Chris Evans reveals his first day on The Avengers set
Captain America actor Chris Evans has revealed he watched the Marvel movie Thor a few nights before he was due on the set of The Avengers for the first time. Chris admitted that when he saw Chris Hemsworth on The Avengers set in his full on Thor costume, he actually felt a little over awed by the whole thing.
Evans explained, “The first time I came on set and saw other people in costume, it was a night-time scene in the woods and it involved myself, Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr. I had just seen Thor maybe two nights before, so I got on set and I saw Hemsworth in the cape and immediately thought, 'God, there’s Thor, I’m looking at Thor,' and then I saw Downey Jr. in the suit.”
Chris Evans is likely to be portraying Captain America for a number of years to come, as he is already signed on to appear in the Captain America sequel and he is also expected to appear in The Avengers sequel. The Avengers also stars Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner. The Avengers has been directed by Joss Whedon and is set to be released on April 27 in the UK and May 4 in the US.
