She-Hulk: Lawyer debuted on Disney+ this week, and Marvel fans loved the first episode. There was a lot of excitement in the episode, including Jennifer Walters getting her She-Hulk powers. However, there is one moment in the episode that really gets people talking on the internet.
Jen wonders if Captain America is a virgin. In a post-credits scene, Bruce Banner/Hulk says that Steve Rogers lost his virginity while on a USO tour in the 1940s. According to showrunner Jessica Gao, Marvel producer Kevin Feige helped Cap’s backstory.
“Kevin was really into that joke and he was actually the one who came up with the answer to that question,” Gao shared with io9 (Going through The Hollywood Reporter). “I couldn’t believe we had to permanently settle this once and for all.” She added: “Our philosophy was really like doing things until they tell us we can’t because if you start asking too much then you’re giving people a chance to say no.”
Chris Evans mentioned that the idea of Cap meeting someone on the USO tour came during an interview with vanity lounge in 2014.
“I think there’s so much to explore,” Evans shared. “Not just with the evolution of myself and [Anthony] Mackie’s character, but reconnecting with Bucky and eventually a relationship with a woman. It would be nice to see it, it’s funny when you think about it. He’s probably a virgin. He’s probably a virgin! I don’t know when that would have happened.
“He was on tour. Maybe it’s true,” Evans added. “Maybe one of them [dancing] the girls blew him away. He continued with a laugh, “He’s probably just a good guy. He was probably holding Peggy Carter and he’s probably a bit more old-fashioned in that sense. These are a lot of things that I consider to be giant conflicts, but they are also very personal conflicts. He’s a very human guy. That’s why I love it.
Evans laughed at the release of She-Hulk this week. Mark Ruffalo apologized for Evans’ reaction. “Sorry bro. It was under extreme duress,” Ruffalo joked on Twitter.
