When he spoke during the Salt Lake Comic Con panel last September 26, "Captain America: Civil War" lead star Chris Evans shared some interesting details about the feud his character will have with fellow Avenger Iron Man, played by Robert Downey Jr.
"Tony actually thinks we should be signing these accords and reporting to somebody and Cap, who's always been a company man and has always been a soldier, actually doesn't trust anymore. Given what happened in Cap 2, I think he kind of feels the safest hands are his own," Evans said, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
Evans said that Cap's concerns are understandable, but it is also tough to understand because Iron Man presents a pretty powerful case.
"Because even reading the script, you think I think I agree with Tony in a way, and I do agree that to make this work, you do need to surrender to the group. It can't just be one person saying this is right and this is what we're going to do," he explained.
"But Cap has his reasons, he certainly has his reasons, and he is a good man and his moral compass is probably the cleanest," Evans added. "This is a tough thing. This is what made it so interesting while we were filming, and it's hopefully what will make the movie great is nobody's right, nobody's wrong. There's no clear bad guy here. We both have a point of view, which is akin to most disagreements in life and politics."
Evans has really come a long way playing "The First Avenger," but he admits that he was initially very concerned how people will respond to the superhero. In fact, when he first put on Captain America's costume, he was "riddled with foolish, foolish, regrettable insecurity."
"Now it's become something really special," Evans said. "Now that we've had a couple movies, it's been nothing but positivity. On 'Cap 2' or 'Avengers 2,' somewhere in there, you really start settling in and appreciating it and now it's just gravy."
It might sound insane for some people that Evans even had any doubts to portray Captain America, but not all superhero movies have been successful, and playing the right or wrong character can make or break an actor's career.
Evans already got stung playing Johnny Storm in the original "Fantastic Four" film, but he finally got it right with Marvel's Captain America.
