Chris Evans’ Obsession WithCaptain America
It was certainly not easy to build a character to the expectations of fans and the MCU had the big responsibility to forge Steve Rogers. ForChris Evans, he did not have a lot on his plate while developing the character for screen but he has become fond of it and has been possessive and protective of the character.“You want to see how the fans see him, you know,”Evans toldGQ.
“What I mean anytime I’ve heard about movies that are being made or remade something that’s dear to me you realize how protective and possessive you are over that role and you want to make sure the person playing the character respects that perspective and isn’t just like well you know I know they know the character but this is my time and I’m gonna do my thing that’s stumbling right out of the gate so first step attempt to understand why other people like them and honor it as best you can.”
Certainly, the First Avengerhas shaped the very foundation of the $29 billion Marvel Cinematic Universe following the lead ofIron Man. Evans’ trilogy itself is worth over $2.2 billion. However, the over-possession of a character sometimes could lead to certain hazards and the actor warned about it to other stars.

Chris Evans’ Measured Pros And Cons of Playing Captain America
Evans has been marvelous in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but before wearing Steve Rogers’ jacket, the actor was quite confused as he measured the pros and cons of the role.“I was really apprehensive about taking the role initially,”Evans toldGQ.
“I remember in my late 20s having a real shift in how I felt on set, how I felt promoting films: a little more anxiety, a little more uncertainty. You always end up questioning, Is this what I should be doing? I just wasn’t sure if I was moving closer to myself or further away. And something inside me kept saying that I was getting further away—that something about this industry wasn’t healthy.”
The very idea of playing the role and the possible extended future was worrisome for the actor, it did take a toll on him. He said no to the role a few times until he finally nodded but measured the pros and cons pretty well.“The pros were that I’d be able to take care of my family forever; the cons were that I would become deeply, deeply unhappy with fame and loss of control,”Evans said. Pros overpowered the cons and the actor played the modern superhero icon.
