Hollywood actor Chris Evans has said the playing the role of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is the best decision he has ever made. However, the actor also confessed that he was scared and having anxiety attacks when MCU offered him the role of Captain America.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Evans revealed that initially, he turned down the role of Captain America despite the six-film deal and a higher salary. It was the time when his family and friends pushed him for the role telling him he was making his decision based on fear to which the actor also agreed.



"And it really just kind of clicked and it really did start to make sense to me that way, so I said 'Yeah. I think that's why the whole first movie, my hair was on fire, you're so scared just like 'Oh my god, I can't believe I'm doing this and please don't backfire, please don't blow up in my face. And not only did it not, but it was the best decision I've ever made, and I really owe that to Kevin Feige for being persistent and helping me avoid making a giant mistake. To be honest, all the things that I was fearing never really came to fruition."

Chris Evans also confirmed that one of the main reasons for him to take up the challenge was none other than Robert Downey Jr, his MCU frenemy Iron Man who comfort him about the Marvel Method.

"I knew where they wanted to go, that's part of the initial deal, not just for Captain America but for Avengers movies and that was daunting. And just hearing him kind of give you that little nudge of encouragement, it just made me feel a little bit more like I was part of the gang and not so intimidated".

"I guess it was a double-edged sword, on the one hand, it makes you feel very welcome but on the other hand, you just think 'Oh man, I gotta stand next to this guy? He's crushing this role. I don't want to be the weak link here.' But it was a very nice comforting thing to hear that he was in my corner," Evans said.

FYI, as of last year's Avengers: Endgame, both Captain America and Iron Man bid adieu to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies and will not appear in any future project of MCU. Stay tuned...
