In case you missed their live streaming interview with the star of next week's
Captain America: The First Avenger film, Chris Evans,
MTV News have been unveiling segments from the lengthy chat today. And the latest highlights Evans' praise for
The Avengers director Joss Whedon, as well Steve Rogers' storyline in the crossover ensemble.
"He's unbelievable," Evans said. "He's so clever. He lives in the world of comic books, so he has in his head an amazing story all mapped out. When it comes to directing actors and understanding dialogue, he's an incredibly talented writer. If something isn't working for you as an actor within the words, he can walk away for 10 minutes and come back with seven options that are all fantastic and clever and witty and it's got a pace and a banter," he explained. "He's a great guy to be quarterbacking the thing."
"It's really multifaceted. [Cap] has to accept fact that everyone he knew and loved is gone," Evans said of his character's new arc. "Not only is he alone, [but] the world has changed so much, and I think a big part of what makes Cap Cap was his connection to the way things used to be, this kind of pro-American morality and good-ol'-boy sense of life and doing things," he added. "In the modern era, there's a bit of a disconnect. There's not as much human interaction. I think there's more cynicism than there was back then, so it's him trying to come to terms with the way things are."
