Captain America: Civil War star Chris Evans initially turned down the role of the Star-Spangled Avenger when Marvel Studios came knocking. In fact, he turned them down on more that one occasion. He did so, because he was reluctant to sign a 9-picture deal and later find out in the middle of it that he wasn’t happy. He would then be contractually obligated to stick it out, which is a reasonable fear. Luckily, Evans put his fears aside, signed the contract, enjoyed the Marvel experience, and the rest is history.
Now that his Marvel contract is nearing completion, is he open to re-upping it?

“There is no re-upping yet. I was just saying in my last interview that it’s so funny thinking about how fast time has moved,” Evans told Collider. “We started this in 2010 and six years (snaps finger) has gone in a blink of an eye. In the beginning, it was so terrifying and now you’re almost scared to … I’m scared to walk away. I’m scared to not have one of these (Marvel movie) coming. These past six years there’s always been, ‘Next year we start that one.’ And it’s been wonderful, especially because the movies are so good. When you make good movies, who wants to stop doing that? So, I don’t know. We’ll see. I know in the comic books that the shield gets passed off. And what you do know, more than anything else in this process — meeting fans, experiencing these junkets and people who love the character — the character is bigger than you and whatever the character needs, whatever Marvel needs for that arc, I’m willing to do. So if that is me passing it off, you pass it off. But if they want to make more, I’m ready.”
