Chris Evans truly established himself as a superhero playing Steve Rogers in "The Avengers" film series. His decision to join the Marvel universe adventure was influenced by his father, who according to Chris, wanted a superhero in the family. Evans had his doubts since the contract was for 10 years, and initially he didn't want to commit to the studio for that long. But ultimately, he considered his parents' perspective and signed the contract.

The first film in the series was "Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011), where Evans debuted as Captain America. His superhero character is the alter-ego of Steve Rogers, who during World War II underwent treatment with a special Super-Soldier serum.

Later, Evans' character appeared in several other Avengers films, and in 2014 his story continued in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier." In 2015 Chris Evans was named by Forbes the most profitable actor of the year, though for his first work as Captain America he was paid only $300 000.

In 2014, Evans stepped behind the camera for his directorial debut "Before We Go," also starring in the lead role. With its intimate romantic atmosphere, the film echoed genre classics like Wong Kar-Wai's "My Blueberry Nights" and Richard Linklater's "Before Sunrise."

By crafting a story about a brief but meaningful encounter between strangers, Evans revealed his sensitive side as a filmmaker. Fans discovered another facet of his talent in the family drama "Gifted" (2017).

In 2017, Evans fulfilled another dream by appearing in a Spider-Man film, featuring his second-favorite superhero. May 2018 brought the highly anticipated continuation of the superhero battle against the villainous Thanos. This time, Marvel's signature wit and spectacle brought together the Avengers, Spider-Man (Tom Holland), Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Thor (Christopher Hemsworth), and the Guardians of the Galaxy on one epic stage.
