The roles Chris Evans rejected that would have changed his career

Chris Evans he is one of the most beloved stars in the Hollywood scene and his name is closely linked to the role of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But over the years Evans has held roles very distant from the one that made him famous, as well as rejected others that could have changed the course of his career.

Among the most excellent roles rejected by Chris Evans, who recently returned as Steve Rogers in the first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, is that of Jason Bourne in the action saga that began in 2002 with The Bourne Identity. Evans was in contention for the role while he was still at the beginning of his career and the part then went to Matt Damon who contributed to the enormous success of the saga.

But there is another role, which perhaps could have marked his career in an even more significant way, for which Chris Evans was in the running together with Matt Damon, namely that of Jake Sully in Avatar by James Cameron. For the part that went to Sam Worthington, Evans was in fact taken into consideration along with Matt Damon, Channing Tatum and Chris Pratt.

What if today Gone Girl by David Fincher is considered a cult of the thriller genre also thanks to the presence of Ben Affleck, perhaps not everyone knows that Nick Dunne could have had the face of Chris Evans if the star of Captain America had not rejected it.

In 2017 Casey Affleck received an Academy Award for Best Actor for Manchester by the Sea by Kenneth Lonergan and who knows if the result could have been the same if the part had gone to Chris Evans, who was initially considered for the role. We close with La La Land and with the role of Sebastian, which went to Ryan Gosling and was rejected by Chris Evans who admitted that musicals are not really his favorite choice.
