Deadpool & Wolverine Star Is So Thankful to Play Johnny Storm Again

As a long-time Marvel fan, I must say, it’s a sheer delight to witness Chris Evans reprise his role as Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch, in the blockbuster hit “Deadpool & Wolverine.” His portrayal of Captain America has been iconic, but there’s something truly special about seeing him light up the screen in a more unconventional way.


Attention! The information below includes SPOILERS from Deadpool & Wolverine. Chris Evans expresses his joy at yelling “flame on” again in this film. This renowned actor is most recognized for his unparalleled performance as Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yet, before he stepped into his well-known red-white-and-blue uniform and brandished the signature vibranium shield, Evans played yet another superhero altogether.

Chris Evans kicked off his Marvel journey portraying the impulsive Johnny Storm, also known as the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four. On July 31st, he shared a behind-the-scenes picture (see below) on Instagram, expressing gratitude towards Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Shawn Levy. Here’s what he wrote:

I’m grateful to @vancityreynolds, @thehughjackman, and @slevydirect for including me in such an extraordinary film! These three are truly remarkable individuals you’d be lucky to meet. A special thanks to Ryan for making it possible. Bringing Johnny back to life was a dream realized and he will forever hold a special place in my heart.

In the year 2005 and its sole sequel, “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” Chris Evans portrayed Jessica Alba’s super-powered sibling. Four years later after that sequel, Evans found himself recast within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, taking on the leading role in 2011’s “Captain America: The First Avenger.”

In the thrilling world of Deadpool & Wolverine, I couldn’t help but do a double-take when I first laid eyes on Evan’s character in The Void. Initially, it seemed as if the actor was embodying Captain America, given his striking resemblance. However, it didn’t take long before Johnny started cranking up the intensity, stealing the limelight even from Pyro (Aaron Stanford) as he prepared to absorb his powers.

‘Ryan Might Be the Only Guy That I Would’ve Done It For’

In simple terms, the movie starring Deadpool and Wolverine continues to be the top-rated film globally. The action-packed comedy and violence it offers are as anticipated as ever. However, one of the most thrilling aspects is discovering all the unexpected appearances by various characters. For instance, if Chris Evans and Ryan Reynolds weren’t friends, Johnny Storm (played by Evans) might not have appeared in the movie, hiding from Cassandra Nova (portrayed by Emma Corrin). In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Evans mentioned this possibility.

“To be honest, Ryan is the one person I would consider for such an action due to his extraordinary talent, often referred to as the Midas touch. His keen self-awareness seems almost unbeatable. He has a knack for anticipating humor, beating the audience to their punchlines. When it comes to reintroducing characters in a story, if you’re grappling with how to make it engaging, Ryan’s wit can usually find a way. His humor creates an instant feeling of comfort and security.”

Evans continued (below):

As a passionate fan, I popped by for just a couple days to film some scenes. For me, getting into character as Johnny wasn’t too tough this time around because the costume didn’t need to be perfect – after all, my character was supposed to look a bit rundown in this project.

As a gamer putting myself in Ryan Reynolds’ shoes, it seemed like a breeze to persuade my better half, Blake Lively, for her Lady Deadpool role in the film. After all, we’re married! But here’s the kicker: My real-life connections turned out to be quite the game-changer when it came to beefing up the roster for Deadpool and Wolverine’s dance card. I mean, who would have thought that Blade (Wesley Snipes), Elektra (Jennifer Garner), and Gambit (Channing Tatum) would join in on the fun? And let’s not forget about Matthew McConaughey’s Cowboy Deadpool – a truly unforgettable addition to the team!
