Even Captain America himself couldn’t hold back the tears while watching ‘Avengers: Endgame’ for the first time. Chris Evans shared his experience of witnessing the culmination of the decade-long saga alongside a cheering audience.
Evans’ revelation put light on the position actors who inhabit these beloved characters find themselves in. They spend years embodying these heroes, yet on premier night, they shed their professional detachment and become fans alongside everyone else. Here’s what Evans said.
Chris Evans Talks About His Reaction To Witnessing Steve Rogers Lifting Mjölnir
Chris Evans, who brought the iconic Steve Rogers to life, made a conscious decision to skip seeing the film beforehand. “Normally I see the films I work on well in advance,” he admitted in an interview with ScreenRant, “but being the last installment of a ten-year journey, I wanted to experience this final film the same way the audience would.” This decision paid off in spades.
Describing the atmosphere in the theater, Evans painted a picture of electric energy. “When Cap lifts Mjölnir,” he recalled, referring to the now-legendary scene where Captain America wields Thor’s hammer, “our theater went absolutely berserk. In those moments I’m not an actor or even an adult; I’m a little kid again completely captured by the power and magic that movies can wield,” he said.
Evans’ comment about feeling like “a little kid again” resonates deeply with the audience. Superhero movies, at their core, are about escapism, wonder, and good versus evil. Seeing these fantastical stories come to life on the big screen can reawaken that sense of childhood awe in even the most seasoned actors.

Evans’ experience also brought attention to the power of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to forge a connection between actors, filmmakers, and audiences. For ten years, the MCU has built a world unlike any other, populated by characters we’ve grown to love (and maybe even love to hate).
Meanwhile, there are rumors swirling bought Chris Evans possible comeback for a second round as Steve Rogers. While Evans himself seems surprised by the rumors, and Marvel Studios is staying tight-lipped, the idea has fans buzzing.
Sure, we all want more Captain America, but here’s the thing: Steve Rogers got a beautiful ending in Endgame. Bringing him back could tarnish that perfect moment. However, if Marvel does bring him back, it has to be for the right reasons, with a story that truly honors his legacy and doesn’t feel like a cheap cash grab.
