Chris Evans isn’t ruling out a return to Marvel just yet.
In an interview with GQ, Evans was asked if he’d ever return to Marvel. “Yeah, maybe,” he answered. “I’ll never say never, just because it was such a wonderful experience.”
Evans continued, “I’m also very precious with it. It’s something that I am very proud of. And like I said, sometimes I can’t believe it even happened. And I wouldn’t want the black eye if it felt like a cash grab or if it didn’t live up to expectations or if it just felt like it wasn’t connected to that original thing. So, no time soon. And ultimately I really hope to just maybe act a little bit less in my life. I have a lot of other interests. Look, by no means have I climbed any sort of a mountain in this field. I have no Oscars and I’m not lumped with other names that are at the top of the mountain in any way. But I also feel very satisfied.”
