'Captain America' actor Chris Evans reveals role of superhero suits him
Steve Rogers is a scrawny guy who is transformed into a World War II super-soldier in "Captain America: The First Avenger," the latest comic book adaptation to invade theaters.
In a rather similar way, Chris Evans, the hunky actor who plays the title role, underwent some super-scrutiny himself to fill the shoes of the Marvel superhero in the 3D film, which hits screens Friday.
A big issue was the Captain America suit, which had to retain its retro patriotic zeal and yet look plausible to modern audiences.
"It was a little overwhelming," recalls Evans, 30, talking by phone a few days ago from New York during a publicity tour that would include playing beer pong on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and ringing the New York Stock Exchange opening bell.
"The first couple of fittings you'd have, you'd go in there and you'd put on the suit. And then they would file in about 20 people to take notes. You have three or four people dedicated just to the gloves and three or four people just to the boots."
And then there was the matter of the iconic shield, which required numerous prototypes and screen tests.
"It's amazing how different shields changed the whole look of the outfit, so that was another process," says the actor, who wields the bullet-stopping weapon in some dazzling action scenes.
Aside from the wardrobe, there was the challenge of capturing Captain America's personal qualities. Evans says he and Steve Rogers have at least one aspect in common.
"I think I have a pretty unsilenceable conscience," says Evans, who sounds a bit guarded as he deals with the media blitz for his biggest cinematic role yet.
"I think part of Captain America is that he does things not for anybody else, not because he's waiting for praise or reward. He just does it because it's right. It's the type of thing that if he didn't do it, and the only person who knew about it was him, he wouldn't be able to live with that. It's too much. In some ways, sometimes my brain or my heart just won't let me not do something. If you know something is right, it just has to be done, then you have to do it."
Does that mean he can't deal with something like unpaid parking tickets? Evans relaxes with a laugh. "That, I'm not sweating," he says.
In a month dominated so far by "Transformers" mayhem, "Captain America" could bring a welcome humanity back to the superhero genre, much as "Super 8" did for sci-fi adventures.
