Avengers’ Chris Evans is delighted to be playing somebody ‘vile’ in Knives Out after Captain America
When it comes to the good guys, there’s nobody purer or more clean-cut than Captain America. So it’s no surprise that Chris Evans is enjoying the change of pace by playing a less-than-lovely murder suspect. The 38-year-old plays Ransom Drysdale-Thrombey in Rian Johnson’s upcoming murder mystery Knives Out and relished the change from playing Steve Rogers in the MCU. Speaking at Variety’s Toronto International Film Festival studio, Chris said: ‘It’s nice to play somebody a little viler. ‘I don’t always get the opportunity to play someone who’s so despicable; so yeah, it’s fun.’
The Avengers actor stars alongside Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Ana de Armas, Don Johnson, Katherine Langford, Lakeith Stanfield and Christopher Plummer in Knives Out. And working with a large cast is obviously something Marvel hero Chris has experience in. He told the Hollywood Reporter: ‘It is kind of a group mentality, so you’re still kind of collaborating with a lot of people, and it is kind of, strangely enough, a similar family dynamic. ‘A different character – in the Marvel movies I play a guy who’s a little more taciturn, a little more selfless, and in this movie, I play a guy that’s a little viler. But the way you come to set every day is still pretty similar.
