Avengers: Endgame Cast Vote on Captain America's Beard
Like the Rest of the World, the Avengers: Endgame Cast Prefers Captain America With a Beard
I think I speak for every Marvel fan out there when I say that the saddest thing we've seen in every trailer for Avengers: Endgame is Captain America (aka Chris Evans) without the glorious beard he sported in Avengers: Infinity War. Like sure, the footage of all the fallen Avengers was pretty heartbreaking, but seeing Steve Rogers's naked jawline after everything we went through with Thanos's snap is just too much. Steve's beard is practically an Avenger itself at this point!
You might think I'm being dramatic (which is fair), but even the cast of Endgame can't deny that the beard is something special. At the film's press conference held in Los Angeles on April 7, the cast joined directors Anthony and Joe Russo — along with a bunch of empty chairs for the "fallen" cast — where they discussed the very important topic of Steve's beard. They obviously weren't allowed to reveal too much about Endgame's plot, but they could cast a vote on whether they preferred their fellow Avenger bearded or not bearded.

In a moment caught by New York Times reporter Kyle Buchanan, the cast were asked to raise their hands to vote for Cap with a beard or no beard. While Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner refrained from voting, a majority of the cast voted for bearded Cap, including Brie Larson, Chris Hemsworth, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, and the Russo brothers. Danai Gurira and Karen Gillan raised their hands for a clean-shaven Cap, while Paul Rudd and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige voted for both (which is respectable).
"I'm going for neither," Robert Downey Jr. announced. "I like Chris Evans with a beard with prothesis over it, when Joss Whedon asked him to come be the tag for the first Avengers."
Which does the man in question prefer? Bearded Cap of course! Personally, I think if Endgame is the last time Steve Rogers graces our screens, he should go out being the best Steve he can be: a bearded Steve. Check out the videos ahead, as well as a few tweets from fans who appreciate Captain's heavenly facial hair (as they should).
