You may recall that, last year,Chris Evansrevealed he wants to take a break from acting after hisMarvelcontract is up, to focus on directing. He is currently filmingCaptain America: The Winter Soldierin Atlanta, which is the fifth movie in his six-picture deal with the studio. Unless his contract is amended, this likely means that he will only be featured in eitherAvengers: Infinity War Part 1orAvengers: Infinity War Part 2, but not both films.
