But what’s intriguing is the fact that the actor decided to disappear from social media right before the 105th birth anniversary of his most prominent character, Captain America. Before temporarily deleting his Instagram and Twitter accounts, the actor informed his fans by sharing a post on social media. He wrote,
“Hey, everyone. I’m treating myself to a summer with less screen time, so I’m taking a little break from Twitter and IG. See you soon! Much love!”

Recently, when MCU star Chris Evans deactivated his social media accounts, fans speculated that he might want to escape the controversy, as the MCU is currently facing severe backlash from the audience. Moreover, it isn’t just MCU that is having a hard time engaging the audience, as recently, Evans’ recent movies, Ghosted and Lightyear also failed fans’ expectations.
