Chris Evans talks not wanting to be Captain America

*Chris Evans has spoken candidly to Total Film about his apprehension
towards playing Captain America for Marvel.*

The role of the first Avenger was a hotly-contested one, not that
Evans was initially interested.

He told us: “I didn’t want to do this movie… I said
no, I think, three times. I had serious doubts.”

It seems it was the long-term contract (he’s locked in for six
pictures, including _The Avengers_) that was causing his trepidation.

Evans explained: "If these movies do well, I could be playing this guy
until I’m 40. What if I want to quit acting? What if I want to
move to India? You can’t – you have a contract. It’s
terrifying!”

What was the appeal then? “I loved the character…
He’s a good guy. Even if nobody's looking.

“He’s got nothing, he can’t do anything, but
he’s OK with it. He does the right thing, not for praise but
because it’s the right thing.

“What a great character to play!”

_Captain America: The First Avenger_ opens on 29 July 2011.
