Evans is set to reprise the role of Captain America in the second Avengers film, which see him return to the character for the first time since Captain America: The Winter Soldier last year.

And while Rodgers has settled into a new life in the modern day world, he is still trying to figure out his place and what he wants from this life.

Speaking to Moviefone, the actor said: "There are more relationships in this movie, personal relationships Cap has to witness and I think that does make him question his own purpose in terms of this is a guy that wanted the family and, the wife and kids and stability and normalcy. He wants to serve his country but what he really wanted was a normal life and then he went into the ice and things changed.

"So it's a matter of where is, where is home? He's always been a little lost and even in 'Cap 2' it's very much about, What do I want? What am I supposed to be doing? What completes me? And in this one he has to watch some of those relationships close and question, Is that the end game? Is that what he's fighting for?"

This is the second Avengers film for Evans and his fourth outing as Captain America - not counting the cameo in Thor: The Dark World.

The Winter Soldier was a box office smash and critical hit last year, and a third film is already in the pipeline and due to fit next year. Quite how Age of Ultron will lead into that movie is currently unclear.

However, a number of the Avengers cast will be making an appearance in Civil War, as Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, and Jeremy Renner will appear.
