He announced he would visit Seattle Children’s Hospital after winning a Super Bowl bet, and Chris Evans’ made good on his end of the wager on Saturday.
The 33-year-old lifted spirits at the hospital while dressed up as Captain America beside Chris Pratt, who was the one to lose the bet when he wagered the Seattle Seahawks would win the big game.
Pratt has already finished off his side of the wager, as he visited Christopher’s Haven in Boston while dressed up as his character Star-Lord in February.

The actors flexed their muscles while standing at the bedside of one patient, who was clearly a Marvel fan, as he wore a blue Captain America T-shirt.
Pratt and Evans also mingled with family members, who were no doubt thrilled to see the stars visit their children.
The hospital gushed about the stars when they tweeted that day: ‘A superhero size THANK YOU to @prattprattpratt & @ChrisEvans for visiting our patients today! #TwitterBowl.’

The organisation also tweeted: ‘Thank you to @Marvel for sending gifts for our patients. They were thrilled to receive them!’
The visit comes months after Pratt challenged Evans on Twitter to ‘visit @seattlechildren hospital as Captain America, waving the 12th man flag’ should the Seahawks win.
Evans was game and fired back: ‘And when the Patriots humiliate your seachickens, I expect Star-Lord to arrive at @chris_haven in a Brady jersey,’ referring to the non-profit in Boston
After the game, Evans announced no Twitter: ‘Thank you to @prattprattpratt for being a good sport. I’ll be there with you at @chris_haven, and don’t worry @seattlechildren, we’ll be coming there too!’

The actors also had a playful competition over Twitter – dubbed Twitterbowl – to raise money for two great pediatric facilities.
Evans will return to his role as Captain America in two action films, which are set for release in the next year.
He will star in Captain America: Civil War, a film that will hit U.S. cinemas on May 6, 2016, and will also appear as the superhero in Avengers: Age Of Ultron.
