How Old Was Captain America in Every Movie? Shocking Age Revealed

by

In “Captain America: The First Avenger,” Steve Rogers is a skinny, 27-year-old man who repeatedly tries to enlist between 1943 and 1945. It isn’t until 1945 that he undergoes the super serum experiment and is placed in ice. He doesn’t get discovered again and awakened for another 66 years, making him 93 years old during the last scenes of the same movie where he initially appears to be in his late twenties. In this analysis, we will examine Rogers’ age in each of his films, as it’s crucial to clarify the starting point since there is a significant time leap involved.

To clarify our perspective here, we’re considering Rogers’s biological age as if he hadn’t aged since he was frozen in 1945. So, technically, he remained at the age of 27 for the past 66 years, both during his freezing and thawing process. In essence, he can be thought of as being 27 when he entered the ice and 27 when he emerged from it.

The Avengers — 28 Years Old (Technically 94 Years Old)

One year following Rogers’ awakening from the ice, Nick Fury recruits him to command the Avengers. The Chitauri invasion took place in May 2012, which coincidentally is when the movie “The Avengers” was released, meaning Rogers’ physical form was that of a 28-year-old at his first mission with the team. Considering he was born in 1918, this would make him 94 years old for their inaugural operation.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier — 30 Years Old (Technically 96 Years Old)

In 2014 (specifically around April), events like S.H.I.E.L.D’s downfall depicted in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” transpired. This film was released two years following the Battle for New York. Thus, Captain America’s body would have been 30 years old, making it 96 years since his birthdate.

Avengers: Age of Ultron — 31 Years Old (Technically 97 Years Old)

In “Avengers: Age of Ultron”, Tony Stark endeavors to create a program called Ultron in an attempt to prevent another catastrophic event like the Battle for New York. However, unintentionally, he triggers a battle that might be even more devastating than the one he aimed to prevent. In this movie, released in 2015, Captain America (Rogers) is one year older than when he reconnected with Bucky Barnes in “The Winter Soldier”, which means his physical age is 31 years old at the time of the events portrayed in the film. These events unfold 97 years after his birth in 1918.

Captain America: Civil War — 32 Years Old (Technically 98 Years Old)

Just as a single year separated the storylines of The Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron, only a year transpired between the events depicted in Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War. This implies that at this point, Steve Rogers is 32 years old, with 98 more years remaining until his date of birth.

Avengers: Infinity War — 34 Years Old (Technically 100 Years Old)

In “Avengers: Infinity War,” Captain Rogers appeared to be the youngest-looking centenarian ever recorded. This film’s action, which was set in 2018 (the year of its release), occurred two years following the events of “Civil War.” So, while his body was 34 years old, he had technically entered his triple digits.

Avengers: Endgame — 39 Years Old (Technically 105 Years Old) & 114 Years Old

Now we’re discussing a period where Rogers is over a century old. The movie “Avengers: Endgame” unfolds in the year 2023, five years following “Infinity War”. In this scenario, Rogers’ physical body is 39 years old, but considering his age at the time of his first appearance, he would actually be 105 years old.

In the finale of Endgame, Rogers steps into a time machine to share life with Peggy Carter. The Rogers who later passes the shield to Sam Wilson is 114 years old, but he enters the time machine at age 39. He travels back to around 1948 (the timeline of Agent Carter spans from 1946 to 1947), and by the end of Endgame, another 75 years have passed. Alternatively, we could say he’s 180 years old, but due to the super serum, he appears much younger, around 80 years old.
