CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER: Chris Evans Talks Steve Rogers in Modern Day, Humor, Technology and More
There are obvious obstacles for Rogers to overcome, one of which is a change in technology from then until now.
"I think you'd get a little tired if every joke was, 'What's the Internet?' He gets it," Chris Evans said at the post-panel press conference Marvel held at Comic-Con. "The problem is that he doesn't sling jokes. He's not sarcastic. So, it's hard to find the humor unless the humor is self-deprecating, but you can't keep playing that one note of, 'I don't get it. What's going on in this modern world?' I think we're past that. He's up to speed. He knows how things work. He has a cell phone. We're not just hitting that one note.
"We're trying to find humor in other places, thanks to [Anthony] Mackie, in large part. He's really good. He's a funny guy."
Evans continued to talk more in detail about his character in the modern world.
"This movie is about showing Cap now," Evans continued. "Given the opportunity to serve and given the ability to give of himself, the question now becomes, 'What's right?' I think he's so determined to be good and to do what's right, the conflict with modern society, as opposed to the '40s is, 'What is right?'
"In the '40s, it was very easy to say, 'Nazis are bad.' We can all agree on that. Today, it's a little bit harder to know 'Who am I serving?' with modern technology and access. Where is the line? What are we willing to compromise, in terms of civil liberties, to ensure security?"
Rogers' confusion of deciphering what is right and wrong is where his relationship grows with Black Widow.
"That's where it gets blurry for Cap. What's the right thing to do? It makes an interesting conflict for him because it's not about just doing the right thing. It's about, 'What is the right thing?' I think we actually get to explore Cap struggling a little bit," Evans said. "It's not black and white, it's grey.
"That's where his relationship with Black Widow comes to fruition. The relationship with Black Widow is interesting because she's someone who's always had the ability to compromise her morals, and Cap is black and white. As a result, something happens."
Something happens? This is a common thing that was said at the Comic-Con press conference by Scarlet Johansson and now by Evans. Sounds like Marvel fans are going have to wait until Captain America: The Winter Soldier is out on April 4, 2014 until fans learn what this "something happens" really means.
