Chris Evans is open to carrying Captain America's shield beyond Avengers: Infinity War, he says in a new interview, if Marvel is interested in him returning. "I think it's almost like high school. You're kind of always looking ahead, about when you'll graduate, but then when graduation day arrives you kind of don't want to leave," Evans said. "I AM gonna try and focus on directing a bit more, but by no means am I done acting. And if they'd have me back, yeah, I'd probably consider it."
Elsewhere in the article, Evans indicated he has become more comfortable in the role and will be sad to see it come to an end. "It sounds silly to say this but it really is growing on me," he said. "It's kind of at the point where you're almost sad to see the end coming around the corner in the next couple of years."
Last year, while promoting Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Evans was quoted by Variety as saying he was ready to leave acting behind at the end of his six-film contract with Marvel. In that article, he was asked when he expected to be done with the role. At the time, Evans said: "I bet by 2017, I’ll be done. That sounds so far away."
