Captain America actor Chris Evans is shocked by Marvel Comics' game-changing twist

He's as stumped as everybody else

Marvel Comics readers were left furious this week following the reveal that its most trustworthy superhero Captain America is actually a major villain.

In the comic book titled Captain America: Steve Rogers #1, a flashback shows the character for the Nazi-supporter he's always been; "Hail Hydra," he can be seen saying on the final page, leading readers to believe he's been working for the villainous organisation the entire time.

Fans have been up in arms hoping the twist would be undone in future comics to come. One such person was Captain America actor Chris Evans who expressed his thoughts via the below tweet.

Writer Nick Spencer has confirmed the twist is no gimmick, stating the moment will have "lasting repercussions." Despite the character's darker side in recent film Captain America: Civil War, we still can't really see the comics pulling off Cap the villain.

The character found himself at the centre of fan campaign #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend earlier this week following Frozen actor Idina Menzel's public support of a similar campaign named #GiveElsaAGirlfriend.

Evans, who last played the role in Civil War, recently revealed he'd be happy to pass the shield onto another actor when he leaves the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Perhaps he should jump ship before this twist is inducted.
