Chris Evans Says Captain America Is Not a "Wise Ass," "He’s a Leader."

;P

no one lines like green lantern?!cap ftw!

I think Marvel knocked it out of the park with the majority of casting for these movies. still not completely sold on Ruffalo, and truly think Scarlet sucks dicks as Black Widow. But Ruffalo is a solid actor and Scarlet is a supporting character or should be.

Evans is going to surprise the hell out of a lot of people who see him as Ryan Reynolds Lite

I'm sticking to my guns and saying this movie can still knock Harry Potter off the number one spot this weekend if it does above a $70 million opening!

Evans really got the character and the fact that he was actually worried why they were approaching him knowing he'd already been pigeonholed as the wise-ass and they still wnet for it really shows alot of faith in him.

*problem*

Yeah Reynolds has always played the smart-ass womanizer, Green Lantern could've really shown a different acting side of Ryan's and that he can do more serious roles. I have alot of respect for Evans now, he knows his roles and this film can open so many doors for him. He's a rising star and I see good things coming for the guy

he doesn't wise crack because Marvel is good with their characters.

@ ceejay

are you crazy? so you think this movie will beat Harry Potter? yep, you're crazy.

@CorndogBurglar - I'm not crazy, but I have been studying the box office for years and here's the facts, check it for yourself...

Harry Potter 2nd weekend drops:

HP1 - 2nd week=$57 million, 36% drop.
HP2 - 2nd week=$42 million, 52% drop.
HP3 - 2nd week=$34 million, 62% drop.
HP4 - 2nd week=$54 million, 46% drop.
HP5 - 2nd week=$32 million, 57% drop.
HP6 - 2nd week=$29 million, 62% drop.
HP7 - 2nd week=$49 million, 60% drop.

There's a trend here of Potter films opening well and then trailing very badly in their 2nd weeks due to the fact they are largely fan based and the fans go early to see the films, more so with this one which went for the record with all guns blazing with a very wide release. None of these films made over $60 million in their 2nd week, only 6 films ever have made over that amount in the 2nd week in history and the highest ever done was $75 million!

So Captain America even with a 3500 theatre count, could very well dethrone HP with a solid opening weekend between $60-75 million. With strong marketing and possible good reviews behind along with a high buzz of expectation, Captain America could have a slightly bigger opening than Thor's $66 million. Especially considering the holiday period and that could very well be enough to make it number one next week!

One more thing, HP just did an $18 million monday at the box office, exactly what TF3 did and $6 million less than what Pirates 4 did. All that huge opening was it blowing its wad, the movie is already beginning to trail off like its predecessors.

You know what's interesting?

When GL's 1st trailer was released, there was the wise-ass Hal Jordan they've developed, probably emulating RDJ's Iron Man style (since that superhero succeded, and batman wasn't a good reference to GL). After the major bashing from everyone, they reduced this style regarding the trailers. But the cheap humor was already in the movie.

Cap has the bashed "can I go to the bathroom" and "taller" jokes in most trailers/spots but seems to be a much more serious movie.

Trailers are so edited that we can't REALLY think the movie mood is in there.

@SuspenseSmith ^^ -

And Nick Fury is the tolkein...... one eyed guy.....

we will see... and HP will own Cap... Though I will be seeing it for sure... I see all CBMs twice if I think they are good.

A negative review (if you can call it that... it's more of a plot synopsis that never mentions such things as acting, cinematography, pacing or really how effective anything was) went up from the Village Voice reviewer. She seems upset that the film didn't fully explore the issues of the motives behind WWII more than anything.

Ryan Rynolds was a good cast for green lantern, because that is what hal jordan is, a womanizing wise ass, its joked about many times in the comics, its just that the movie was poorly laid out, and they had him want to quit being a lantern half way through the movie, which was ridiculous. But Rynolds was actually i thought a great cast for Green Lantern

Good to know.

@Ceejay: Must admit that you do know your shit about this stuff. I'm still skeptical but you've got me believing more that Cap will come out on top this weekend.

nothing, i'm just a kid from Brooklyn...........a humble Cap
