CHRIS EVANS
reprises his role as
Captain America: The First Avenger in
The Avengers,
alongside a stellar cast
that includes Robert Downey Jr., Chris
Hemsworth, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett
Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow.
What was
The Avengers
experience like for you?
Great. I mean, it’s not easy for Joss
(Whedon), our director. He has a tall
order bringing all these characters and
all these people together. I don’t like
to oversell things before I’ve seen the
final product, but so far everything
I’m seeing I absolutely love. I have
really high hopes.
Off-camera, did you
guys have any sort of
fight for leadership?

fantastic. It really feels like a team.
We all get along phenomenally well
on and off the set. So far, there’s been
no jockeying for position.
Did you feel any kind of
pressure? After all, this
character is so iconic and
has a large fan base.
Of course. You feel pressure with every
movie you make, but a film like this
obviously has a giant following. Those
hardcore fans are the ones that you’re
making the movie for. Without them,
these movies don’t get made. We make
