Chris Evans is n’t too eager   about the idea of return to theMarvel Cinematic Universeas Steve Rogers / Captain America , but he wo n’t rule it out either . As the Infinity Saga came to a close in the Joe and Anthony Russo - directedAvengers : Endgame , it also label the ending of the journey for some of the universe ’s most darling heroes . However , unlike Scarlett Johansson ’s Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow andRobert Downey Jr. ’s Tony Stark / Iron Man , the Star Spangled Avenger actually survived the Thanos ( Josh Brolin ) debacle and lived a full life with Peggy Carter ( Hayley Atwell ) .

Steve ’s ending was made possible thanks to the the same technology that allowed the Avengers to move back in metre to collect all six Infinity Stones before Thanos got a appreciation of them inAvengers : Infinity War . After returning the primary crystallization to their original time preferences , he decide to return to the late forties and reunify with Peggy . depend on who ’s asked , this either create an alternate MCU timeline or a petty Captain America mess about around since 2011 . irrespective of what ’s supposedly canyon , it was arguably the good way to cap off the character ’s story .

This is also one of the primary reasons the role player   is n’t jumping on the theory of come back to the MCU and reprise his beloved quality . During the latest instalment ofVariety’s“Variety Studio : Actors on Actors,”Evans ( who ’s promotingKnives Out ) sat down with his fellow Marvel alum Johansson ( although she still hasBlack Widowin the line ) , where she asked him about his intellection on stepping back into Captain America ’s shoes in the future . And while he cites the fact that he ’s getting too quondam for play a very physical purpose , he also wants to preserve the end that Steve got inEndgame .

" Everything click when I get up . Recovery is not the same . You never say never . I love the character . I do n’t know . …   It ’s not a hard no , but it ’s not an eager yes either . There are other matter that I ’m function on right now . I think Cap had such a tricky bit to stick the landing place , and I think they did a really nice chore letting him complete his journey . If you ’re going to revisit it , it ca n’t be a cash grab . It ca n’t be just because the audience require to be excited . What are we let on ? What are we add to the account ? A lot of things would have to come together . …   It does n’t finger , at this clip , that would be a thing . …   It ’d be a ignominy to sour that . I ’m very protective of it . It was such a precious time , and jumping onto the movie was a terrific prospect to me . I said no a bunch of time , and there ’s a million and one way it could have go wrong . It almost feels like peradventure we should let this one sit . "

Even with his clean apprehensions , Evans is n’t ruling out the estimation - especially if Marvel Studios is able to find a story that genuinely calls for him to reprise the role . turn over that he ’s technically a centenarian in the elementary MCU timeline , chance are that any appearances in future narrative wo n’t require him to perform rigorous conflict sequences , in effect addressing the actor ' concerns about doing them . However , if there ’s anyunexplored Captain America narrativefans desire to see the most at this point , it ’s the long time he live with Peggy . There ’s a unattackable assumption there , although whether or not that ’s in the cards for the universe remains to be watch .

In any case , it ’s likely for the best to hold off any program of bringing back Evans as Rogers in theMarvel Cinematic Universe . Like the expiry of Tony Stark , having them return   in any capacitance in the universe will more likely degrade their respective send - offs inEndgame . For Captain America in finicky , the mantle has already been officially pass to Sam Wilson ( Anthony Mackie ) any way , and having Evans   back will arguably make it more difficult to establish the new version of the hero . That being said , if in age down the route , the actor is up for a nostalgic cameo , it ’s good to accept that everyone   would be excited about that .
