did Chris Evan's performance in the FF movies help him get cast as CA?

Even though the FF movies were not that good I wonder if Marvel noticed that Chris Evans was actually pretty good in them and that is what gave him their attention. If so, at least those movies can be credited for being a kind of star making role for him

Yeah, but unlike Evans, Reynolds sucked (and the movies with him) in all those roles (well, Deadpool sure looks like crap in the trailers). So it doesn't compare.
Same with Affleck, his Daredevil also sucked. -

As far as I have heard, FF actually spoke against giving him Cap, because Marvel didn't want an actor playing two heroes. But Joe Johnston liked his Work in some of the smaller movies he did, and cast him based on that.
Who am I to argue with the captain of the Enterprise? -

Yeah, it wasn't FF that got Marvel Studios interested in Chris Evans. Apparently they loved his audition. Pretty cut dry. At the time I wasn't thrilled, but then I saw him as Cap and I was very impressed. The studio almost went with Jim from the office for Steve Rogers.
