CHRIS EVANS - CAPTAIN AMERICA!

How did you get in shape for the role?

I worked out a lot. There was no day I took off and no day where I just took it light or easy.

What were the physical challenges for you?

Getting in and out of the Captain America suit. The Cap suit is a very cumbersome outfit and it wasn’t easy to go for a pee because of all the layers.

What was the coolest set?

I liked seeing the rebirth lab where Steve Rogers goes and gets the injection and becomes Captain America I knew it would be a fun scene to film and to watch.

Were you already a Marvel fanboy?

I was very aware of the Marvel universe. I had to do my homework back in the Fantastic Four days so I knew who Captain America was. I wasn’t a big comic book fan growing up but I’ve definitely become one.

What are your favourite Marvel movies?

I really, really liked Iron Man and I really liked X-Men. Those were fantastic movies. They had fantastic stories!

How do you feel about seeing yourself on screen?

I always watch my movies when they’re done because I’m excited to see the final product. I try to have one or two viewings and then I let it go, because the more I watch something I’ve done the more critical I become.

 

Do you have all your own films on DVD and Blu-ray?

My mother has them all in triplicate, but I just have a couple of them, I think.

Is there anything you have in common with Captain America?

I’m not saying my moral compass is as unflappable as Cap’s but hopefully that’s something we can all relate to – we just want to be good people!

Captain America: The First Avenger is out on 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray Triple Play and DVD on 5th December from Paramount Home Entertainment
