Avengers: Endgame has been out in theaters for over a month, but the Internet content surrounding the Marvel Cinematic Universe film in still coming out in full force. The latest hilarious trend to hit social media is the Avengers cast with acrylic nails. The trend resurfaced when Chris Evans, the actor best down for playing Steve Rogers/Captain America in the MCU, "caught flack" for not knowing what Black Twitter was. (In case you don't know, Black Twitter was once described by Feminista Jones as "a collective of active, primarily African-American Twitter users who have created a virtual community that participates in continuous real-time conversations.") According to Allure, the initial acrylic nails thread was started by @WrittenByHanna. However, Evans himself ended up sharing the following thread by @mira_a5.
