I have updated the gallery with four high quality photos of Chris when he was on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last week with Robert Downey Jr. You can also see clips from the interview below if you missed it.
EW.com – All-star Marvel movie Captain America: Civil War isn’t due in theaters until May 6, 2016, but Chris Evans is already excited and talking it up.
The titular star and costar Anthony Mackie (Falcon) spoke with EW and People at last week’s Disney D23 Expo. The pair flew in from Germany, where the project is shooting, and Evans relayed why this one has a different vibe to it.
“A majority of the Marvel films, it’s clear to know who’s right and who’s wrong,” Evans says. “This is one of the first movies where it’s parallel to the arguments, I think, we have in life where nobody’s right, nobody’s wrong. It’s just a matter of opinion.”
Opinions will divide fans, as Civil War is slated to pit the Avengers against each other.
Watch the full interview above and learn what each actor thinks of the other’s superpowers and Mackie’s thoughts on flying around as Falcon.
I am honored today to share insights into the mind of a very special guest. Someone who has been extraordinarily influential, and an inspirational part, of my own journey …
You may know him as Captain America but to me Chris Evans will always be an amazing friend with incredible insight. Chris is the kind of person that looks at life with a bliss filled intrigue, wowed by the way the entire universe works and constantly blown away by the beauty of nature. His energy and enthusiasm are infectious. One of the things I find most alluring about being in his presence is getting to have really incredible, deep conversations.
When we first met, many, many, years ago, we were both in the early stages of becoming aware of our “selves” and finding out what that meant. For him the quest began with numerous questions and reflections, for me, the knowledge that there must be something more. Over the years we have both taken our own unique paths to find the meaning behind each of our individual journeys. Along the way we’ve gotten to share and connect, bouncing what we’ve learned off one another, leading to some of the most thought provoking and inspiring conversations I’ve ever had. All these years later we’ve seen each other grow and evolve, and refine and hone tools that have lead us to live truly aware, and abundant lives.
Today Chris will share some of these insights with you. I hope that it sparks an interest somewhere in the depth of your own being, and that perhaps you even find your own practice. Look a little deeper, ask questions, and then, let go and let the moment take you. Oh, and, Enjoy the Ride!
WHAT THOUGHT PROCESS GETS YOU THROUGH THE UPS AND DOWNS ASSOCIATED WITH LIFE?
WHEN DID YOU START TO THINK THIS WAY AND WHERE DID THESE THOUGHTS ORIGINATE FROM?

Chris and co-star, Scarlett Johansson’s appearance on The Ellen Show aired earlier today. You can check out photos in our gallery and watch clips from the interview below!
Entertainment Tonight posted a flashback video of Chris from an interview in 2001!
The robot revolution has begun and Captain America is without his trusty shield.
Ultron, the unreasonably angry artificial intelligence program, has taken over the form of some battered autonomous Iron Man suits and is using them to blast apart a late-night Avengers party in Stark Tower. Just before a few carefully placed blasts hit the all-American super-soldier, he kicks up a heel, knocks a marble table into the air and uses it to block the attack.
In real life, on the Shepperton Studios set outside London, Chris Evans looks like he’s playing an invisible game of hacky sack. The massive stone table will be digitally added later. (Even though the actor is in great shape, no human foot could casually flip such an object into the air.)
Avengers: Age of Ultron filmmaker Joss Whedon is advising the other heroes to scatter, while Cobie Smulders, playing former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill, dives to the floor just below Cap. Whedon is puzzling over the choreography here.
He jokes that the next shot in the movie will be Hill rising up with all the plates, food, and napkins from the tabletop stuck to her body.
While they sort it out so she doesn’t enter the firefight looking like she just finished a food fight, Evans has some time to talk …
Entertainment Weekly: In the first Avengers film, Cap was the outsider still trying to figure out where he belonged. This time, he’s the leader.
Chris Evans: I think he’s trying to be. I don’t think he’s aggressively barking orders at people, but I think when you have all these powers and abilities, someone needs to steer the ship. So I think that is what he’s trying to do.
EW: The Winter Soldier really upended things for him. His old friend is still alive, maybe still out there, maybe he’s good, maybe not. Is he still grappling with all that?
Evans: That’s the tricky part about these movies. You have to kind of suspend those plotlines temporarily and find reasons to say ‘Okay, we’ll get to that in just one movie. We’ll get right back to that.’ It’s hard to kind of say with too much logic why he’s kind of putting that on the back burner. But he’s addressing the matter at hand, and right now that’s Ultron.
EW: A hero has to multitask.
Evans: Well that’s just it. You need to give a little bit of a nod to it because if you ignore it, it’s insulting the audience’s intelligence. But at the same time, the audience almost has to respect movies: ‘Look, do you guys want this? If you want The Avengers, we have to accept the fact that there’s going to be splinters in our plotlines.’
EW: I feel like Cap is the noblest of all the characters. He’s the only one who knows what it’s like to be powerless. To be on the other side of fear.
Evans: He does have a healthy understanding of what it feels like to be powerless, to be the victim. But he also has a healthy understanding of what it is to be a soldier. I think anytime you meet anyone that’s been in the military, when you fight alongside someone they become a brother. I think in a weird way he looks at his Avengers as his family at this point.
EW: Is family what he wants? A bond with a fellow fighter?
Evans: It’s certainly what he wants, but Cap puts what he wants last. That’s his M.O. And I think for so long he just refuses to bleed on people. So it’s hard to explore a guy who doesn’t want to make waves with his own personal conflict. He’s always trying to help the greater good.
