With three films scheduled to be released within the next four years, Evans is looking to start some directorial projects during his free time.
The "Infinity Wars" films will be helmed by the Russo brothers, Joe and Anthony, who also directed Evans in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," and will be going behind the camera once more for "Captain America: Civil War."
With "Civil War" revolves around a great schism occurring among superhumans after the government passes an act requiring all super humans to register their identities and powers, and give the government authority to monitor and regulate their activities.
The "Infinity Wars" will feature the epic battle the Avengers will wage against Thanos, the alien warlord questing for the infinity stones. The films will see Thanos in active pursuit of the infinity stones with the goal of uniting them in the infinity gauntlet in order to endow him with all the powers of a god and give him control of space and time.
