That Time Chris Evans Got Real About The Weirdness Of Filming Marvel Movies For So Long: ‘No Disrespect’

For nearly a decade, Chris Evans has devoted much of his acting career to playing Captain America in various Marvel productions, starting with “Captain America: The First Avenger” in 2011 and concluding with “The Avengers: Endgame” in 2019. This prolonged stint in the superhero genre culminated in his role as a lead actor in the upcoming romantic comedy, “Materialists,” which has led Evans to openly discuss the unique experience of filming Marvel movies for such an extended period.

What Did Chris Evans Say About The Weirdness Of Filming Marvel Movies For So Long?

As a devoted Marvel fan, I’ve noticed that a significant portion of these films showcase Chris Evans in his iconic role as the First Avenger. While working on an MCU production is undeniably fulfilling, it also comes with its quirks – take, for example, the exhausting process of re-recording grunts during post-production. Recently, during a candid conversation with my fellow Marvel superhero Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans opened up about the peculiarities of filming these movies. He highlighted, in particular, how surreal the experience could often be.

Those movies have a unique quality that goes beyond the filmmaking itself. The pacing is often stop-and-start, and the action scenes are presented in small, scattered segments. Furthermore, the roles we’ve been accustomed to for quite some time feel very comfortable and familiar. I adore these films, but transitioning from them into a new project with a different acting style, collaborating with new artists, it’s like venturing into unexplored territories after working on Marvel productions. It’s thrilling to experience such a change of pace.

His disclosure was sparked by Johansson discussing the “frequently monotonous days” they experienced during the production of their blockbuster superhero movies, where they needed to be focused for brief periods for specific scenes. The details weren’t elaborated, but it seems reasonable to assume that filming large-scale action sequences and scenes involving green screens or special effects might have required a lot of pauses and resumes.

One aspect I hadn’t considered before would be the shift in rhythm when making movies outside of Marvel, especially since Chris Evans, now sporting a beard, had to adapt to an entirely new approach in films like “Knives Out”. Not only did he need to rediscover his character, but also learn how to work effectively with a fresh team consisting of actors, directors, and crew members, as the Marvel Cinematic Universe served as a familiar base for quite some time.

Fortunately, “The Red One” star excels in his role and appears to handle his “thrilling” shift in genre effortlessly over the past few years. As of now, it’s uncertain if he’ll appear in any future Marvel films, but we can be certain that Chris Evans will likely continue to entertain us for a substantial period.
