Chris Evans has revealed that he was nervous about taking on the role of such an iconic character when he signed up to star as Captain America in Marvel Studios; Captain America: The First Avenger.

Talking to MTV, Evans said…

“It wasn’t an easy yes. [accepting the part] I get nervous. I get nervous in things like this (interviews and public appearances). Captain America means a lot of this. Playing Captain America just changes things, and there’s really no off switch once you walk down that road.”

He was quick to add that despite his anxieties, he enjoyed filming…

“There’s nothing wrong with the project. I love the people involved, the character, the script, Hugo [Weaving]. There was nothing wrong there, it was just about the lifestyle change and whether or not I was willing to do it. There’s no turning back now. I’m just trying to make all the negatives positives and just enjoy the ride.”

Sounds like filming has wrapped doesn’t it?

Captain America hits US cinemas in July 2011.
