Chris Evans wanted to depart his Captain America role before he was axed.
The 36-year-old actor is expected to hang up his superhero character’s vibranium-steel alloy shield following the release of next year’s ‘Avengers 4’ movie, and he has confirmed he wanted to leave the part before he was let go.
Speaking about playing Captain America in the upcoming ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ and next year’s fourth film, he said in a profile piece in the New York Times newspaper: ‘You want to get off the train before they push you off.’
