CAPTAIN AMERICA Actor Chris Evans Would Have Loved To Play SPIDER-MAN...Minus The Mask

Chris Evans starred in more MCU films than any other actor, but he's now admitted that Spider-Man is a role he would have taken over Captain America...if it wasn't for the claustrophobic mask!

Chris Evans' tenure as Captain America is now legendary, and though his story concluded in Avengers: Endgame, fans remain hopeful he could one day reprise the role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As of now, it's doubtful, but stranger things have happened courtesy of Marvel Studios.

In the meantime, Evans continues to reflect on his time as a superhero, and dropped something of a bombshell in an interview with STYLE about Spider-Man, not Captain America, being his childhood hero.

"I would have loved doing scenes like attaching myself to the sides of buildings and trying to spring from one building to the next," Evans said. "But I would have hated to wear Spider-Man’s mask. I’m very claustrophobic, and I doubt whether I could have worn that kind of full suit and mask for hours a day on a set. I much prefer my Captain America outfit, which I think is cooler anyway!"

Evans played the Human Torch before joining the MCU as Captain America, but it's difficult to imagine him decked out in Spider-Man's costume, especially after seeing him play Cap for such a long time. 

Here's hoping a talented fan-artist out there now puts Evans in Tom Holland's Spider-Man costume! Well, minus the mask, as that's clearly not something the actor is fully on board with.

I think it would be funny to see Evans’ Johnny Storm meet Evans’ Capt America.

OBVIOUSLY that wouldn’t happen. But its good to dream.

He’s too big broad and buff to be Spider-Man. Spider-Man’s are typically much slimmer actors.

I love that Evans wears the Cap mask when he's asked to. It's part of the suit.

Hemsworth can't be convinced to wear the Thor helmet for more than a few seconds at a time. And Holland is always "losing" the mask in his films (pretty much all Spidey films).

@TheManWithoutFear - Still annoys me to this day that they didn't keep that glorious helmet he had in the first movie.

Grateful the Russo Bros for the most part of having Cap keeping his helmet on throughout most of the movies. Especially the final fights of Civil War and Endgame.

@Superspecialawesomeguy - possibly an unpopular opinion but I loved the Ragnarok version of the helmet. Resembled the classic but I liked the scrappy, retro-futuristic look of it.

Would've been really cool if, when he went full Viking God mode at the end of Endgame, he got a helmet there too - even if it got knocked off during the battle.

He should have been wearing this more often.

"I doubt whether I could have worn that kind of full suit and mask for hours a day"

Don't worry Holland never wears it either. Guy just gives his identity away for no reason sometimes.

@Nightwing1015 -

I hate that his identity is known to everybody. Go through two of your own movies and everyone knows who the [frick] you are.

Might as well just ditch the suit and just go out with web shooters at this point.

.......off subject, everytime I see this scene, I just think about how Carol Danvers was seducing Peter in the midst of battle.

“Hey Peter Parker!! 😉

.....ya got something for me??”

I guess it wouldn't have mattered, as in my memory I rarely see superheroes wear any headpiece or masks whatsoever. I'm glad they kept Cap wearing his, although I kinda feel sorry for Evans having to wear it if he doesn't like it, because I think Cap's helmet is one of the coolest headpieces in the MCU (closely followed by Thor's arena helmet)

Guess he would have liked to play this version of Spidey then.

That's something I didn't like about Whedon. Always pulling off Cap's mask.

@CplHicks - Except that the Russo's had him unmasked for most of the Winter Soldier. The thing I didn't like is his man cancelling suit he had in the Avengers.

It still bothers me that Cap, who has no secret identity, wore a mask and Hawkeye, who has a secret family (that one assumes he might like to take out into public on occasion) never did.

@Chewtoy - It bothers me that the super spy organization puts their brand on everything they own.
