Captain America was brought to life on screen by Hollywood star Chris Evans who embodied every nuance of the celebrated superhero to perfection. Through his lengthy association with the Marvel franchise, Evans played Captain America in 3 standalone films and was an integral part of the Avengers in the Infinity Saga. With the final installment Avengers: Endgame, Evans hung up his boots as Captain America with an elderly Steve Rogers passing on the mantle to Sam Wilson aka Falcon, played by Anthony Mackie.
Chris Evans spoke about the emotions he went through during the last scenes of Avengers:Endgame and how the finality of his association with Marvel Studios hit him during the filming. But it was Evans’ mother who broke down on seeing her son on screen for another valid personal reason.
Chris Evans’ Uncanny Resemblance To His Grandfather Shook His Mom
In the final moments of Avengers: Endgame, Steve Rogers aka Captain America opted to travel back to the 1940s to live out his dream life with S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Peggy Carter. Returning as an old man to the present day, Rogers passed on his shield and symbolically his mantle to Sam Wilson aka Falcon. This scene touched emotional chords with audiences and fans who realized that they will not see their beloved Captain America again.
But Chris Evans’ mother was affected by the final moments of the film for a completely different reason. It was reported that the actor’s mom burst into tears on seeing her son transformed into an old man on screen because he bore a startling resemblance to her father, Chris Evans’ maternal grandfather, Andrew Capuano, who worked at the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. Seeing her son on screen brought back many nostalgic and unforgettable memories of times with her father.
Will Chris Evans Return To The MCU?
After officially handing over his legacy to Falcon, Steve Rogers aka Captain America ended his journey as an Avenger in Avengers: Endgame. With this culmination, Chris Evans too said goodbye to his association with the character. While the next installment in the Captain America series will see Anthony Mackie wielding the shield, there are speculations about a possible cameo appearance from Chris Evans that Marvel might incorporate into the narrative. The star though detailed the reasons why this may not happen.
“I just don’t want to mess up in any way, and I was a part of something that was so special for the special period of time and in a way, it really landed so well. As much as I’m connected to that role and love telling those stories and working with those people, it doesn’t quite feel right right now”.
As for the plot line of Captain America: New World Order, the film will likely focus on Sam Wilson trying to prove himself worthy of being called the new Captain America while attempting to adjust to the pressures that come with the title.
