In een interview met USA Weekend besprak Chris Evans hoe Captain America zich in The Avengers aan moet passen in de moderne wereld. Na sinds de jaren ’40 in ijs bevroren te zijn geweest wordt hij gevonden en ontdooid door The Avengers. Evans zei hier over:
Yeah, at least there’s some meat on the bone. You want to play a character that has conflict – that’s what makes a character appealing to an actor, getting to find an arc and a reason, something to chew on. And that’s a lot. If you woke up one day and it was 50, 60 years in the future and everyone you knew had passed away and the entire world around you is different — you don’t have a friend, you don’t know anybody, you don’t know anything — that’d be a lot to take in. It’s exciting as an actor to try and tackle that.En over de geruchten dat Cap zijn eigen lied krijgt in Captain America: The First Avenger:
There is a Captain America song, but I don’t sing it. Initially in the film, when he becomes Captain America, long story short the serum is destroyed and they can’t reproduce the experiment so I’m the only super soldier there is. The U.S. government won’t allow me to go to war because it’s too risky and they can’t afford to lose me, but they use me as a propaganda tool and they send me on a USO Tour. So there’s a whole Captain America song, and they try to make him a little bit of a celebrity to try and sell bonds. There is a Captain America song, and there was a week of shooting, and I had that song in my head. I couldn’t stop humming it! It was so annoying. But it’s a funny sequence actually.Captain America: The First Avenger verschijnt nog dit jaar, op 28 juli. The Avengers staat gepland voor 3 mei 2012.
