Chris Evans Ready to Quit Acting After Captain America

An article today on ign report by Lucy O'Brien Entertainment Editor at IGN

Captain America: The Winter Soldier actor Chris Evans had previously said he wanted to take a break from acting after his six-movie deal with Marvel was through, but now it seems he's ready to throw it in altogether.
“If I’m acting at all, it’s going to be under Marvel contract, or I’m going to be directing,” Evans told Variety. “I can’t see myself pursuing acting strictly outside of what I’m contractually obligated to do.”
Evans has already started on his debut feature as a director,  a $3 million love story tentatively titled "1:30 Train," which he filmed on Manhattan's Lower East side during his break from Marvel filming.
“I’ve known for a while I wanted to direct. But (time) never really opens up. There’s another movie to do, there’s another acting job. It just got to a point where I was like, you know what — I have to do this.”
Evans admits that he was reluctant to take up the Cap gig in the first place, and only agreed once nine movie appearances had been negotiated down to six.
“The problem was initially, it was a nine-movie contract. And they said, if these movies take off and do very well, and my life changes and I don’t respond well, I don’t have the opportunity to say, listen, I need a f*cking break. That just scared me.”
Still, with only three movies down, there's plenty more time to enjoy Evans wielding the shield.
