A total of eight films produced by Marvel Studios present himself as one of the important Avengers figures who certainly make an impression on fans' minds. However, the latest news says, Chris had almost turned down the role because of fears of losing his anonymity.

Quoted from NME, Monday, April 13, the mother, Lisa Capuano Evans in Esquire magazine said her son had rejected the role. At that time, Chris Evans said that if he had a career where he could work as he pleased.

“Nothing bothers me. Nobody talks to me. I can go wherever I want. To lose something like that sounds terrible, "said Chris Evans.

This doubt was denied by the mother who thought that the opportunity to play in this film could bring Chris to another new opportunity. Taking this role does not mean changing the actor who was born on June 13 in a negative way. Chris is known to have frequent discussions with his mother regarding the choice of roles in his project.
