On the other hand, actor Chris Evans had recently revealed that he probably won't be picking up the mantle of Captain America again while speaking to a leading entertainment portal. Evans revealed that it won't be a hard no from his side to reprise his longest-running role but it isn't an eager yes either. The actor believes that as a character, Captain America was tricky to 'stick the landing' with, but the makers of the film did a nice job to complete his journey. Thus, the actor does not wish to reprise the role if it is a cash grab project.
