Chris Evans denies rumors of returning as Captain America

(Web Desk) - Chris Evans has shot down reports suggesting he is in negotiations to play Captain America in a future Marvel Cinematic Universe project.

The star had made it clear in interviews that he was pleased with how his character’s storyline concluded.

However, editors at Deadline published a shocking report on Thursday suggesting he was going to reprise the role in some form in the MCU. Sources told the publication he will return for at least one Marvel property, with the option to do more.

In a tweet on Thursday, Evans suggested the report wasn’t true.

"News to me," he wrote, adding a shrugging emoji.

Shortly after he told his followers: "Some of the gif responses are priceless (crying with laughter emojis) good work, everyone."

Evans previously told his Avengers co-star Scarlett Johansson during Variety’s Actors on Actors chat that he would "never say never" about reprising the role.
