93-3-WMR Audio on Demand presents the Preston and Steve Show podcast.

You guys went to see the movie and gave us favorable reviews.

Oh, yeah, with that.

Absolutely.

On Captain America.

And that hits theaters today officially.

And this guy, no stranger to the world of superheroes.

Of course, he was in Fantastic Four.

Yeah. And it was also in Scott Pilgrim. He does a great job at Scott Pilgrim. Yeah. I thought that was a great movie. Well, let's get him on the line. Please welcome. As Captain America this run, Chris Evans is always. Hello. Hello. Morning, Chris. How you doing, man? Very well. How are you?

Good. Thanks for coming on this morning.

Hey, thanks for having me.

Chris, you did a great job with the movie. We loved it. Casey and I got to see a screening of it. And I have to ask you because you had, you did come from the Fantastic Four franchise. Did you, were you a little reticent jumping into another commitment like this?

Oh, absolutely.

I mean, you know, the Marvel fans, the comic book universe has some rabid fans.

Well, you know, the second they announced you, I thought, perfect,

because you needed a guy, you know, you have the physicality for it.

But the other thing that you have is you have the comedic chops.

And I think when people are able to be comedic in performances,

I mean, Steve Rogers is a little bit of a throwback to a classic kind of hero, you know, not campy, but a different kind of guy, and I thought you could nail it. Sure, sure, absolutely right. Kind of a no-nonsense guy. There's an earnesty there. There's, you know, there's integrity. And, yeah, I didn't really get to lean on the kind

of why that's bread and butter that I normally... Right, right. But I think that's served it well. Oh, good. Oh, thanks, man. Was one character more fun than the other to play, Johnny Storm or Captain America? That's a tough call. Yeah, it's a tough call. I mean, there's no denying. They come to work every day and cracking jokes and being a smart ass is fun.
