In the vast Marvel universe, Captain America has always stood out for being a symbol of true courage, selflessness, and heroism. Every time the world needs saving, Cap is always there to put his life on the line and do his best. And the Marvel Cinematic and Comic verse is full of several such examples and instances.
Portrayed by Chris Evans in the Marvel Cinematic Universe till 2019’s blockbuster, Avengers: Endgame, fans continue to reminiscent the ‘golden age’ of the MCU. Recently, one scene involving the actor’s character resurfaced on the internet, showcasing why Captain America gets to lead the Avengers.
Why Chris Evans’ Captain America Deserves to Lead the Avengers
Being a hero is no easy feat, especially in the world of fiction when the threats are much more menacing and deadly than real life. Yet, Chris Evans‘ Captain America makes it look like an everyday job with his selflessness and bravery. Throughout his time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the actor’s portrayal has always remained consistent with the character’s comic book origin, proving time and again why he gets to lead the Avengers.
But one scene in Avengers: Endgame exemplifies why Steve Rogers earns his place as the leader of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Evans’ hero shows his relentless determination even though he is brutally injured and hurt by the merciless Thanos. During the end battle, when the Mad Titan beats up Thor and Iron Man, he turns to Captain America, breaking his ‘unbreakable’ vibranium shield to pieces.
While we get to witness a sudden moment of fear on the hero’s face, as he realizes the magnitude of the threat that Thanos poses, he nonetheless gets up without missing a beat. As Thanos’s alien army starts to descend, Evans’ bruised hero starts to make his way, ready to fight with his barely intact shield. In a single moment of bravery, Steve Rogers proves why he is Captain America, the leader of the Avengers, and why he is much better than the Hulk, the strongest Avenger!

This one scene proves why only Captain America can be the leader of the Avengers, for being a leader is not about brute strength but about resilience, courage, and unwavering determination. As the scene resurfaced, this is what fans had to say about Chris Evans’ hero:
