Chris Evans confirms his leaving MCU after ‘Avengers 4’

Chris Evans is really ready to hang up Cap’s shield after the untitled Avengers 4 movie, that is. The untitled film is said to be the second part of the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War. The news gets confirmed through a New York Times profile on the actor. It says there these two movies are the only ones left on his Marvel contract and he has no further plans to continue playing Captain America. Evans was quoted saying, “You want to get off the train before they push you off.”

This isn’t the first time the actor spoke about leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He said back in June that his contract was up after Infinity War but he signed on for one more film because Avengers 4 is considered to be the sequel of sorts to Infinity War. He said, “They had so many other characters to fit in—Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, Ant Man—and couldn’t get them all into one movie. [I agreed] because it made sense. It’s going to wrap everything up.” What’s next? We might not see much of him as Evans has been quoted in the past saying he wanted to pursue directing. He isn’t the only Marvel superstar looking to hang up their superhero costumes. Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth, or Iron Man and Thor to you, have also spoken about leaving the MCU.
