Chris Evans Reveals If He Would Extend His Marvel Contract Post-AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR
We've just heard the star express a little angst to say goodbye to his Captain America role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Chris Evans has now discussed the possibility of extending his contract.
It remains to be seen whether or not Marvel has plans for Chris Evans' Captain America after he appears in the two-part Avengers: Infinity War event, but the actor recently admitted to feeling "almost" terrified now that his six-pic contract is nearing fulfillment. Well, even though Evans has previously expressed desires to pursue other filmmaking endeavors beyond the Marvel Universe, the actor has now revealed that he is willing to renew, or extend, his contract with Marvel Studios.
“Listen, if Marvel wants me they got me,” said Evans. “I’ve never had such a relationship where you have such—I mean look at my resume, I’m used to being on set being like, ‘Ah is this movie gonna be terrible?’ Marvel just can’t stop making great movies, they do it in their sleep. It’s wonderful directors and producers and actors and scripts, and it’s like a playground as an actor.”
After confirming that he will appear in both parts of the Infinity War, Evans then recalled how he was initially uncertain about signing on for The First Avenger. “It’s so mind-boggling that I was so tentative in the beginning to jump onboard,” he said. “What an asshole I would be if I hadn’t done this. I mean can you imagine? Kicking myself—I’d never forgive myself!” What do you think?
Directed by Anthony & Joe Russo from a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely, Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain. Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Chadwick Boseman, Emily VanCamp, Daniel Brühl, Frank Grillo, William Hurt, and Martin Freeman, Captain America: Civil War is set for release on May 6, 2016.
