Be The Captain

Chris Evans told ScreenStar that playing the role of s The First Avenger: Captain America is "intimidating. It's a big responsibility and you want to do your best work."

Evans said that the decision to accept the role was not easy. "It was a challenging process for me, trying to decide whether or not to do it. I came down on the side of going for it because I really think Marvel is doing some great things these days, the script is great and it's going to be a fun character to play," .

Evans says Cap is "a wonderful character, just as a man, aside from the comic hero background. If it was just a story about the man, Steve Rogers, I'd be really interested. He's an incredibly noble, honest, selfless man, and those are qualities that I think people can aspire to and look up to."

The actor will be shooting Captain America and The Avengers back-to-back, and knows that it will be a very time-consuming process for both shoots as will the press tours that follow.

Meanwhile, Marvel chief Kevin Feige. told Movieweb that Evans initially "wasn't on the radar" for the role of Cap because of his past association with Marvel's Fantastic Four films, but that he warmed to the idea after watching him in Sunshine and speaking with Scott Pilgrim vs. the World helmer Edgar Wright about how much Evans has evolved as an actor since FF

"As you start to see more of Chris and where he is growing as an actor it's into a much more Steve Rodgers type place," Feige said.

"He's in England now; he got on one of the first flights after the volcano nonsense went away. He's over there now prepping and rehearsing and the pictures that are coming back and the costume tests are pretty stunning."

Feige also had lots to say about other Marvel movies in the pipeline while promoting Iron Man 2....
