Chris Evans, whose name is used pretty synonymously with Steve Rogers aka the original and former Captain America of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently perked up to share his favorite movie that he has been a part of from the multi-billionaire comics-based universe. And as surprising as it may be, this one film that he holds dearest is notAvengers: EndgameorInfinity War.
Instead, Chris Evans’ choice goes way back in time to when his career and character were more or less only starting to take shape and height in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And no, it isn’tCaptain America: The First Avengereither. Rather, it is the $712 million grossing film from MCU’s Phase 2 ofThe Infinity Saga—Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014).

However, Evans’ choice for havingCaptain America: The Winter Soldieras his personal favorite Marvel movie that he has starred in is also justified; and for a quite heartwarming reason at that, as the actor shared during his recent appearance at the Emerald City Comic Con 2024.
Since this year’s 4th of April would officially mark 10 years ofThe Winter Soldiersince its initial release in 2014, theFantastic Fouractor got candid about his feelings for the film as he said (viaAJFilms 28 | YouTube):
“It’s my personal favorite Marvel movie that I was a part of. It’s not just for the movie itself but the experience,” he said.

Elaborating on this statement, Chris Evans continued to express how he was“so nervous”while initiallystepping into Captain America’s shoes, and“as a result, you’re playing defense and you’re playing not to lose.”But withCaptain America 2, it was different.
“When ‘Winter Solider’ came around, we were playing to win. And it’s the first movie with the Russo Brothers. We were taking more risks, and the character felt more fleshed out. It was one of the more satisfying experiences I’ve had in my Marvel run.”
Because of all these reasons and heartwarming experiences that he cherishes to the core,Captain America:The Winter Soldierranks as Chris Evans’ ultimate favorite Marvel movie that he has starred in. And perhaps, after finding out about this, it would turn into his fans’ favorite movie, too!
