His brother Scott Evans is looking for a job now that One Life to Live has inexplicably written out his storyline. But Chris Evans isn’t waiting for work, according to The Hollywood Reporter.The hunky star of the Fantastic Four films has accepted the role of Captain America.
Evans’ offer would include starring in up to three America movies plus The Avengers movies and appearances in several other Marvel movies. While an offer to star in America may seem like something you don’t have to mull over too long, one possible complication is that Evans is committed to co-starring in the Anna Faris romantic comedy What’s Your Number? Both are scheduled to shoot this summer.The role of Captain America and his alter ego Steve Rogers has been one of the most heavily scrutinized parts by the industry, the media and the comic book fandom in recent memory.Evans wasn’t in the initial round of actors being considered, which for the most part leaned to the newcomer side.
Michael Cassidy, Patrick Flueger, Scott Porter, Wilson Blethel and Mike Vogel, on top of John Krasinski and Chace Crawford, were those testing and reading. Garrett Hedlund was also someone Marvel was interested in.Joe Johnston is directing America which shoots in England.Evans, also repped by 3 Arts Entertainment, has the DC Comics adaptation The Losers in the can and also appears in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Edgar Wright’s adaptation of the popular Oni Press graphic novel series.
