Since then, Chris Evans has retained the same level of popularity as fellow Marvel stars Robert Downey Jr., Hugh Jackman, and Tobey Maguire.

As reported by People, Tattoo shop owner Josh Lord was met with a pleasant surprise as Chris Evans arrived just in time to witness Captain America superfan Scott Clayton receive the finishing touches on his Winter Soldier arm tattoo, which replicates Bucky Barnes' original Titanium prosthetic arm from Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Josh Lord's East Side Ink Tattoo is the tattoo shop where The Avengers' six main actors got their commemorative Avengers tattoos in 2018.

Marvel roles have also made a big impact on the lives of most MCU actors. For example, Bucky Barnes actor Sebastian Stan and Sam Wilson actor Anthony Mackie have developed a close friendship in real life since starring together in Captain America: The First Avenger, to the point that Stan and Wilson's real-life friendship photos were featured in Captain America: Brave New World. The Avengers cast's commemorative tattoos and Chris Evans' visit to the tattoo shop are also an example of their genuine appreciation for the Marvel universe.
