Chris Evans says it's risky to revisit Captain America

In an interview with a daily, Chris Evans was asked if his appearance as Captain America has truly come to an end after Avengers: Endgame. The actor replied that it was a great run and they went out on such a high note that it would be risky to revisit it in his opinion. He stated that it was such a good experience and he thinks it is better left that way. In Endgame, Cap left to return the time stones to its original places and came back as an old man, living his life in past with his love, Peggy Carter.

On returning as Steve Rogers aka Captain America, Chris Evans added that it is not a hard no, but it is not an eager yes either. He thinks Cap had such a tricky act to stick the landing, and the makers did a really nice job letting him complete his journey. If they are going to revisit it, it cannot be a “cash grab.” He mentioned that it cannot be just because the audience wants to be excited. Evans questioned, “What are we revealing? What are we adding to the story?” A lot of things would have to come together.
