Chris Evans ‘Dying’ to Reunite With Sebastian Stan for Theater Project
Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan are in very different parts of their Marvel careers, but the former face of Captain America and the Winter Soldier/Thunderbolts* star have discussed a significant potential reunion.
While Evans has been adamant that he's retired from the role of Captain America, it's worth noting that if he and Stan do run it back and team up again, it'll happen in a very different format.
During an interview with MTV's Josh Horowitz, the host revealed he spoke with Stan, who said he's been "bothering" Evans a lot about doing a play together.
Evans called Stan's bluff, stating that he's told his close friend he's ready to get on stage with him.
"He can say that all day, but when I really call him on it, I’m like, 'Alright, let’s do it. Which one?' and he’s like, 'Well, you know, I’m a little busy,'" Evans said of Stan.
"I’m like 'Seb, stop using me in press because I’m ready to get on stage with you.' But I mean, he’s a busy guy, you know? He’s an Oscar nominee, he’s got stuff going on."
Evans doubled down on his desire to be in a play with Stan, admitting that he's "dying" to get on stage with him. And when his Materialists co-star Dakota Johnson asked about Evans' desire to make the leap to theater specifically with his former superhero co-star, Evans didn't flinch about the idea.
"I would love to get on stage," Evans continued. "I’m dying to get on stage, specifically with him."
"I love Seb, I love working with him. And, you know, theater is such a massive commitment. You’re with the person all day, every day, so I would kill to do it."
It sounds as though Evans is completely serious about a role in theater in the near future. Considering Stan's comments were what initially kickstarted the conversation, the possibility of the duo teaming up in a play doesn't seem that far-fetched.
Time will tell, and if Evans is truly calling it a career regarding Captain America, he's bound to have many different offers, so we'll see if his passion project will edge those out.
