, and in the audience, thank you for the memories! Eternally grateful.”

Fans responded kindly to the news, thanking Evans for his commitment to the role.

One user tweeted: “Not a perfect soldier, but a good man. The best part of my heart. Thank you Cap.”

Another said: “It’s been an honor having you as our captain and it always will be. We love you.”

The final installment of the Avengers and the final time we will witness Chris Evans as Captain America will be released May 2019.
