Talking with
Fans Share, the actor behind 'Captain America' in the highly-anticipated assembly of Marvel's
The Avengers, Chris Evans, discussed sharing the workload this time around; in addition to praising "The Man" Stan Lee. Also commenting on
The Avengers essential plot, seemingly teasing the guaranteed sequel, read on below!
“It’s a lot easier now. Now that we’ve gotten past that first wave of Captain America and the press and all that madness and now we’re into The Avengers, where I get to share some of the work load, it’s become a lot easier.”
"[Stan Lee]’s fantastic. He did a cameo on the Fantastic Four films, so I’ve met him a few times, and he was just amazing. He’s a living legend. He’s got so much energy and so much personality and he’s so positive, always smiling and always cracking jokes. He really is one amazing human being.”
"There are a lot of growing pains that The Avengers have to work out in the first film but I’m not going to get too into detail because Marvel will kill me. So you’ll just have to wait and see the film in March ... May? ... May!”
Although we're fully aware Marvel Studios are developing "phase two" of 'The Avengers' assembly, as we approach the first film's release, I really like how Evans says "the first film," alluding that the sequel's plot has been at least discussed. Anyhow, reshoots went underway this week with confirmed appearances by Evans, Robert Downey Jr.,
Samuel L. Jackson, as well Clark Gregg and Tom Hiddleston.
Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures “Marvel’s The Avengers”--the super hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel super heroes Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins.

Jackson, & directed by Joss Whedon from a screenplay by Joss Whedon, “Marvel’s The Avengers” is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963 and a comics institution ever since.
