He said, “No, I don’t think so. I mean it was a really unbelievable ride and the character’s just so dear to me and I’m just so precious with it. To return to the role, I mean the truth is, the role isn’t even mine anymore. The role is Anthony Mackie’s. So, you know, even if there was a different incarnation, not as Captain America, but you know for Steve Rogers, even that would feel… I’d be very cautious, just because I love that chapter of my life professionally, and personally. I love what those movies accomplished and to revisit it and potentially have some weird extension to that legacy would be upsetting if it didn’t land. So it would require a near-perfect recipe and it may just not be in the cards.”

He further added, comparing his two characters, “Well, I mean they certainly both are leaders. They’re both determined and selfless and honest and loyal to their friends. Buzz strikes me as someone who probably knew this about himself very early on in life, you know, I imagine Buzz was probably the hall monitor and the boy scout and class president and just always very confident in his life choices. Cap probably took a bit longer to understand his role in life and how to fulfill what he had inside and there was probably more timidity and humility and uncertainty in Cap.”
Chris Evans is happy with the how Captain America’s story ended
The story of Captain America came to an end with him finally getting to live the life he always wished for, with his lover – Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). At the end of Avengers: Endgame, Captain America travels back in time to return the Infinity Stones back to where they had taken them from to avoid creating a branch in time and reality.
When he returns, he comes back as an old man and passes his shield to Sam Wilson. He is now free of his duties as a superhero, and Chris Evans is quite happy with the end. Well, so far we don’t know if we would get to see more of Chris Evans as Captain America but Marvel is moving ahead with its phase four.
