Here we'll list all the most acclaimed works that have featured Evans in the cast, according to their success at the box office, in ascending order. Is your favorite film among them?

A Tie of Love (2017)

In A Tie of Love, Chris Evans plays one of the most exciting roles of his career: a man called Frank Adler who lovingly raises his niece Mary (Mckenna Grace), despite being single. The girl possesses great intelligence and when she excels at school, her grandmother devises a plan for her future that could end up separating Mary and Frank.

The film was a great success with audiences and received high marks from critics, achieving a 4.5/5 on specialized websites. Its budget was US$ 7 million against US$ 19.209 million collected at the box office. One of Chris Evans' best films without a doubt, since you can see all the dedication and dedication to the character's feelings in the performance delivered by the actor.

An interesting fact about Evans in this role is that he almost didn't play the character in the movie. At first, the actor refused to play Frank Adler in theaters, but after reading the full script, he went back on his decision and then began preparing to deliver a lot of emotion when he played Adler.

Between Knives and Secrets (2019)

Between Knives and Secrets is a feature film released in 2019 that deserves to be among Chris Evans' best films. In it, the actor plays the main antagonist named Ransom Drysdale, a selfish and sometimes somewhat immature man. The main plot itself revolves around the suspected murder of Harlan Thrombey, a famous writer who is eliminated under strange circumstances and a detective named Benoit Blanc is called in to investigate the case.

With a box office of US$ 309 million against a budget of US$ 49 million, Between Knives and Secrets quickly fell in love with the public and it wasn't so different when it came to the specialized reviews. On genre websites, the film achieved a high score of 4.3/5. Evans' versatility in the role of the villain is impressive and shows everyone how talented he is.

Captain America 2 - The Winter Soldier (2014)

Captain America was the character that most marked the actor's career, so the second feature of the franchise couldn't be missing from a list of Chris Evans' best films. Steve Rogers is a soldier who underwent genetic modifications during the Second World War and now acts as a superhero to protect humanity.

In this sequel, the character has to face the consequences of what happened in New York with the Avengers and also the appearance of an unexpected villain: the Winter Soldier. This title scored 4.5/5 with critics and grossed US$ 714.4 million at the box office against a budget of US$ 170 million, making it a great success in Chris Evans' career.

The production of Winter Soldier was quite intense for the actor. Unlike other works in the MCU, the idea here was to use as little computer graphics as possible, so practical effects were much more exploited during the scenes. As a result, hand-to-hand battles were more prominent, as you can see in the final result.

Captain America: Civil War (2016)

Still in the MCU, Chris Evans continued to shine in the role of Steve Rogers, this time in the midst of a war of opinions that has divided the Avengers. After the incident in Sokovia in Avengers: Age of Ultron, the need to control people with powers becomes evident in society, but not everyone agrees with this and the group led by Rogers unites to start a kind of resistance.

This movie was released in 2016 and brought out a more rebellious side of Captain America that Chris Evans managed to bring to the screen very well. Its rating among critics was around 4.5/5 and audiences were also very satisfied, earning US$ 1.153 billion at the worldwide box office against a budget of US$ 250 million.

Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)

The most recent movie to feature the actor is Deadpool and Wolverine, released in July this year. However, anyone who thinks that the artist has reprised his role as Steve Rogers in this new MCU title is mistaken. He has now brought back to life the Human Torch, a character he played in 2005 during the first Fantastic Four films.

Deadpool & Wolverine brings the two heroes of the Marvel universe trying to solve multiversal problems in the timeline where Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) lives, but Chris Evans makes a significant appearance as the Human Torch in a few scenes. Although he only plays a supporting role, his presence steals the show and his return as Johnny Storm earned the movie a place on the list of the best Chris Evans movies.

As you'd expect from a Deadpool movie, the third film in the character's trilogy did very well at the box office. Its budget was US$ 200 million and its revenue far exceeded that figure, reaching US$ 1.3 billion. It was also a success with critics, with a rating of 4.4/5.

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

In this other title among Chris Evans' best films, the actor returns to the role of Steve Rogers at the height of his success. Captain America rejoins the team of heroes called the Avengers to join forces against Ultron, a villain who created himself from an advanced security system originally developed to protect the Earth.

Captain America's participation here is very well explored and yields several striking scenes. The critics were very positive when analyzing the film, giving it a 4.5/5 rating and it was also a great success with the public, as the film managed to gross US$ 1.4 billion against a budget of US$ 365 million.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

The silver medal among Chris Evans' best films also comes from the MCU, with the actor playing the role of Steve Rogers, the Avengers are heading towards the climax of the Infinity Saga in Avengers: Infinity War. Alongside his teammates in the team of heroes, Captain America must face the threat of Thanos and prevent him from wiping out half the universe with the infinity gems finally gathered in his gauntlet.

To say that this movie was a success would be an understatement. It managed to be one of the biggest box office hits of all time, with US$ 2.052 billion collected against an investment of US$ 316 million. The critics were also very favorable to the title, giving it a total score of 4.7/5.

Avengers: Endgame (2019)

And finally, the gold medal winner among the best Chris Evans movies: Avengers: Endgame. The conclusion of the Infinity Saga so eagerly awaited by MCU fans hit theaters in 2019 and managed to overtake Avatar (2009) on the all-time box office list for a moment, but ended up being overtaken by it again when a re-screening took place in theaters.

Here, the Avengers and all the citizens of the universe must deal with the consequences of Thanos' actions and rebuild their lives. However, there may still be a way to make things right and the team of heroes comes together once again to resolve this issue once and for all. The undisputed success of Endgame made headlines on all the specialized websites: a box office of US$ 2.797 billion against a budget of US$ 356 million. It also did well with critics, achieving a rating of 4.7/5.

With a total running time of over three hours, Avengers: Endgame is considered to be the longest superhero movie ever released on the big screen. However, many viewers say they didn't even feel all that "extra" running time because the story held their attention from start to finish.
