Chris Evans would return as Captain America if it was “perfect”

Marvel lets go of character very reluctantly. Iron Man and Black Widow died in Avengers: Endgame, but only after actors Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson were well and truly ready to move on from the MCU, and even then we still got a whole Black Widow movie afterwards. And honestly, I wouldn’t count out seeing either of them again, when the time is right.

And then there’s Captain America, played by Chris Evans. Unlike Iron man and Black Widow, he didn’t actually die in Endgame, but rather went back to the 1940s and lived out the life he would have lived had he not been frozen and thawed out 70 years later. So he’s out of the game, but still very much alive.

Does that mean we’ll see Evans return as the Star-Spangled Man at some point? Clearly, the possibility has occurred to him. “That seems to be something people would like to see,” the actor told ComicBook.com. “I don’t want to disappoint anybody but it’s tough to… It was such a good run and I’m so happy with it. It’s so precious to me. It would have to be perfect. It just would be scary to rattle something that is, again, so, so dear to me. That role means so much to me. So, to revisit it, it would be a tall order.”

Start the countdown now.

No one was there to live stream the final battle of Endgame, Kevin Feige confirms

But that’s a movie for the future. Right now, Marvel fans are abuzz about Ms. Marvel, the newest MCU series airing on Disney+. It stars Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, an Avengers-obsessed teenager who gets superpowers from a family heirloom.

For this show, the producers had to figure out how Kamala and the rest of the world knew about the climactic events of Endgame. They eventually came up with the idea that Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man, revealed the details on a podcast, which does sound like something he’d do. But as executive producer Bisha K. Ali explained the The Wrap, that wasn’t their first idea:

"At one point, like early days before we kind of expanded the creative team out, I was like, ‘[Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige], what if there was like, drones and a live stream of the battle of ‘Endgame?” And he was like, ‘Bisha, no.’ I’m like, there wasn’t one Twitch streamer around for the final battle of ‘Endgame?’ Are we kidding? I think I lost my mind at that point, try to solve this riddle. So it was really a big iterative journey. And it was something that kind of changed and moved all the way through. And I think it must have been a Sana [Amanat, co-creator of the ‘Ms. Marvel’ comics] pitch by the end. Or it might even — I actually have no idea where that idea came from. But when we kind of integrated it into the script, I think it was perfect. It was characterful."

You can always count on Keven Feige to have his finger on the pulse of everything in the MCU. I guess that final battle would have been a pretty dangerous environment for drones.
