Captain AmericaCharacter guide · Chris Evans

Steve Rogers volunteers for an experimental program after being rejected for military service. The transformation gives him the strength to become Captain America; his opening film follows him into the struggle against HYDRA. Chris Evans portrays this version of Steve.

Watch the conviction before the strength

Pay attention to Steve before the experiment as well as after it. His physical circumstances change dramatically, but his decisions about helping other people provide a steady point of comparison. As you continue through the films, watch how he responds when loyalty, authority and personal responsibility point in different directions.

Steve Rogers, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Begin with Captain America: The First Avenger. The wartime setting introduces Steve and the people who matter to his early story. Continue in release order for a first viewing; the linked guides offer more context without requiring you to read a character biography full of later revelations.
