Captain America once promised to be there until the end of the line, and for Chris Evans, that end appears to have arrived.

Evans tweeted Thursday that he has just finished filming his last scenes for Avengers 4, seeming to confirm that he is officially done portraying the iconic superhero. "Playing this role over the last eight years has been an honor," he writes, also thanking fans for the memories. This comes after Evans previously suggested he might be finished with the Marvel film franchise in a March interview with The New York Times, saying, "You want to get off the train before they push you off."
