Chris Evans was so well cast as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that it seems like the role was meant for him. However, he faced some stiff competition for a chance to play the leader of the Avengers.
The actor brought Steve Rogers to life on the big screen starting in 2011 with Captain America: The First Avenger. He bowed out of the role almost a decade later with Avengers: Endgame.
