Avengers star Chris Evans has revealed he was a Batman fan while growing up. The actor, who plays fan favourite Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, said his revelation about arch-rival DC's Dark Knight would land him in a soup. "I wasn't that cool – I was more into cartoons like Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes, things like that.
"I'll say Batman. I probably shouldn't say that – it's DC, I'm gonna get in trouble. But those Michael Keaton movies, those were pretty big, so yeah I'll say Batman," Evans recalled when asked a fan question by The Hollywood Reporter.
The actor also revealed what his favourite scene as Captain America has been. "I'm partial to that fight scene in the elevator (from 'Captain America: The Winter Solider'). That was the first scene we shot in the second Captain America movie. It was my first time working with the Russos. It was the first time where it felt like Cap was kind of on his own.
"The first Cap movie, it felt like everyone was really holding my hand. And the first Avengers movie, I just did my best to not get in the way," Evans, 37, added. He will next be seen in "Avengers: Endgame", which is slated to be released in the UK cinemas on April 25 and the US theatres on April 26.
Marvel Studios released a new set of character posters on Tuesday, just one month before the mega release on April 26. All the character posters bear the same line ‘Avenge the fallen’ with the ‘A’ in fallen written in Avengers’ logo style. Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Brie Larson, Mark Ruffalo, Elizabeth Olsen and the other cast of Avengers: Endgame shared the posters on their social media account. It seems like the remaining Avengers have vouched to avenge the death of their comrades and half of the population that was wiped off from the face of Earth.
