Fans
should
thank
Hollywood
star
Chris
Evans'
mom
Lisa
Evans
for
pushing
him
to
play
Steve
Rogers
aka
Captain
America,
as
the
actor
was
initially
unwilling
to
take
up
the
superhero
part.
In
an
interview
with
Esquire,
Lisa
revealed
that
her
superstar
son
was
skeptical
to
take
up
the
role
because
he
was
scared
of
becoming
too
famous.
His
biggest
fear
was
losing
his
anonymity.
He
said,
I
have
a
career
now
where
I
can
do
work
I
really
like.
I
can
walk
my
dog.
Nobody
bothers
me.
Nobody
wants
to
talk
to
me.
I
can
go
wherever
I
want.
And
the
idea
of
losing
that
is
terrifying
to
me.'
I
said
to
him,
Look,
you
want
to
do
acting
work
for
the
rest
of
your
life?
If
you
do
this
part,
you
will
have
the
opportunity.
You'll
never
have
to
worry
about
paying
the
rent.
If
you
take
the
part,
you
just
have
to
decide,
'It's
not
going
to
affect
my
life
negatively
it
will
enable
it',
Lisa
said.
Chris
made
his
debut
as
the
Marvel
superhero
with
Captain
America:
The
First
Avenger
(2011)
and
went
on
to
reprise
his
role
in
films
The
Avengers,
Captain
America:
The
Winter
Soldier,
Avengers:
Age
of
Ultron,
Captain
America:
Civil
War
,
Avengers:
Infinity
War
and
Avengers:
Endgame.
In
the
final
moments
of
last
year's
Endgame
it
was
revealed
that
Steve
travels
back
to
the
1940's
to
live
out
his
dream
life
with
Peggy
Carter
(Hayley
Atwell)
and
returns
to
the
present
as
an
old
man
to
pass
his
shield
on
to
Anthony
Mackie's
Sam
Wilson
aka
Falcon.
Lisa
said
seeing
Chris
as
an
old
man
in
the
film
was
an
emotional
moment
for
her
as
he
resembled
his
late
granddad
exactly."
After
completing
his
decade
long
journey
in
the
Marvel
Cinematic
Universe,
the
actor's
last
release
was
Rian
Johnsons'
Knives
Out.
