For Bridger, watching Captain America deliver a message for him was an occasion that required a costume. He dressed up as Captain America himself, as reported by Entertainment Weekly.

Considering the boy’s act of bravery, Evans found it fitting to reach out to him. In his message to Bridger, he said:
