However, considering the generally unheroic behavior of President Donald Trump, many people would rather think of Chris Evans, the man who plays Captain America in the Marvel Universe, as a symbol of what our country is capable of.

In 2017, Evans spoke with Esquire about his frequent critiques of President Trump, saying:
"Look, I'm in a business where you've got to sell tickets. But, my God, I would not be able to look at myself in the mirror if I felt strongly about something and didn't speak up."

As the country goes through a difficult time, it's comforting to know our onscreen "heroes" are trying to be the best they can be offscreen as well.
