Chris Evans recently discussed the idea of returning to play Captain America again during The Falcon and The Winter Soldier on Disney Plus.
With The Falcon and The Winter Soldier currently in production, fans have already begun questioning if Chris Evans would return to play Captain America in the show – maybe as a mentor for Sam before he puts on the costume. The show is rumored to see Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson face resistance from the Government over becoming the next Captain America. But Chris Evans recently explained why he probably won’t be returning to the role for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
Chris Evans spoke to Entertainment Tonight ahead of Rian Johnson’s Knives Out on whether he’d return to Captain America for the show, explaining that it was “really tough to say goodnight” after his emotional farewell in Avengers: Endgame. He also touched on the idea that there were so many things that could’ve gone wrong with the character that it would feel like a disservice to instantly return after a perfect character arc. So for now it seems like Chris Evans’ Captain America won’t be returning to the MCU anytime soon. Take a look at the interview below.
“No, probably not. I mean it was really tough to say goodnight. There was a million ways that whole tenure with Marvel could have gone wrong and it didn’t, and so to stick the landing so well they would be ashamed to kind of revisit unless there was something very unique and we felt the need to reveal. So for now, it just feels like let’s just let’s be content with how well it ended.”

Set after the events of Avengers: Endgame, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is rumored to center on Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes as the former finds himself facing resistance from the United States government and its opposition to him taking on the Captain America mantle.
Directed by Kari Skogland from scripts written by showrunner Malcolm Spellman and Derek Kolstad, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier stars Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson / Falcon, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes / The Winter Soldier, Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter, Daniel Brühl as Baron Helmut Zemo, and Wyatt Russell as John Walker / U.S. Agent.
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier will debut on Disney+ in late 2020.
