The She-Hulk series includes a conversation between Jennifer Walters and Bruce Banner about Steve Rogers, or Captain America’s sex life.
She asks Hulk, the fellow Avenger, who replies “Steve Rogers is not a virgin. He lost his virginity to a girl in 1943 on the USO tour.”
Evans, who plays Rogers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies responded to this revelation with a cryptic tweet including three laughing emoticons, and one indicating he’d be keeping his mouth zipped. The 41-year-old actor concluded the tweet with the She-Hulk hashtag and an emoticon representing the green rage-fuelled superhero.
Mark Ruffalo, who plays Banner, responded “Sorry bro. It was under extreme duress”, while show creator Jessica Gao tweeted Evans’ post, remarking “DEAD”.
Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the creators of the Captain America trilogy, recently spoke about Rogers’ sex life in an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, noting “I think he loses his virginity! Why do people think he’s a virgin? I think if you look like that, and you’re going city to city, and you’re signing autographs the likes of the ladies he’s signing autographs for, I’ve got to imagine that [he would have lost his virginity].”

Markus continued, “And the thing to remember is, Steve Rogers isn’t a prude. He may be occasionally presented that way, but he is a guy who believes in right and wrong and all these things, but he is not a choir boy, he’s a World War II veteran.”
In the movies, Rogers is put on ice and by the time he returns to life, his lover Peggy Carter has grown old. Thereon, Rogers isn’t really romantically linked with anyone, except for the one-off kiss he shares with Sharon, Peggy’s niece.

It has already been indicated that Rogers was super-focused on saving the world, moving from one emergency to the other. On the other hand, the She-Hulk series creator has asserted that she wanted to show the hero wasn’t just focused on her duties but also represented a rounded portrayal of a woman’s life.
