Since his last appearance as Captain America, in 2019's Avengers: Endgame, Chris Evans has been busy in other projects, but he still thinks well of his days in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In a Backstage magazine interview, Evans expressed, "I absolutely loved my time with Marvel; I already miss it." Still, with Captain America and the MCU behind him, Evans said, "there's no denying that it is very exciting to just have complete freedom to pursue whatever my creative appetite wants."

He went on to describe how daunting it was for him to accept the role of Captain America, both because of fan expectations and his own desire to do it well. He stated, "Audiences are part of what will make [these films] work, and I owe that group my understanding of what they see." Evans undertook extensive preparation, reading all he could about the character and then using that material to inform his acting choices.

In his post-MCU career, Evans co-starred in the comedy/mystery Knives Out and led the Apple+ miniseries Defending Jacob. Since 2011, he appeared in three Captain America films, three Avengers films and cameos in Thor: The Dark World, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Ant-Man and Captain Marvel.
