With the release of Lightyear right around the corner, Chris Evans, the film's main star, is once again back in the spotlight.
Though the actor sports a pretty impressive resume, his best-known work is portrayal of Steve Rogers in the Captain America and Avengers movies, as well as his other appearances within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But seeing as Steve Rogers is a fan favorite, fans have been hoping Evans will return to the franchise once again. Many fans would be delighted to watch Rogers return the infinity stones.
In a conversation with ComicBook.com's Phase Zero podcast, Evans opened up about how difficult once again taking up the Captain America mantle would be.
"I don't want to disappoint anybody," he says.
He says the character is "precious" to him, adding, "It would have to be perfect." He concludes by saying that returning to the role would be "a tall order."
In 2021, a report stated that Evans would be returning as Captain America, news that seemed to reach Evans last, as he simply tweeted "News to me" in response. This quickly debunked the rumors.
Marvel had previously announced a fourth Captain America movie starring Anthony Mackie, who takes up the mantle during the Disney+ series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Though it doesn't look like we'll see Evans in any MCU projects in any capacity any time soon, it seems that the actor hasn't definitively ruled it out.
Lightyear, which is set to hit theaters this week, is described as, "the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear, the hero who inspired the toy." Chris Evans provides the voice for the titular toy.
Fans will have to wait a few more days before the film's release on June 17th, but early impressions have been nothing but positive, noting that the film is full of surprises.
Be it the MCU, another Disney property, or something totally different altogether, I don't think anyone will be upset with the idea of seeing more Chris Evans.
