In a recent interview with EW.com, Evans talks about both being the skinny side of Steve Rogers, and simultaneously being the underdog of the film.
On his originally expecting to be shrunk by CGI, and his reaction when a double was wanted...
“When I signed up, I thought they were going to use special effects to shrink me down.”
“Not to be an annoying actor about this, but the skinny part of the performance is going to be when the audience decides if they care about Captain America, because Captain America is that little guy at heart. It had to be me. I had to make that guy.”
On Rogers' being the underdog in the beginning...
“It’s a great story about a relatable guy, he’s an underdog who despite shortcomings chooses the good instead of bitterness. I think anyone is capable of that.”
Captain America: The First Avenger arrives in theaters July 22nd, later this year!
