Now in a new interview, John is praising Chris‘ work as Captain America.

Well, I know I wouldn’t have done it as well as Chris,” John shared with Total Film via Comicbook.com. “At least I get to see someone good do the role. I’ve actually talked to Chris about it.”

John went on to reveal that if he did play Captain America, his hit movie A Quiet Place may never have happened.

“Not getting it is the freedom I’ve been afforded,” John added. “Had I got it my directing and writing career never would have happened. Certainly A Quiet Place never would have happened had I got Captain America.”
