Some stars might have commitment issues, but "Captain America" lead actor Chris Evans certainly isn't one of them.
Evans said that he will never tire of playing Steve Rogers, better known as Captain America for Marvel, and that is why if the studio wants him to portray the same character for more movies, then he is more than willing to do so.
"Listen, if Marvel wants me, they got me," he said during an interview with Collider. "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. It's wonderful directors and producers and actors and scripts, and it's like a playground as an actor."
Surprisingly, Evans admitted that he was initially reluctant to play Captain America when the role was first offered to him. However, he is glad that he made the right decision.
"It's so mind-boggling that I was so tentative in the beginning to jump onboard. What an (expletive) I would be if I hadn't done this. I mean can you imagine? Kicking myself-I'd never forgive myself!" he said.
His next Marvel film, which is "Captain America: Civil War" will hit cinemas on May 6, 2016 and is directed by the Russo brothers Joe and Anthony. It will be his fifth appearance as the Avengers' main guy and leader, his first being Cap's standalone movie "Captain America: The First Avenger" in 2011.
This was followed by "The Avengers" in 2012, then "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" in 2014. His fourth appearance as the superhero is on "Avengers: Age of Ultron," and the fifth would be next year's film "Captain America: Civil War."
Counting his cameos in the films "Thor: The Dark World" and "Ant-Man," Evans has portrayed Captain America for seven times already. Plus, he has already signed on for the next two Avengers films "Infinity Wars: Part 1 and 2," which would tally his involvement as Captain America for nine times already.
Evans has also expressed the desire to direct his own film, but given his busy schedule, he finds it difficult to fulfil his dream. "I can't see myself pursuing acting strictly outside of what I'm contractually obligated to do," he Variety. "I've known for a while I wanted to direct, but [time] never really opens up."
