While taking on the part of Captain America – which includes involvement in the Avengers films as well – has taken Evans’ career to another level, the actor almost opted out of the opportunity. According to Evans, he was wary of signing on to such a massive commitment, and was fearful of whether or not he could do it.
“I was scared because at first it was a nine-picture contract, and there are parts of me that have a little bit of social anxiety with this industry,” Evans told Jimmy Kimmel. “Doing movies one at a time, if all of a sudden you decide you don’t want to do them anymore, you’re afforded the opportunity to take a step back and recalibrate. When you have a giant contract, if all of a sudden you’re not responding well, too bad, you gotta suit up again. That was scary.”
Captain America: Civil War hits theaters May 6.
