Chris Evans responds to shocking Captain America reveal

By Tribute on May 27, 2016 | 6 Comments

The plot for his latest film Captain America: Civil War may be ironed out, but the future (and past?) of Chris Evans‘ beloved superhero just got a whole lot murkier.

Captain America: Steve Rogers, a new comic series written by Nick Spencer, released its first issue this week, containing a detail that has both Chris and fans of the franchise reeling. The comic exposed the Marvel character’s true allegiance, revealing he’s actually an undercover agent for the former Nazi organization Hydra.

Although this plot twist doesn’t change Chris’ role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe right now, it’s unclear how the revelation may steer the direction of the story in coming installments.

Check out the 34-year-old’s reaction to the news below, as well as how some other fans processed the development, through Tweets.

What kind of influence do you think this news will bear on Captain America’s storyline? ~Matthew Pariselli

The #steverogers1 #hydra fiasco just keeps hitting my brain over&over, even when I think I’m not thinking abt it. Nonono. Did I mention no?

I refuse to believe that #CaptainAmerica was a #Hydra agent all along. Can we just have one good superhero for once?

@Mackagascar @LetsTalkShazam @Marvel There are some things you shouldn’t do. #CaptainAmerica as a longtime agent of #Hydra is blasphemy!

   Mr. Spencer: SHAME on you! why oh why do you think you can take an iconic legendary hero and turn them into the villain. The original creator must be rolling in his grave. Marvel what the #%$@ are you thinking allowing such a thing to happen. this is just another very poor decision
   at corporate level. this trend to vilify the hero’s of past years just to satisfy perverse desires of new writers who don’t want to believe in hero’s is pathetic and shameful.it is a disgrace to the entire industry of comics. go create your own villains instead of usurping hero’s for your lack of imagination.
