Further covering Empire magazine's March 2012 issue, inside, the actor behind Marvel's "man out of time," Captain America, Chris Evans discusses his first day being on-set of the superhero extravaganza The Avengers. Particularly reminiscing geeking-out at the sight of his costumed co-stars, Chris Evans recalls:
"The first time I came on set and saw other people in costume, it was a night-time scene in the woods and it involved myself, Chris Hemsworth and Downey Jr. I had just seen THOR maybe two nights before, so I got on set and I saw Hemsworth in the cape and immediately thought, 'God, there's Thor, I'm looking at Thor,' and then I saw Downey Jr. in the suit.
It's amazing. The kid in me would say, 'I didn't get to act with Robert Downey Jr., I got to act with Iron Man.' I'd never had that before, where I had seen actors in a film that I was not a part of and then come to work and help them to extend that character's life. It's like being a little kid."
