Chris Evans fully established himself as a superhero by playing Steven Rogers in the film series «The Avengers».

The actor himself had his doubts, as the contract was for 10 years, and initially, he didn`t want to attach himself to the film company for such a long time. But in the end, he took into account the parents` view and agreed to sign a contract.
