In yet another portion of MTV's recent interview with Captain America:The first Avenger star Chris Evans, Chris has plenty to say about why so many CBMs are being made. He also discusses who the films are made for.

“First and foremost, these movies get made because they built an audience. If you didn’t have this kind of following and awareness of the property, I don’t think the producers would be as eager to dump all this money into the movies. So, first and foremost, we need the fans, we owe the fans, the fans are what makes these movies work."

“They are everywhere right now because the truth is there is a great blueprint when it comes to comic books – you can really turn to something that is already so well laid out. The format of a comic book, it’s such a seamless transition from a comic book to a film; I mean that is the storyboard. So you have this tangible product to bring to all these creative people to say 'this is the goal, this is the look, this is what we’re after.'”

After being deemed unfit for military service, Steve Rogers volunteers for a top secret research project that turns him into Captain America, a superhero dedicated to defending America's ideals.

Joe Johnston's Captain America: The First Avenger starring Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving, Hayley Atwell and Tommy Lee Jones is set to hit theaters July 22nd. That would be this Friday!

well said by Chris. He seems to get it. He seems to be some of the very few actors in Hollywood that takes pride in what he does, he seems to be very serious about it. You can tell by the deal he signed with Marvel. How many films is he due to make? Thats
is a huge commitment. His career could take a serious blow if it dont work out. he could be tight casted for a very long time. but if the films are done right, then he will be a icon type level when it comes to CBM's

It's too bad so FEW people see things this way!

All the jack asses on this web site that LOVE it when they take something from the comics that is great and make garbage out of it in the movies ALWAYS say the FANS DON'T COUNT

Well this is PROOF that sometimes we DO

Hawkeye's uniform would look like a cleaned Jack Sparrow, it would be just too funny.

Thats what gets me the most about some of the studios that are putting out cbm they seem to forget that without the comic fans there would be no comic to adapt. They seem to feel the need to dump on the very audience that want the movie made the most. I understand changing things up to appeal to a larger audience but does that mean you have to forget about the fan boy and ruin the established comics history.

@ Nomis

That was Fox that pulled the strings to make a quick buck. Also, Chris was young and immature at that time. He's grown up and shows that in playing Captain America. He's not the wise cracking a$$ that he played in FF.

FINALLY SOMEONE IN HOLLYWOOD THAT GETS IT.

Not just about the audience but what he said about comics is what I've thought about the medium for years. They're just like storyboards for movies so when you adapt one, you can literally lift scenes the pages of the source material. No other medium allows a filmmaker to do that. The blueprint is already there and it already proved itself to be successful otherwise, the movie wouldn't get made in the first place. So when you fail to create a successful movie based on a comic or a manga, there's really no excuse.

God, I love this guy.
