Avengers: Age of Ultron
Out of all the key players in the Marvel Cinematic Universe , Chris Evans ( Captain America : The Winter Soldier ) was the most loth to joinThe Avengersroster . The histrion went back and forth with the studio apartment , turning down a 9 - picture deal , then a 6 - picture deal , before finally signing on for six plastic film ( after some convincing from fellow Marvel stars , Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo ) .
In late months , there has been speculation thatEvans would forget acting entirelyin favour of directing once his Marvel contract is up – afterThe Avengers : Age of UltronandCaptain America 3 , Evans will only have one picture left in his stack . With his directorial unveiling , Before We Go(originally titled1:30 Train ) , premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival next workweek , Evans has been asked about his time to come with Marvel , beginning his directing vocation , and how those two paths may intersect .
WSJasked Evans if he would ever debate direct a blockbuster Marvel movie . Although the role player did n’t reject the possibility , he also did n’t give any tilt that directing a Marvel picture is something he ’s considering at the here and now .
Read Evans ’ full inverted comma :
“ So me and Mark Kassen , the guy who I brought on this film , we were just talk like ‘ what ’s next ? ’ I need to continue directing and he ’s like , ‘ What size motion picture do you want to aim ? ’ I do n’t like . If I read the correct script , if that playscript needs $ 5 million , if that script call for $ 50 million , I do n’t care . If I read a project that ’s beautiful , that I really want to make , whatever it needs , it needs . ”
Evans also recognise that his time with Marvel opened up his directorial opportunities , take thatBefore We Gowouldn’t have get the greenish light if he had n’t helped it along with his Marvel“notoriety”and starred in the film .
In an audience withVariety , Evans clarified his stance on whether or not he was looking to retire from act as after his Marvel contract is completed . He say that while he loves acting , he ’s looking to expand creatively for the fourth dimension being by taking a seat in the conductor ’s chair .
Said Evans :
" I ’m looking to quest after directing . In the quick time to come , I ’m only looking to fulfill my declaration with Marvel . If I ’m going to act , it will be either in Marvel or something that I ’m directing . And somehow , it was twisted into it would either be Marvel or I ’m directing , not that I would be directing something I would act in . "
So what does this mean for the possible action of Evans stepping behind the camera on a adult - budget Marvel motion-picture show ? The actor has n’t completely written off the idea , and it seems his most important factor in pick out celluloid to take on is the script . If Marvel had the right-hand handwriting that could win over Evans , he may jump at the hazard to direct one of their films .
On Marvel ’s side , they ’ve found achiever with directors like Joss Whedon , James Gunn , Jon Favreau , as well as Anthony and Joe Russo . Each of these directors had a clear vision of what they wanted for their separate films and were -for the most part- capable to work inside Marvel ’s guideline for building its Cinematic Universe . With Evans ’ experience work within the MCU in front of the television camera , he may have more insight than a conductor coming into Marvel without that experience .
However , while an Evans - directed Marvel movie may be an exciting idea for sports fan , neither the actor nor the studio have said anything concrete on whether it ’s an actual possibility . For now , whether or not we ’ll see a Marvel film guide by Evans is mere speculation , but it could be a unspoiled style for Marvel to keep him play in their pic .
