In March Evans hinted he was ready to hang up his shield and bid the Marvel franchise farewell.
“You want to get off the train before they push you off,” Evans told.
“Captain America: The First Avenger” was released in 2011, and the “Avengers” movie due out next year is reportedly the last one for which Evans is under contract.
