Incredible body transformations have become a lot more prevalent in the acting industry since the Marvel Cinematic Universe came in and revolutionized the superhero genre, as exceptional and tough as they are. Heroes now are expected to not only perform at their best but also to appear as comic-book figures with well-defined muscles. In the 2011 film Captain America: The First Avenger, Chris Evans too had to go through a drastic body transformation from a skinny boy to a swole supersoldier.

The last time viewers witnessed the hero, he had just given up his shield to Anthony Mackie’s Captain America and returned all of the Infinity Stones. Not to mention the fact that Rogers had become a grandfather in the process. Thanks to the team’s experience with time travel, Avengers: Endgame offers a built-in technique to de-age the legendary hero back to his golden days. Evans should start mentally preparing himself to regain those pounds since it’s only a matter of time.
