Chris Evans is planning to take a break from acting following his contract with Marvel.

The 32-year-old actor stars as the titular character in forthcoming 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier', and is currently filming 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' where he reprises his role as the superhero, but is planning to take a step back from acting in the near future.

He told the UK's Glamour magazine: ''I think when I'm done with this Marvel contract, I'll take a little break from acting.

''With acting, you're one piece in a very big puzzle. It's like you helped buy a gift but you don't know what the gift is, so you come back and see the movie. Sometimes it's nice, sometimes it's tragic.''

The hunk is glad he made his directorial debut with '1:30 Train', which he also stars in alongside Alice Eve and Mark Kassen, and reckons he'd regret it if he chose not to.

Quizzed on '1:30 Train', Evans added: ''This process, you're involved in every single decision. If I hadn't done it, I'd be really kicking myself.

''At the time, it was a daunting task for a number of reasons, but in hindsight it was the right move.''
