'Captain America: Civil War' News: Chris Evans Has One More Movie Left In Multi-Picture Contract
Chris Evans will reprise Steve Rogers for the fourth time in the upcoming "Captain America: Civil War," which will debut new characters Spider-Man and Black Panther.
While the upcoming film is set to introduce new character to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it also brings Chris Evans nearer to the end of his multi-picture contract with the studio.
Sources state that the "Snowpiercer" star's contract with Marvel ends with "the Avengers: Infinity War" in 2018. However, the actor claims that he's more than willing to carry Captain America's shield for a few more installments if the studio asks.
The 34-year-old actor sat down with Collider to shed light on the topic.
"Listen, if Marvel wants me they got me. I've never had such a relationship where you have such - I mean look at my resume, I'm used to being on set being like, 'Ah is this movie gonna be terrible?' Marvel just can't stop making great movies, they do it in their sleep," Evans explained. "It's wonderful directors and producers and actors and scripts, and it's like a playground as an actor."
"It's so mind-boggling that I was so tentative in the beginning to jump onboard," he added. "What an asshole I would be if I hadn't done this. I mean can you imagine? Kicking myself - I'd never forgive myself!"
Whether or not the actor will renew his contract remains to be seen. If he does, it is speculated that either Falcon or The Winter Soldier will replace him since both characters have done so in the original comic book.
Chris Evans plays the title role in "Captain America: Civil War," which also stars Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Chadwick Boseman, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Frank Grillo, Paul Rudd, Emily VanCamp, Don Cheadle and William Hurt.
The movie releases on May 6, 2016.
