This exact kiss has become a lightning rod for trolls online, something that has (sadly) become commonplace when strides for representation are made in these massive blockbusters. Months ago it was confirmed that the film would feature a gay kiss, pushing some international governments to ban its release.

Just because Captain America actor Chris Evans is done in the MCU ( at least for now), that does not mean the actor is finished working with Disney.
