While speaking to EW, Chris Evans revealed the following about Captain America and his awakening in present-day America:
“I don’t want to ruin anything, but the few people [Steve Rogers knew] who may be alive are probably in their 80’s, and for the most part, everyone is gone,” Evans says. “He never had much family before, but anyone he could possibly consider close has gone by the wayside.”
If there’s one word that describes Cap in The Avengers, Evans says it would be “lonely.”
“Who does he have in the world? Nobody,” Evans says. “Rogers is kind of defined by is his morals and values. In the ‘40s there was much more of value on those things. Things are a little more impersonal these days. It just lends itself to his sense of isolation.”
Based on those statements, I think it's a safe bet that one Cap's war-time buddies, maybe one of The Howling Commandos, may show up in the film, albeit as a very old man. Who do you think it might be or wish it to be?
The Avengers is an upcoming American superhero film produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name.
