Here are a few excerpts from an interview Chris Evans did with Red Eye Chicago where he discusses standing next to Chris Hemsworth, the Captain America sequel and fanboy pressure:

You got in great shape for “Captain America,” but do you feel smaller when standing next to Thor/Chris Hemsworth for “The Avengers”?
Oh, yeah, he’s a big dude, man. He’s a big guy.


What’s that like when you spend all that time pumping up and then you go stand next to him?
Well, that’s the way it’s supposed to be. He is a God.


And Captain America’s just an average dude?
That’s right.


How are things going with “The Avengers”? I feel like it would be like hanging out at the All-Star game.
Yeah, it was great. It was a great experience … It couldn’t have gone better. I almost should knock on some wood. It was too good. We all got along so ridiculously well; that type of stuff doesn’t happen in films. It’s just so lucky for a franchise that it happened on a film that we’re all going to be stuck together for quite some time.


What talk has there been lately of the Captain American sequels? When are those starting, and what’s something you’d like to see for those?
The sequels probably won’t start ‘til late next year, so they’re still working on the script. They really haven’t told me much. They’ve got their hands full right now with the third “Iron Man” and trying to get “The Avengers” out.


What’s the challenge of one-upping a good movie like “Captain America” with “The Avengers” and the “Captain America” sequel?
It’s just making sure the fans stay loyal. The comic book fans are pretty harsh and aggressive, and they know what they like and they know what they want, and trying to keep them happy is important. They’re the reason we’re making these movies. So the challenge is always making sure that the die-hard comic book fans are satisfied.


How do you know when they’re satisfied?
Well, you don’t. You just gotta hope. That’s the gamble.


What’s the most memorable reaction you’ve had from someone since you’ve been “Captain America”?
Nothing too crazy. People are pretty respectful. “Hello. Can I take a picture? Sign something.” I haven’t had anyone throw their underwear at me or anything like that.




I'm not sure if it's just how I'm reading the transcript but it seems like Evans really did not like the questions being asked by the interviewee. Click here to read the entire interview and decided for yourself.



Screenwriters Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus said in April 2011, that they have been writing a sequel for Marvel Studios. In a June 2011 interview, the duo stated, "The story will likely be in the present day. We're experimenting with flashback elements for more period World War II stuff. I can't say much more than that but we made it baggy enough to refer to more stories in the past". In September 2011, star Chris Evans said a sequel may not be released until 2014.

Gotta agree with you. For some reason he doesn't sound too happy here.But he has said he isn't really into the whole press thing.
nuck82 - 10/5/2011, 7:51 AM
average dude???? hes a [frick]ing super soldier!!! lol but hes still great yes
nuck82 - 10/5/2011, 7:53 AM
oh and ill throw my underwear at him, if i wore any
ultimatefan1974 - 10/5/2011, 7:59 AM
I think you´d have to get a video or audio ro get his inflection and stuff. The questions and answeres were pretty standard.
MarkJulian - 10/5/2011, 8:03 AM
I'm not talking about the stuff up there, if you read his answers to some of the other questions them seem kind of terse. But then again the guy asked silly questions about The Little Mermaid.
CraptainAmerica - 10/5/2011, 8:09 AM
I think I'd be short with the asshat reporter if I'd worked my arse off in the gym to get in exceptional shape and he spent the first load of questions making me sound inferior.

The dude has also worked none stop for the last two years (Training, filming, press, training, filming...)so no doubt he's looking forward to some rest after the Avengers press push.

I'm sure a video would sort out the arguement as to his tone.
thanos83 - 10/5/2011, 8:36 AM
Nice cap vs thanos manip...Caps greatest moment
ReillyParker - 10/5/2011, 8:37 AM
Nuck, don't lie. We all know you wear Namor's green speedos as undies
criple15 - 10/5/2011, 8:39 AM
I think the questions he got "terse" on (and I would too) the ones that either have nothing to do with any movie he has done and tries to tease him for it or questions if he has done anything at all to live up to the character to then be looked at as an inferior like CraptainAmerica said. Because, you know, the reporter ALWAYS has your best interest at heart for you.... (sarcasm)

I agree with him. Some of these fanboys are just too damn picky and asinine.
GUNSMITH - 10/5/2011, 8:51 AM
I LOVE THE COSTUME BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THE FIRST AVENGER COSTUME THAT MADE IT MORE GRITTY AND REALISTIC. MAYBE DARKER COLORS AND SOMETHING ABOUT FORM AND FUNCTION ,KINDA LIKE HAOW DAREDEVIL'S TAKE WENT FOR MORE "STREET". I MEAN THE NEW COSTUME LOOKS COOL, MUCH MORE LIKE THE COMIC LOOK, BUT THE COLORS MIGHT BE TOO BRIGHT.
Locdogg81 - 10/5/2011, 8:51 AM
No wonder he's pissed. The guy doing the interview and his questions suck. Why the hell would he know why people don't know about his new movie yet? Does he moonlight in the marketing department?
pepe - 10/5/2011, 8:58 AM
I´ll throw my underwear at him... an I´ve got the runs
plasticman - 10/5/2011, 9:30 AM
If only actors could say what they really feel about all these no-name press hounds asking the same questions everyone else is. The interviewer shows why he is a no-name.

When stars have outbursts at paparazzi, interviewer and over zealous fans I understand. I can say I even get frustrated when someone that isn't in my comfort zone speaks to me at the store like I know them.

That being said, I applaud Evans for understanding his role and riding it out. This just makes me more excited to see Christian Bale and Russel Crowe work the media this next year for their movies knowing where they are coming from.
Fogs - 10/5/2011, 9:57 AM
The first 3 questions were so catchy... The dude wanted to ask him why he's smaller this time by the set pics.

