Chris Evans seems to be the talk of San Fransisco's WonderCon. During a press conference for The Losers he actually talked a little about the role of Steve Rogers.

"I think Marvel is doing a lot of good things right now. It's a fun character. Even if it wasn't a comic book. I think the story of Steve Rogers is great. He's a great guy. Even if it was just a script about anybody, I'd probably want to do it.

"He's a great character to play. He just happens to be a comic-book hero, too, and that's where I'm coming from."



He also went on to talk a about the fact that this will be his fifth comic book movie.

"I don't have a history or love of reading them. I didn't grow up reading them, but they're fantastic for film."

"It's an intangible thing," he said. "You have all of these different creative people come together trying to make something. The director is the quarterback trying to bridge the gap of all these different artists together with words. A lot of the times, the message can be lost in translation.

"The beautiful thing about comic books or even movies based on novels, you have a blueprint, you have something tangible thing where you can go, 'This is the world we're going for.' Especially in comic books you have a color palette, you have a visual home base to root yourself in. As an actor it's nice knowing at least the people behind the visual element to the film have this nice blueprint to work off. As an actor you have something to go off of too. It's a treat! It's always nice working on a comic book (film) because you know what you're getting into beforehand.".
