It's pretty obvious who Evans will be voting for in November, as the actor is an outspoken Democrat and anti-Trump advocate.
Back in July, the Evans shared a parody video mocking President Donald Trump.
The Avengers actor delighted in a silly video of the president which turns one of his speeches into an auto-tuned song.
"I've watched this about ten thousand times. I love it so much. Thank you @gregorybrothers!!" he tweeted.

Evans also made headlines recently when he surprised a brave six-year-old who saved his little sister from a dog attack.
The actor sent a sweet video message to Bridger Walker from Wyoming who went viral for his amazing act of bravery in saving his younger sister from a dog attack, and becoming severely injured himself in the process, requiring 90 stitches.
