However, fate had reserved for him to be another superhero from the Marvel factory. After an intense casting, he was chosen to play Captain America, one of the emblematic characters of the House. He not only plays the character in the film shot by Joe Johnston , but will reprise it in The Avengers , about the group of powerful uniformed heroes.

Evans had Jessica Biel as a girlfriend , with whom he worked on the aforementioned Cellular and on the romantic drama London. Dark obsession , but they ended up breaking up in 2006.
