Promoting his drama flick
Puncture with
Backstage, what's an interview lately with Chris Evans, if his leading role in
Captain America: The First Avenger, and reprisal in
The Avengers isn't brought up? Not much of an interview at all I reckon. Anyhow, the actor recently rehashed on 'Steve Rogers'' character arc.
"Steve Rogers is a tricky character to play because he doesn't have too much conflict," says Evans. "He's such a selfless person. There's very little that can rattle him. If [your character] doesn't have conflict, it's easy to become boring. It's nice [that in the upcoming film 'The Avengers'] he struggles a little bit. He struggles with being a fish out of water. He's from the '40s; he's from a different mentality. Today the world is text messaging and impersonal and selfishness, and in the '40s there was much more of a human connection and camaraderie among the country. It's an old-fashioned way of thinking. So I think he's struggling with trying to find his place in modern day."
I know we've known for some time now that the film would explore the "fish out of water" dynamic, but just hearing Evans say "text messaging" makes me wonder how deep they'll go. I just hope theres a little "oh, how does that work" left for Steve Rogers in the
Captain America sequel. What do you think?
