After wrapping on the movie earlier this month, Evans took to Twitter to express his gratitude for getting to be a part of the franchise. “Officially wrapped on Avengers 4\. It was an emotional day to say the least,” he wrote. “Playing this role over the last 8 years has been an honor. To everyone in front of the camera, behind the camera, and in the audience, thank you for the memories! Eternally grateful.” > [](https://twitter.com/ChrisEvans/status/1047896966410190849) Some fans took that to mean that Captain America will meet his end in _Avengers 4_. However, during an appearance at Chicago’s ACE Comic Con over the weekend, Evans weighed in on the speculation. “I should clarify that, I know I did tweet something that made a lot of people think that it was in some way a spoiler, and I should clarify that, regardless of how _Avengers 4_ ends, I would’ve tweeted the exact same thing,” he said, according to [_The Hollywood Reporter_](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/chris-evans-insists-his-avengers-4-tweet-wasnt-a-spoiler-1152428?utm%5Fsource=twitter). Sounds like Captain America’s fate is still up in the air. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5426012/chris-evans-avengers-4-tweet/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5426012/chris-evans-avengers-4-tweet/"},"headline":"Chris Evans Addresses the Time People Thought He Totally Spoiled Avengers 4","datePublished":"2018-10-16T16:26:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:55:29.268Z","description":"Captain America's fate is still up in the air","url":"https://time.com/5426012/chris-evans-avengers-4-tweet/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","Chris Evans"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt53d0a1b40887dc8a/69892ec986f68e30956e9010/mlu-19833_r.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt53d0a1b40887dc8a/69892ec986f68e30956e9010/mlu-19833_r.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"avengers-infinity-war-captain-america","caption":"Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America in Avengers: Infinity War","creditText":"Chuck Zlotnick—Marvel Studios","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5426012/chris-evans-avengers-4-tweet/","name":"Chris Evans Addresses the Time People Thought He Totally Spoiled Avengers 4"}}]}] ```
