Chris Evans says Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson ‘is Captain America’ ahead of film’s fourth installment

Chris Evans made it clear that he’s no longer the The Star Spangled Man with a Plan. 

The actor, 41, took to Twitter on Saturday to address rumors about his involvement with the fourth Captain America movie.

The Hollywood Reporter reported earlier in the week that The Cloverfield Paradox director Julius Onah will helm the upcoming film. 

While Anthony Mackie is set to star in the film as the new Captain America, the publication expressed doubts that Evans’ would not be involved at all. 

‘It is unclear whether Chris Evans would reprise his role of Steve Rogers, AKA the first Captain America (although if the question of who is entitled to carry shield continues to be posed, all bets are off. Plus, having stacked casts in solo movie outings is a main Marvel ingredient at this point.),’ the article read. 

After THR tweeted out its article, the Knives Out actor emphatically responded, ‘Sam Wilson is Captain America.’
