The 39-year-old actor, who has essayed the role of superhero Captain America in various Marvel Cinematic Universe(MCU) projects, recorded a special video message after the young boy’s aunt reached out to the cast of the “Avengers” for support.
“I’m sure you’ve heard this a lot over the last couple of the days, but let me be the next one to tell you: Pal, you’re a hero. What you did was so brave, so selfless, your sister is so lucky to have you as a big brother. Your parents must be so proud of you,” Evans said in a video uploaded by Bridger’s aunt Nicole on Instagram.
“I’m gonna track down your address and I’m going to send you an authentic Captain America shield, because pal, you deserve it,” he added.
