Chris Evans wraps “Avengers,” joins “Knives”

(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – Chris Evans has officially wrapped all his filming on the fourth “Avengers” film and posted a message to fans and colleagues which seems to reinforce the talk that this will be his final outing as Steve Rogers/Captain America.

Deadline adds that Evans is already moving on and has signed on to co-star in Rian Johnson’s upcoming film “Knives Out” alongside Daniel Craig. That project is a modern-day whodunnit murder mystery with an Agatha Christie style.

Officially wrapped on Avengers 4. It was an emotional day to say the least. Playing this role over the last 8 years has been an honor. To everyone in front of the camera, behind the camera, and in the audience, thank you for the memories! Eternally grateful.
