Captain America Doesn't Have To Star Chris Evans Says Kevin Feige

One of the underlying questions (problems?) sitting below the surface of the MCU is that people are rather finite. While a character can go on and on and on in comics, in film eventually someone is going to leave the franchise. It's not exactly clear what happens with that when a major player leaves.

There has been a lot of speculation about Chris Evans future in the franchise for sometime now, bringing up questions of what happens when the MCU doesn't have a Captain America any more. Well, Marvel Studio's Kevin Feige spoke to Collider about the prospect, and said that there is a future for the character when Evans does finally decide to leave. When asked if a Captain America movie has to star the actor he said:

It's a good question and if we look back at the comic books as our inspiration and as the well from which this all springs, then the answer is "no."

For me the question is do we have another character entirely take up the mantle, possibly Bucky or Falcon, or do we just recast Steve Rodgers, a la James Bond? That, we will have to see.
