Chris Evans thinks superhero movies deserve a little more credit

Chris Evans has recently spoken in favour of superhero movies during an appearance at Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle over the weekend.

“Comic book movies in general, for whatever reason, don’t always get the credit I think they deserve,” said the Marvel star.

Evans stated, “They are these big, giant movies. There’s a lot of cooks in the kitchen. But the empirical evidence is in. They are not easy to make.”

“If it was easier, there would be a lot more good ones,” argued the 42-year-old.

The Fantastic Four actor shared, “I am not throwing shade!”

“I’ve been a part of a few that missed. It happens. Making a movie is tough. More cooks in the kitchen doesn’t make it easier,” noted Evans.

The actor pointed out, “I don’t want to highlight specific films in the Marvel catalogue but some of them are phenomenal.”

“Like independently, objectively great movies, and I think they deserve a little more credit,” he added.

Reflecting on 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Evans revealed, “It’s my personal favourite Marvel movie that I was a part of.”

“It’s not just for the movie itself but the experience. The first film, I was so nervous. You know what you’re stepping into and as a result you’re playing defence and you’re playing not to lose. When Winter Soldier came around, we were playing to win,” explained the actor.

When asked about returning to the MCU, Evans said, “I think there’s more Steve Rogers stories to tell.”

However, the actor added, “I was a part of something that was so special for a special period of time and, in a way, it really landed so well.”
