Visitors to Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom were very happy when Hollywood star Chris Evans made a wonderful appearance and attempted to shoot the iconic sword into stone. Known for his role as Captain America in the Marvel cinematic universe, Evans brought a superhero touch to the beloved Disney tradition, creating a magical moment for viewers.
The Sword in the Stone attraction at Magic Kingdom is a nod to the 1963 Disney animated classic of the same name, which tells the story of young Arthur, who becomes king by pulling the legendary sword from an anvil. Located in Fantasyland near Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, the attraction features a replica of the sword embedded in an anvil atop a stone pedestal.
Guests are invited to test their strength and courage by attempting to pull the sword from the stone, mimicking the pivotal moment from the film. While the sword is typically immovable, Disney magic sometimes allows it to “release” for a lucky guest chosen by Cast Members. It’s a lighthearted challenge that embodies the whimsy and wonder of Disney parks.

Evans, who captivated the public with his interpretation of the Patriotic Superhero of Marvel, Captain America, contributed his characteristic charm to the project. Photos and videos of his efforts temporarily circulated online, with enthusiasts encouraging him and jokingly specula that the force of Captain America would give him the merit of claiming the mythical sword.
Evans was able to successfully pull the sword, meaning he once again had fulfilled a unique prophecy.
The actor’s visit also underscored his connection to Disney, as Marvel Studios is a key part of the Disney family. The Sword in the Stone challenge is a cherished part of the Magic Kingdom experience, offering guests a chance to channel their inner hero. Whether successful or not, the attempt is always accompanied by laughter, cheers, and plenty of photo opportunities.
Chris Evans’ fun interaction with charm recalls the eternal attraction of Disney’s magical traditions, where even superheroes can participate in fantastic pleasures. While the enthusiasts continue to celebrate their visit, Evans’s reminiscence to the stone sword adds a lovely charm to the durable legacy of Disney Fantasyland.
