Chris Evans has seemingly confirmed that he will hang up Captain America's shield after the as-yet-untitled fourth Avengers feature, due out in 2019.
It was reported that Evans will leave the Marvel franchise after planned reshoots for the fourth Avengers movie later this year, quoting him as saying, “You want to get off the train before they push you off.”
It had also been reported previously that Evans would be retiring as Captain America as initial interviews from the set of Avengers: Infinity War featured much discussion about the possibility of many of the original Avengers cast retiring.
Evans has made Captain America one of the studio's most pivotal characters. He initially had a six-picture deal but extended it to include the fourth Avengers movie as well. In addition to three Captain America films and four Avengers films, he's shot small cameos in 2013's Thor: The Dark World and last year's Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Evans will feature as Captain America in the highly anticipated Avengers: Infinity War film which is set to hit theatres on April 27, 2018.
