Chris Evans Says 'Captain America' Is Still Home Searching In AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON
From his relationship with his Avengers: Age of Ultron co-stars to his Marvel contract, hit the jump and check out the latest from actor Chris Evans on his fourth turn as Captain America and beyond!
When BuzzFeed spoke with Chris Evans on the Avengers: Age of Ultron set earlier this year, he had just filmed a battle sequence with 'Thor' Chris Hemsworth which was described here. "We're buddies!" said Evans of his camaradarie with his Aussie castmate. "We’ve been on a little bit of a ride doing these movies. You make really good friendships. It sounds cliché to say: ‘We all get along so well!’ We really get along phenomenally well. It’s like summer camp." Writer/director Joss Whedon also dotted on his ensemble cast's relationships: "They were very trusting the first time around. But this time, [there’s an] ease and rapport, and just the fun that we have. Everybody’s got franchises and babies. Everyone’s very comfortable with themselves." About the comfort he now has in the Captain America role, Chris Evans explains that "In the beginning, you’re just so grateful. You’re very timid. You’re lucky you got invited to the barbecue, [and] you just don’t want to get in the way. Now, you feel a little more at home, and it feels a little more like a collaboration that you contribute to. If anything’s changed, it’s just my feeling of ‘welcomeness.’ Is that a word, welcomeness? We’re going to make it a word, [frick] it."
Chris Evans then talked about where we'll find Steve Rogers in Avengers: Age of Ultron, following the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. "He’s still looking for a home, probably a metaphorical home," said the actor. "He’s always felt comfortable as a soldier. And he likes structure. He works well taking orders. But when that dynamic turned on him, he’s now left to depend upon his team, the Avengers. There really is no one above them telling them what to do. They’re kind of having to operate independently. So there’s a lot of leaning on one another, but there really isn’t a kind of clear chain of command. And I think Cap looks for that. I think he’s looking to understand where he belongs, not just as a soldier, as Captain America, but as Steve Rogers, as a person." That'll surely carry over when he returns in Captain America 3 in 2016, which Chris Evans says he's looking forward to as well as another Avengers movie. "So halfway through!" he said of the last two Marvel films that he's contractual obliged to appear in. "I mean, I’m going to miss these when they’re done. I really will. This has been a lot of fun, and they’re only getting more fun. Especially because there’s a trust in Marvel that you’re going to make something good. It would really be lousy to be stuck in a contract knowing that you’re making shit. And I just don’t feel that way. It’s really a blessing that this kind of fell in my lap. Sometimes you don’t really feel deserving of it. But I’ll take it." What do you think?
