Chris Evans to gift Captain America shield to young boy who saved his sister from dog attack

“I’m sure you’ve heard this a lot over the last couple of the days, but let me be the next one to tell you: Pal, you’re a hero. What you did was so brave, so selfless, your sister is so lucky to have you as a big brother. Your parents must be so proud of you,” Evans said in a video uploaded by Bridger’s aunt Nicole on Instagram.

“I’m gonna track down your address and I’m going to send you an authentic Captain America shield, because pal, you deserve it,” he added.

Apart from Evans, Marvel stars Mark Ruffalo, Brie Larson, Robbie Amell and Grant Gustin also praised the child’s bravery.

“People who put the well beings of others in front of themselves are the most heroic and thoughtful people I know. I truly respect and admire your courage and your heart,” Ruffalo wrote on Instagram.
