The MCU has seen mostly successful casting stories over the years, but Chris Evans as Captain America is arguably Marvel's biggest victory.
Chris Evans' casting as Captain America is the Marvel Cinematic Universe's biggest victory so far. The MCU has had great success with its casting department, spearheaded by Sarah Halley Finn, over the years. The universe hinged on the original Avengers team, and the actors Marvel got for their roles did not disappoint, with the exception of Edward Norton, who was recast with Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk. As the universe grew, two characters emerged as the faces of the MCU, Robert Downey Jr.
Evans had a harder time becoming Captain America, as he did not share such a personal bond with how the hero should be portrayed as RDJ did with Stark. Besides, there was the fact that Evans had already played another Marvel superhero shortly before he joined the MCU as Captain America. Evans gave life to Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, in Tim Story's Fantastic Four duology.
Evans' take on the iconic Marvel character kept Rogers' ideals intact, with the MCU still maintaining Cap's well-known bravery, humility, perseverance, leadership, and most of all, his good heart. Every MCU hero who came into contact with Captain America knew what he stood for and admired Rogers, which is why he became the Avengers' leader.
