    The way he talks about figuring out why people love a character and honouring it rather than just doing their own thing, is something more actors in such iconic roles should learn about.

      I don't necessarily think it's the actors you gotta worry about it in that regard. A lot of them show reverence for what the characters mean to people generally it's on the studio level, the writers directors and producers, where you have people that decide they know better than the source material

    It goes underappreciated how much talent it takes to play a character like Johnny Storm and have a switch up like playing Captain America and not have one role mar the perception of the other. The time gap in between movies helped but I remember at the time of him being casted as Cap there was a lot of worry and complaints that he couldn't do it because of the perception of playing a role like Johnny in technically the same comic universe.

    • @xanschneider
      @xanschneider Рік тому +90

      No offense to Evans. He is a decent actor. But his roles were mainly teen dramas and superheroes. Those films don’t really take a whole lot of acting range and skills. I would love to see him in more demanding roles like his protagonist role in Snowpiercer. Because he definitely got the chops.

With Steve there they either just had that dance and then stayed a part despite knowing they could now be with each other or they had to sneak around or something; they couldn’t have had a normal life together without changing the present day timeline since it would alter the chain of events that led to it.
