When Chris Evans appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies as Captain America, he was certainly supposed to come across as an impressive figure. He managed to fulfill that requirement thanks to the fact that he’s actually taller than you might have realized. While the average height of men in the United States is 5-foot-9, according to Healthline, Chris Evans stands at 6 feet, according to Celeb Heights.
That kind of stature definitely helped him stand out onscreen, especially since it means he’s quite a bit taller than some of his Marvel costars. For instance, Scarlett Johansson is only 5-foot-3, while Mark Ruffalo is 5-foot-7 and a half (and the Hulk’s size varies depending on the project, per CBR). Robert Downey Jr. is 5-foot-7 and three-quarters, which means that he’s slightly taller than Ruffalo, but neither he nor Evans, for that matter, are quite as tall as Chris Hemsworth, who’s 6-foot-3.
Granted, some people have definitely noticed how tall Evans happens to be. One person took to Twitter in 2019 just to share photos of Evans with Johannson, writing, “The height difference between Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans!! That’s so sweet.” It may seem sweet, but the height difference is also something that he’s seemingly used to when it comes to the women in his life.
