Chris Evans has already left the MCU behind and is now working on other ventures. He is, however, the truest expression of Captain America for a lot of cinema fans, and he will always be. From The First Avenger to Endgame, Evans was everything we desired and more in his performance. It had been a long road for him and his fanbase, and he believes Avengers: Endgame was particularly memorable since he spent almost the entire process thankful for the entire experience. Recently, Chris Evans explained why he fumbled the iconic ‘Avengers Assemble’ line in Endgame. Here are the specifics:

Chris Evans on his most iconic MCU dialogue:
Owing to the promotional tour for his Pixar movie Lightyear, Chris Evans has lately talked a lot about his MCU role. He was asked whether there were any alternative variations of his legendary ‘Avengers assemble’ statement by Steve Rogers in Avengers: Endgame. Evans emphasized that he actually intended to shout in the first take, but he seemed to understand exactly what the camera was doing.
“Yeah. ’Cause again, you know, it almost feels like it should be shouted. And I was gonna shout the first take, and then it just felt like, you know, it almost feels like I knew what the camera was doing. You know that people are waiting for it. And it almost felt like a nice juxtaposition to almost, you know, go underneath it and then have everyone around me scream. And we tried that the first take, and then the Russos just said, ‘That’s it, don’t even do the screaming one.’ And I actually don’t know if we ever even tried it, I mean, I obviously tried it at my home the night before. And again, it could have worked. It could have worked, but I like the fact that it, you know, you almost have to lean in”.

To Infinity and Beyond:
Chris Evans was questioned during a press event about which classic catchphrase he favored: Buzz Lightyear’s ‘To Infinity And Beyond’ or Captain America’s ‘Avengers Assemble’. While the actor clearly enjoys both, one in particular stuck out, and Marvel fans will undoubtedly be pleased with the answer.
“That’s impossible, cause obviously ‘To Infinity And Beyond’ is something I knew well before ‘Avengers Assemble’. It was dear to me in much earlier chapters of my life, but as proud as I am to play this role [Buzz Lightyear] and as honored as I am to be a part of this universe now, that line belongs to someone else. It almost kind of felt like I was wearing someone else’s clothes or something. So, you do your best to honor it and put your own spin on it, but let’s be honest that’s Tim Allen’s line. So, personally at least ‘Avengers Assemble’, I was the first one in the pool for that one”.
Lightyear was released exclusively in theaters on June 17, 2022.
