CAPTAIN AMERICA Star Chris Evans Clears Up Confusion Over The Future Of His Career

A lot of people think the whole retiring from acting thing (now debunked, I suppose), combined with Sebastian Stan's 9 film commitment, means it's a given that Bucky is going to take over as Captain America soon...but I seriously doubt that's going to happen. At least, not anytime soon.

First, the reason Stan has 9 films compared to Evans' 6 is simply because Evans is a more established, A-list actor with much more negotiation power. Marvel and his agent had to strike a deal that was more fair to both sides. Stan, on the other hand, pretty much had to accept whatever deal Marvel threw his way. It was a business decision, plain and simple. He'll be in those 9 films IF and only if Marvel wants him to. Nothing is a given at this point.

And second, I just don't see the logic in it. Replace perhaps one of the most recognizable Avengers with a 2nd tier actor and expect him to lead potentially his own trilogy of movies? Really? I just don't see that happening, mostly because most audiences wouldn't exactly respond well to that. What works in the comics doesn't necessarily work in the films. But if I'm wrong, I'll happily eat these words.

I heard he almost hate working out so much so I hope he ends up being just a Nick Fury type of character and Stan takes his place as Cap. Same with RDJ if he doesn't want to continue. Hemsworth is the only one saying he will be Thor forever.

Shocker.

All these people saying that TWS is better than TDK and the Avengers... I'll have to see it to believe it, these are pretty big words!!

Exactly. They originally wanted to get 9 films out of him, but he couldn't commit to that many.

As I keep pointing out, there's several actors who have multi-picture contracts. It doesn't mean Tim Roth will ever come back, or that Marvel has a plan for him to return. It just means they CAN bring him back if they find a future use for his character.

I always point out, Ed Norton and Terence Howard STILL have contracts with Marvel. Doesn't mean anything beyond the option possibility.

Also, like you, I keep pointing out how I don't expect the Captain death/Bucky fill in story either. I really don't expect general audiences to turn up for a Bucky Cap movie, and I'd be shocked if Marvel did either. Yes, they'll have to replace Evans eventually, but probably with someone who kinda looks the part and is more recognizable.

That host is sexy as hell. Yummy

Are you speaking from experience? I always imagined an actor's life, as ridicously tough as it is, to be less stressful than a director's...


As for Evans taking a break from acting for the director's chair...I'm interested to see how that turns out...though it's a shame won't see him on screen for a while...thought he was great in Cap2, The Iceman and Snowpiercer....

The way he freaked over the pizza... Lol

My girlfriend made me sniff some new detergent she's trying out, and asked me what I thought. I said "babe, the day I believe my opinion actually matters in these things is the day I willingly spend more than five minutes with your mother without the aid of alcohol".

Screencap that too.

Sure thing, batz!! I manscaped just for you.

Thanks for clearing that up Chris.

@soto

Congrats on 'Vigilante'. Must be satisfying, after a stressful process, for the finished product having a positive reaction. Be interesting to see what you achieve with a bigger budget on your next project. When completed, If CBM related, you should post a trailer in Fanfic or something. Be interesting to have a look!

Oh and yeah I know what it's like to have a brother...have an older one myself....the "successful businessman" of the family. Though he is supportive of my decision to be an actor, rather than work behind a desk, he told me "if all else fails with the acting, you can always be my pool cleaner" hahaha brotherly love

I like Evans as cap, and thin' he's a good actor. As a matter of fact, if any of you haven' seen "Cellular", it's actually pretty good also.
