Chris Evans Leaves Heartwarming Message For 6-Year-Old Superhero

A six-year-old Wyoming boy named Bridger Walker is being hailed as a hero after placing himself in harm's way to save his four-year-old sister from an attacking dog. And it isn't just the local community rallying around Bridger Walker a few members of the Avengers have taken notice as well.

Bridger's aunt, Nikki, posted an account of Bridger's selfless act on her Instagram. She wrote that on July 9, 2020 Bridger's little sister was charged by a neighbor's dog, and the boy did what many full-grown folks might not have the courage to do: He stood directly between the dog and his sister, sustaining multiple bite wounds to his face and head.

When the dog didn't back off, Bridger grabbed his sister's hand and ran, guiding her to safety. Asked by his father why he did what he did, Bridger responded with words that we can literally hear coming out of Steve Rogers' mouth:

"If someone was going to die, I thought it should be me."

Nikki Walker wrote that Bridger's wounds would later require around 90 stitches, and that after several days in the hospital, he was resting at home. As the selfless young man apparently has a love for superheroes, Nikki tagged several of Marvel's stars in her posts. She also asked those who might want to help comfort Bridger during his recovery to specifically send along some "cool rocks" to a P.O. box in Cheyenne, Wyoming – because the only thing he loves almost as much as crime-fighting, apparently, is geology.

It wasn't long before Nikki's second post about the situation went super-viral. As of this writing, it's garnered over 1.1 million likes and a truckload of comments. It also caught the attention of a few of Bridger's heroes, including Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, and more.

It all started with one famous actress taking it upon herself to make sure the Avengers would assemble for Bridger. Anne Hathaway who portrayed Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, in Christopher Nolan's 2012 three-quel The Dark Knight Rises was apparently the first big celebrity to notice Nikki Walker's post.
