Chris Evans interview
When asked by Screen Rant about the state of Captain America in Civil War, Chris Evans said that his character has plenty of issues to resolve. And he wasn't talking just about his relationship with the other Avengers. According to the actor, Steve suffers from the survivor's guilt and that is why Bucky Barnes is so important to him. In a way, we believe, this is where the psychological element of the movie will be felt more intensely "“ Steve Rogers being torn between his new allegiances and his subjective need to make up for his past mistakes (having let Bucky fall into the hands of HYDRA).
In a way, according to the actor, Steve's selflessness, which we got used to in the previous movies, will play just a secondary role. And that is because the character has found someone with whom he can actually connect, someone in which he can place his utmost trust.
But his decision to go against the Sokovia Accords is also based on the fact that people are willing to forget about their freedoms in order to feel safe "“ a central plot-point of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. This story continues during the Civil War, and describes the character’s full arc in the MCU: the poster boy for the Army (The First Avenger), destroying the organization for which he worked (The Winter Soldier), and finally going up against the government (Civil War).
There is a difference, though: if in the first 2 installments it was easy to see who the bad guys were, the end of the trilogy will be a lot trickier from this point of view. And that is because both Steve and Tony have valid arguments when choosing a side.
When asked what the other Avengers would say about Steve's friendship with Bucky, Chris Evans said that they probably don't hold it against him. And that is because everybody was taken advantage of in the past (Hawkeye was brainwashed, Black Widow was misled in her actions).
Lastly, does the Civil War feel like the end of a trilogy for Captain America? According to Chris Evans, that isn't necessarily the case.
