Oh, and if we could give Evans an award just for that super cool elevator fight scene alone, we would. In a callback to a promise he made to Bucky in his first film (“I’m with you ‘til the end of the line”), Evans does a heartbreakingly good job at portraying Cap’s fierce loyalty to his friends even when they’ve gone too far off the deep end.
Along the way, Cap finds himself at odds with the unjust policies of the government that he once held in high regard. Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014)Ĭaptain America: Winter Soldier takes the unshakably self-assured hero down a dark path as he struggles to reconnect with his best-friend-turned-HYDRA-assassin Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan). It’s a one-way ticket to a kickass performance that you don’t want to miss. Thanks to Snowpiercer’s R-rating, however, the grit and anger that Evans conjures for this role really shine through. Like Captain America, Everett has a distaste for societal injustice that Evans plays with strong emotional vulnerability. All hell breaks loose when Everett shepherds his team of rebels to the front of the train, uncovering dark secrets in the process. The train has an unfair social hierarchy, with wealthy folks riding in luxury cars located at the front of the train, while low-income folks are crammed in the back. The year is 2031 and humans have failed to stabilize the effects of climate change, leaving the last remaining humans to create a semi-functioning society on a train that endlessly circles the frozen earth. Snakes on a plane? How about Chris on a train? In South Korean writer-director Bong Joon Ho’s political sci-fi thriller Snowpiercer, the fate of lower-class rebels rests in Curtis Everett's (Evans) hands. Where to watch: Showtime, FuboTV, DirecTV, or rentable on other platforms. The best part about this film is that it purposefully banks on the self-awareness of Evans’ physical attributes, allowing more of his innate comedic ability and natural charm to shine through during vulnerable moments.

It’s a goofy situation, and paired with the comedic prowess of Farris, the movie also contains one of Evans’ most underrated, silly, and best romantic lead roles to date. The plot’s premise centers around Ally Darling (Anna Farris), a quirky thirty-something who enlists the help of her hot neighbor Colin Shea (Evans) to track down her ex-boyfriends due to her outdated sexual insecurities.
#NEW CAPTAIN AMERICA ACTOR NAME UPGRADE#
If you’re looking for an upgrade from Evans’ romantic role in Not Another Teen Movie, then What’s Your Number is definitely for you. Released the same year as Captain America: The First Avenger, this film further showcases Evans’ range in powerful performances no matter the subject. Puncture is an uneven film, but it offers Evans one of his most complex roles, portraying a troubled and passionate amateur lawyer who struggled with major addiction. In Puncture, Evans takes on his first biopic role as the late lawyer Mike Weiss who fought against “Big Pharma” to ensure that doctors and nurses have access to safe single-use syringes in hospitals. In Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Evans plays Lucas Lee, an overconfident action star and overzealous ex who aims to destroy the life of the titular Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) after discovering he’s been dating his former middle school girlfriend (Mary Elizabeth Winstead.) Though Evans briefly appears in the movie, his character’s wacky bravado and sweet skateboarding antics have packed a pretty big punch in Evans’ iconic filmography. Prepare to feel the wrath of the league of evil exes. Where to watch: Freevee (with ads), or rentable on other platforms. The story follows an unsuspecting man named Ryan (Evans) as he races through the streets of Los Angeles uncovering LAPD corruption and crime rings after he receives a phone call from a kidnapped woman (Kim Bassinger.) While not critically favored, it is great to see Evans’ first foray into the action genre as he takes on a more serious persona. Where to watch: DirecTV, or rentable on other platforms.Įvans helmed his first action-thriller role in the movie Cellular. Read our review of Not Another Teen Movie. Written purposefully as a parody of other popular teen romantic comedies like Pretty in Pink, American Pie, and 10 Things I Hate About You, Evans’s ability to be douchey and charming at this stage of his early career is the perfect beginning for his eventual roles as the leading man in other romantic comedies like What’s Your Number. In the movie, Wyler is the popular high school jock with the seemingly perfect life and perfect cheerleader girlfriend until, of course, the school’s most unpopular (but smart!) girl undergoes a makeover that redirects the popular jock’s attention. New to the Hollywood scene, Evans played his first “loveable schmuck” role as Jake Wyler in Not Another Teen Movie. Where to watch: Rentable on Amazon and other platforms.
