Chris Evans is an American actor and director who has starred in some of the biggest blockbuster movies of all time.
Despite appearing in small roles beforehand, Evans’ big breakthrough arrived in 2005, when he appeared in ‘The Human Torch’ as Johnny Storm, which was effectively a readapted film version of the famous book ‘Fantastic Four’.
However, the 41 year old is undoubtedly best known for his role as the legendary superhero Captain America.
His first time playing the iconic role was in 2011, when he starred in ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’.

He had two more solo films in 2014 and 2016, but it was the Avengers’ films that undeniably gained the most accolade.
‘Age Of Ultron’, ‘Infinity War’ and ‘Endgame’ have all been hailed as classics by fans worldwide and the numbers certainly back their claims up.
The films have broken countless records, the most impressive being ‘Endgame’s’ status as the highest grossing movie of all time and the fastest film to gross $1 billion - the latter being a record previously held by ‘Infinity War’!
There is no doubt Evans’ role as ‘America’s Ass’ had a huge part to play in the success of both films.
Considering the number of admirers Evans has worldwide and the number of classic movies he has appeared in, it is no surprise that his net worth sits at a whopping $80 million, according to celebritynetworth.
For his roles in "Avengers: Infinity War," "Captain America: Civil War" and "Avengers: Endgame", the actor earned a total of $45 million, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is rumoured to have earned the American up to $100 million!
More recently, Evans swapped one iconic role for another, as he was cast as the voice of Buzz Lightyear in Disney/Pixar’s animated film ‘Lightyear’, which released in June of this year.
