“That was the beauty of working on Marvel films. You never really had to be front and center. Even in your own films sometimes,” Chris said during an interview with GQ.

He proceeded to reference Quentin‘s quote, saying, “You know, he’s right. The character is the star. You’re there, but you don’t feel the burden of it.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the Captain America actor explained why he did not feel like a movie star but implied that one of his MCU co-stars fit the bill.
