It's not like we didn't anticipate the end. And yet, Chris Evans' out-of-the-blue post, bidding goodbye to the Avengers as he (seemingly) prepares to hang up his Captain America boots, comes as a shock to most Marvel fans.

Die-hard followers of the comic book franchise were treated to this heartbreaking news on Thursday (October4), when Evans took to social media to announce that he has officially wrapped production on the much-awaited Avengers 4. And no, he didn't give out the title for the upcoming Avengers movie. 

"Officially wrapped on Avengers 4. It was an emotional day to say the least," the Marvel star who has appeared in almost every superhero movie from the comic book franchise wrote. On an ominous note, he went on to add, "Playing this role over the last 8 years has been an honor. To everyone in front of the camera, behind the camera, and in the audience, thank you for the memories! Eternally grateful."
