'Avengers Age of Ultron' Cast News: Chris Evans on Captain America
"Avengers: Age of Ultron" cast member Chris Evans, who plays Captain America in the Marvel superhero film, shared some insights about the development of his patriotic superhero character in the upcoming installment.
When asked about suiting up as Captain America, Evans said he was "very comfortable" after playing the role several times.
"You know, the first movie you're terrified," he told IGN. "The second one you're just intimidated because there's so many great people, but by Captain America 2 you really start hitting your stride and feeling like you're making some core progress with the character. And you get a little more comfortable speaking up when you have opinions."
"It's hard to give too much individual attention to your own plotline in a movie like this. They still give good hurdles to jump, but it's almost ... I'm very excited for Cap 3," the 33-year-old actor admitted.
The actor meanwhile teased Joss Whedon's plan on stepping up the character in terms of fighting abilities.
"The first Captain America, he's just strong. In Avengers it was still, in my opinion, a little bit 'punch, punch, kick, kick.' It's fine but, you know, you can't just be Jason Bourne," he said. "I don't wanna take a step back, so we gotta make sure that he's continuing training. His fight style needs to advance a little bit. I don't wanna go full Bruce Lee but there needs to be more than just haymakers and fun kicks."
After "Avengers: Age of Ultron," which is slated to open in theaters May 1, 2015, Chris Evan's Captain America is set to appear in "Captain America: Civil War" with Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, among others.
