[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Chris Evans, who played the lead role in the Hollywood movie 'Captain America,' decided to give a big gift to a 6-year-old child who saved his younger sister from a vicious dog.

On the 16th (local time), according to Hollywood Reporter and other U.S. entertainment media, Evans sent a video message promising to send Brizer Walker, a 6-year-old boy from Cheyenne, Wyoming, the real Captain America shield used in the movie as a gift.

Evans decided to give the shield after the story of Walker saving his younger sister, who was attacked by a vicious dog, became known.

On the 9th, Walker went to a friend's house with his younger sister and encountered a German Shepherd. When the dog lunged at his 4-year-old sister, Walker hugged her and blocked the dog's attack.

As a result of the incident, Walker was bitten on the face and head by the dog and reportedly underwent surgery that required 90 stitches on the wounded areas.

The story of 6-year-old Walker defeating the vicious dog and saving his sister became known after Walker's aunt posted it on Instagram.

Walker reportedly said about why he saved his sister, "If someone had to die (from the dog's attack), I thought it should be me."

In the video message to Walker, Evans praised him, saying, "You are a brave hero. You deserve to receive the real Captain America shield," and "We need people like you."

Additionally, several Hollywood stars, including Mark Ruffalo who played 'Hulk' in the Marvel movie 'Avengers' series, Tom Holland who played 'Spider-Man,' and Hugh Jackman who appeared as 'Wolverine' in the movie 'X-Men,' also reportedly sent messages of support to Walker.
