Chris Evans is Open to Reprising his Role as Human Torch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Chris Evans says he's more excited about the prospect of restoring Human Torch in the MCU than he is about resurrecting Steve Rogers.

Chris Evans as Human Torch


Chris Evans may make a cameo appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but not as Steve Rogers. Evans had, after all, spent a lot of time in the MCU, including starring in three of his own Captain America films. He has subsequently withdrawn from the role of Steve Rogers, with Anthony Mackie (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) set to take over as the new shield wielder in Captain America 4.

Evans may believe he's done everything he can with Captain America, but he hasn't ruled out a return to the MCU. Evans reflected on his superhero movie work in a recent interview with MTV News to help promote Lightyear. He was asked if he would consider reprising his role as Johnny Storm, or the Human Torch, from the Fantastic Four films. Evans was intrigued by the notion and stated that he would be willing to consider it, much more so than returning as Steve Rogers.

"Wouldn't that be great? No, no one's ever come to me about that. I mean, I don't exactly look the same anymore. That was 15, almost 20 years ago. But I do love that character… Yeah, look, I would love it! I would love it. That would actually be an easier sell to me than coming back as Cap. You know, Cap is so precious to me, and I almost don't want to disrupt what a beautiful experience that was. But, Johnny Storm, I feel like he really didn't get his day. That was before Marvel really found its footing. I really love that role, so, who knows."


Chris Evans hasn't ruled out a Captain America comeback completely


While Chris Evans has no plans to return his Captain America role anytime soon, he hasn't completely slammed the door and thrown away the key. Evans had stated in a recent interview with ComicBook.com that he was hesitant to return to the part, and that the only thing that could persuade him to do so would be a "great" idea. He simply believes that the character was given a fantastic send-off, and that resurrecting him in another film or series would taint the legacy of his Steve Rogers story.

"That appears to be something that people want to see. I don't want to let anyone down, yet it's difficult... It was a fantastic run, and I'm overjoyed. It's quite valuable to me. It'd have to be flawless. It would simply be terrifying to shake something so precious to me. That part is extremely important to me. It would be a tall order to revisit it."

Who knows if Evans will return to the MCU in the future, whether as Johnny Storm or Steve Rogers. Fans will soon be able to see Evans in his new film, The Gray Man, which will be released on Netflix on July 22. Evans is most known for his role as Buzz Lightyear in the new animated film Lightyear, which is currently in theatres.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

GoT's Lena Headey Sued Over Cut Thor: Love and Thunder Role

Image
Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
