Following the rumors about succeeding Henry Cavill in Highlander Chris Evans opens up about his return to Marvel Universe.

Amidst Rumors of Replacing Henry Cavill in &#8216;Highlander&#8217;, Chris Evans Throws Light at His Return as Captain America, “I love that&#8230;”

Rumors about A-lister celebrities replacing each other are not a new thing in
Hollywood. But the news spread that Chris Evans is taking over Henry Cavill
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/]‘s role in the Highlander reboot
struck many fans. Lately, the Man of Steel star has already lost all the
fan-favorite roles from Witcher to Superman. So, naturally, this news shattered
the hopes of fans who have been awaiting his take on this epic show Moreover,
many publications have reported that the American superstar is considerably
showing interest in headlining this upcoming project. And amidst these
bitter-sweet moments, the Knives Out star arrived at the Chicago Comic and
Entertainment Expo to talk about his future plans.

In his recent interview, Chris Evans addressed the biggest question that fans
have been asking since Avengers: Endgame: Will the Captain ever come back? The
41-year-old revealed whether he will take the mantle of Captain America anytime
soon or not as reported by the Pop Verse
[https://www.thepopverse.com/chris-evans-captain-america-marvel-studios-c2e2-2023].
Speculation regarding his return to the big screen has been going on since
multiverse was introduced. So eventually people got curious that he might have
the chance to come back some other way.

“God, it’s tough. Look, I love that role deeply, it means so much to me,” he
said. He thinks there could be many Steve Rogers with a story to tell but to him
his experience was precious. And while it was a great time for him, playing
Rogers, it didn’t make sense to him right now.

However, at this time returning to the character might not be a good idea
because Rogers just handed over his shield to a young superhero. Now he is
focusing on spending much time around his family and friends and fans seems to
agree with him.


FANS SHOW THEIR SUPPORT FOR CHRIS EVANS

Fans are taking sides with their beloved superhero, asking people to let him
take some rest. While others are urging him to just do some cameo appearances in
the upcoming movies.

“His story ended off perfectly in Endgame, no need for a revival. Sam Wilson is
now Captain America,” one fan commented. 

The second fan remarked: “I agree with Chris Evans. Plus, Sam Wilson, being
Captain America, is going to be so cool to see!”

While another wrote, “Just have the classic Avengers show up to help From
another universe or timeline in the final Kang movie and I’ll be satisfied.”