We need some interviewers with guts to ask these things directly!
PoPcornDude - 10/5/2011, 10:32 AM
I would like to really meet him, he seems really nice and I'm sure he's HOTTER in person than in the pictures.
write33 - 10/5/2011, 10:32 AM
love the banner. I sorta don't want Thanos this, seems too much to be done right. but eh, i am very excited to see whatever they come up with.
JackBauer - 10/5/2011, 10:37 AM
@nuck - Gusto told me you forgot to pick them up when you left his house last night :D
AvatarIII - 10/5/2011, 11:27 AM
I'm not surprised at how chris answered the questions, this is the guy who almost turned down the role of cap because he doesn't like the attention our doing interviews and stuff, i wish people would remember that.

I. FEEL. POOWWWWEEERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boyle360 - 10/5/2011, 12:13 PM
What's with all the thumbs down on posts about the Avengers recently?!
kylum616 - 10/5/2011, 12:21 PM
boyle360@ die hard dc fanboys crying over the fact we are getting the avengers

"Well, that’s the way it’s supposed to be. He is a God."

"And Captain America’s just an average dude?"

These are kinda douche questions.
Greengo - 10/5/2011, 1:28 PM
Best interview yet. He understands!
sexfoodcomics - 10/5/2011, 1:48 PM
How can he sound happy. Those had to be the worst interview questions I have ever heard.
marantaz - 10/5/2011, 2:03 PM
I'm becoming concerned for The Avengers success, and this is as good a place as any to mention it. Some of the actors have recently expressed their views on political issues, and while I'm not one to say they don't have the right, I do question their intelligence in doing so; there is an extremeely large group of people in the U.S. who will adamantly avoid music, TV, and movies featuring celebs who take any opportunity to express their political beliefs. It amazes me that they are oblivious to the damage their activism does to the product their careers depend on ... and I don't want anything to hinder The Avengers success; if these actors continue to generate press that might negatively impact The Avengers, I will never forgive them, their roles should be recast and their contracts voided. It's one thing when activism damages a silly program like 'Glee' that I never watched anyway, but you mess with The Avengers ... and it's on.

JackBauer - 10/5/2011, 2:25 PM
@grif - That doesn't sound like anyone on here does it? :D
ISeeStupidPeople - 10/5/2011, 2:59 PM
Come the Hell on CBM Ladies, this man has not has a single pair of panties thrown at him yet. You broads are slacking.

This man is playing a fictional comic book character... for his country. It's the least you could do.
ArmoredAsgardian - 10/5/2011, 3:09 PM
@ELgUaSoN, That is a great gif, lol.
Vital - 10/5/2011, 3:11 PM
@Sage, that's pretty amusing considering I've seen you say some pretty crazy shit.

But what Chris said is true, most fans are assholes.
bropous - 10/5/2011, 6:08 PM
grif: All the comic book fans but you, dude!

ELgUaSoN: Agreed. DC punk-ass bitches. They just can't accept that DC is second class in the movie department, but then again, DC is pretty much second class in the COMIC BOOK department. DC is pretty weak. And then taking your flagship characters and turning them over to MEDIOCRE directors (YES, I said MEDIOCRE meaning Nolan, so you Nolanites can just suck my left nut) for MEDICORE films (not ONE DC movie has gone anywhere beyond mediocre) shows a total lack of vision.

DC is WEAK. Marvel is VERY strong. And the whiny little DC bitches who give thumbs down on all the Avengers threads are just that. Punk-ass DC bitches.

Go 52 yourselves, DC punks!
bropous - 10/5/2011, 6:09 PM
By the way: Chris needs some panties thrown his way. Are you reading me, ScarJo? And if not at him, I'd be happy to stand in for target practice...

I think Chris Evans OWNS this role. OWNS it.
DarthLaney - 10/5/2011, 6:21 PM
I've gotten the feeling from almost every photo taken that he isn't having a good time
SweetTooth316 - 10/5/2011, 8:28 PM
ScarJo is throwing her panties at Green Lante...I'm sorry I mean Deadpool...
...or Hannibal King
FriendlyNeighborhoodSpidey - 10/5/2011, 9:23 PM
I don't think he sounds negative or annoyed. I don't know. Maybe I'm not reading it carefully enough. Anyway, sounds good to me.
Vital - 10/5/2011, 10:21 PM
@bropous, you're no better than those who downthumb Marvel articles, so stop being a hypocrite. DC has some of thee most iconic characters. Ever. It just so happens that Marvel is better at making movies of their characters than DC/Warner Bros does. Doesn't mean you're better than anyone else cause you're just a Marvel fan. If anything, you lose out, because you're one sided, like most people. I enjoy both companies equally, but that's because I'm fair minded, and not some internet asshole who thinks they are cooler than somebody else just cause their team is "winning".
MatchesMalone1989 - 10/5/2011, 10:28 PM
Dude should have asked him Why do you keep saying Cap is an average guy when he's a Super Soldier? When he's a leader? When in maximum carnage all he had to do was look at a wild civilian and they stopped [frick]ing around because of his strong presence.
MatchesMalone1989 - 10/5/2011, 10:31 PM
Average guys dont do that
Ichaos - 10/6/2011, 5:35 AM
"...gives a brief update on the Captain America sequal"

"...there still working on the scrpt, they haven't told me much"


Ummmm great update
DorEl87 - 10/7/2011, 4:33 AM
Hey man, i have no doubt that the avengers will be great. Don't hate on nolan cuz he practically revived the batman franchise. fanboys need to take a breather. the damn guy actually cares to make a comic-accurate movie and takes fans into consideration. Give him a break.
Squaremaster - 10/9/2012, 6:56 AM
Nolan's Batman trilogy kicks the F*cking ass of anything that overrated piece of shit Marvel production studios have ever put to film six ways from Sunday!
