While Chris Evans cried on multiple occasions the first time he saw “Endgame,” his tears flow far beyond the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For example, the actor regularly gets choked up by another area of the House of Mouse’s expansive catalog. “It doesn’t take much for me. Pixar does an amazing job,” the actor said in response to a question from MTV News about which Pixar films have made him cry. “All the ‘Toy Story’ movies. [‘Toy Story’] 2, 3, and 4 will rip your heart out,” he specified, adding “Inside Out”, “Up,” and “Coco” to the list as well.
Evans has been known to jump-start others’ tear ducts too. In an interview with Esquire, the star revealed that when his mother saw him as an old, weatherworn Steve Rogers at the end of “Endgame,” she burst into tears due to the picture-perfect resemblance to his late grandfather. Another “Endgame” example is the emotional message Evans penned as he wrapped filming. His tweet thanking his followers and the MCU fandom in general for the honor of playing Captain America prompted some to ask what gave him the right to make them cry.
Whether his own or others’, Pixar or the MCU, Evans is a man associated with tears. But there’s only one movie, to date, that we know made him cry not once or twice but six times — and that’s “Avengers: Endgame.” We love you 3,000, Chris.
