Chris Evans has revealed which Marvel Cinematic Universe movie was his favorite to take part in during his time as Captain America.
Evans recently appeared at Emerald City Con 2024 (via Total Film), where he told the audience which Marvel Studios movie was his favorite to make. The actor said that 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier was his favorite film to be a part of, as he was more accustomed to the character and was able to take more risks.
“It’s my personal favorite Marvel movie that I was a part of. It’s not just for the movie itself but the experience,” Evans stated (via Variety). “The first film, I was so nervous. You know what you’re stepping into and as a result you’re playing defense and you’re playing not to lose. When Winter Solider came around, we were playing to win. And it’s the first movie with the Russo Brothers. We were taking more risks, and the character felt more fleshed out. It was one of the more satisfying experiences I’ve had in my Marvel run.”
When was Captain America: The Winter Soldier released?
Captain America: The Winter Soldier was released in theaters on April 4, 2014. The sequel would become one of the most critically acclaimed films in the MCU and was a massive box office success. In addition to Evans, the film stars Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Cobie Smulders, Frank Grillo, Emily VanCamp, Hayley Atwell, Toby Jones, Jenny Agutter, Robert Redford, and Samuel L. Jackson.
