The appearance caused quite a stir on social media, with some fans even saying that “he’s old now.”

  • Fans were divided over Evans' new look; some say he 'gets better with age.'

    The Captain Americastar paired his new look with a black T-shirt and matching black jeans, keeping himself warm with a blue denim jacket.

    He accessorized his outfit with brown suede boots and a golden necklace. 

    While not a huge departure from his usual clothing choices, some viewers have gone wild, pointing fingers at his longer hair.

    “Just Chris Evans looking like a professor from an early 2000s romcom,” one person tweeted, accompanied by an image of the actor at the premiere.

    “The hair dye looks ridiculous, accept you are getting old Chris,” read a comment.

    Another fan contradicted this by saying, “Chris Evans just gets better with age. We’re not just talking like cheese or wine we’re talking like the most exclusive, desired brandy in existence.”

    “Seriously nailing the professor look… I might have gone to university if that’s what I could have expected,” someone joked. 

    Although Evans’ new appearance is a stark departure from his classic look, it’s not the first time the Marvel star has let his hair grow out

    Back in 2018, Evans wore a very similar style to his current “professor look” in Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War.

    A few viewers were fans of the change, with someone writing, “Hair/beard combo and this stern look. Oof… dying” under a Reddit post featuring various gifs of the star.

    Another comment read, “Saddest death in Endgame? The death of Cap’s beard.”

    And it seems as if the Boston native grieved the loss, too.

    In 2020, he posted a since-deleted throwback photo of his long hair and beard, writing, “Kinda miss my long hair #tbt.”

    The 43-year-old promoted the action/comedy film along with his fellow co-stars Dwayne Johnson, Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, and J.K. Simmons.

    According to IMDb, the Santa Claus-inspired movie features Johnson and Evans’ characters teaming up in a “globe-trotting, action-packed mission to save Christmas.”

    Red One will be out in theaters on November 15. 

    “He’s getting old nah” read one of the comments

    That moustache makes him look like Alvin the Squirrel or some other rodent. But in a cute way. I like him, he seems like a decent human being.
