How Captain America For Chris Evans it was the perfect second appearance at Marvel
Looking back, it’s difficult to imagine Chris Evans as anyone other than Captain America. But as fans know, the actor’s journey with the franchise began with his presence as the Human Torch in The fantastic FourThis existing contract almost ruined his chance to join the MCU.
When considerations for the role of Captain America began in 2010, Kevin Feige (via (The Hollywood Reporter) that the franchise was keen to cast only one American actor for obvious reasons. Evans, who was on the original list of possible candidates, was not further considered since he already played a Marvel character in The fantastic Four.
But as fate would have it, despite a pretty impressive selection of actors, Feige and his team were unable to find the perfect partner for Captain America. Ultimately, Marvel turned to Evans again for the role. Feige commented on this journey with the avenger Star and his considerations that led to his final casting.
We thought, “OK, so he’s that character, let’s keep looking.” And when we still didn’t find people, we went back to the original lists. And that brought us back to Chris. And I thought, “Well, Patrick Stewart played Jean-Luc Picard and Charles Xavier. Harrison Ford played Han Solo and Indiana Jones. Who cares?”
William Shakespeare once wrote: ‘All’s well that ends well’, and that was definitely the case with Chris Evans, Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios thanks to this smart decision that brought great success to the franchise.
Avengers: Endgame is streaming on Disney+.
