“Yes, I think it is,” Evans said. “It was a great run and we went out on such a high note that it would be risky to revisit it in my opinion. It was such a good experience and I think it’s better left that way.”
Evans’ latest comments seem to be more definitive than the response he gave to the question last November. “To Marvel? Wow. Everything clicks when I get up,” Evans said in a chat with Avengers costar Scarlett Johansson. “Recovery is not the same. You never say never. I love the character. I don’t know.”
“It’s not a hard no, but it’s not an eager yes either,” he continued. “There are other things that I’m working on right now. I think Cap had such a tricky act to stick the landing, and I think they did a really nice job letting him complete his journey. If you’re going to revisit it, it can’t be a cash grab. It can’t be just because the audience wants to be excited. What are we revealing? What are we adding to the story? A lot of things would have to come together. “It doesn’t feel, at this time, that would be a thing.”
As he said then, Evans thinks the ending of Endgame would be a difficult hurdle to overcome.
“It’d be a shame to sour that,” he said of Steve’s ending. “I’m very protective of it. It was such a precious time, and jumping onto the movie was a terrifying prospect to me. I said no a bunch of times, and there’s a million and one ways it could have gone wrong. It almost feels like maybe we should let this one sit.”
Evans can be seen as Captain America in Avengers: Endgame, now streaming on Disney+.
