Warning: spoilers ahead for She-Hulk episode 2.
Chris Evans’ Captain America has become an unexpected point of discussion in new Marvel series She-Hulk on Disney Plus… and he even makes a cheeky appearance in a blink-and-you-miss-it moment.
In episode 2, Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) is down on her luck after being fired from her job at the district attorney’s office, having transformed into She-Hulk during her latest trial to fight superpowered influencer Titania (Jameela Jamil).
While at her flat with her best friend Nikki Ramos (Ginger Gonzaga) searching for job prospects online, Jennifer whips out her phone to look at a message from her mum… which is when Captain America is seen on her phone’s lock screen.
Or rather, his famous backside, known affectionately as ‘America’s a**’.
In episode one, Jennifer raved about Steve Roger’s behind in the post-credits scene, while lamenting the fact that he never got to have sex – before learning from her cousin Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) that Cap lost his virginity in 1943 to a mystery woman while on the USO Tour.
Jennifer’s clear affection for Steve, and the fact that his perky bum is on her lock screen, left a huge impression on Marvel fans after watching the second episode of the light-hearted show.
‘Jen having Captain America’s a** as her wallpaper… this show is just amazing,’ one person tweeted.
‘The way Jennifer Walters has Steve Rogers/Captain America (America’s A**) is sending me. She just like me fr,’ another said.

Following the premiere of She-Hulk, Chris actually responded to the references to how Cap lost his virginity, with fans thinking that they figured out the woman in question that he spent the night with before being frozen in ice for 70 years.
In a simple yet hilarious tweet, the Knives Out star posted a row of cry-laughing emojis, as well as one with a mouth being zipped, with the She-Hulk hashtag.
In Avengers: Endgame, the script referenced Steve’s behind being coined ‘America’s a**’ when Cap went back in time and had to fight the 2012 version of himself.
As he stared at his other self lying on the ground, he admitted to himself: ‘That is America’s a**’… and fans couldn’t have agreed more.
In The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) officially took on the mantle of Captain America, ahead of his own solo film as the superhero.
Meanwhile, many members of the public in the MCU are currently under the impression that Steve’s living on the moon, unaware that he went back in time to live out his days with his love Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), before returning in Endgame as an old man.
She-Hulk is available to watch on Disney Plus with new episodes on Thursdays.
