Chris Evans & Producer On Steve Rogers' Morals in Captain America: The First Avenger!
Chatting with USA Today from the set in England, while filming for Marvel & Joe Johnston's much-anticipated Captain America: The First Avenger movie was underway, the star Chris Evans and Producer Stephen Broussard subtly elaborates on what makes Steve Rogers paramount and more.
"Steve has been dealt kind of a lousy hand in life," Evans says. "He's 5-foot-nothing. He's 110 pounds. He's got a lot of ailments, but it hasn't made him bitter or jaded or anything. Even after he's given this great gift, he still continues to do the right thing, not to prove anything to anyone other than himself. He just has this great moral code."
"The first cover issue of Cap punching Hitler was definitely a political statement," says producer Stephen Broussard. "Like today, the country was divided and there were people who thought we should go over there and do the right thing, and there were others who said it was Europe's war and to stay out of it."
"Captain America was invented essentially for American propaganda. I mean, who was going to be like, 'Nah, the Nazis, they were OK. They had a few (good ideas)!'" Evans jokes. "It's safe to say we can all agree it's pure evil, right there. So it's fantastic to create a character of pure good, pure honesty and true morality, and say this is ultimate bad against ultimate good."

Chris Evans in Vegas
Captain America, Chris Evans, kept Marquee safe from the Red Skull and/or Hugo Weaving Friday night, and then Tao on Saturday, when he was celebrating the 30th birthdays of two of his old roommates from Boston.
Also swept free of Nazi influence: Ka at MGM Grand on Saturday night. Cirque du Soleil is once again safe for democracy. He hadn’t been to Ka before, but was heard to comment after witnessing a pre-show fireball that, “I know I’m going to like this.” Well, of course. It reminded him of the good old days of setting Nazis on fire.

Chris Evans talks about his Captain America suit
The 29-year-old American actor stars as Steve Rogers/Captain America in science-fiction adventure Captain America: The First Avenger, which is due for release later this year.
The hunk dons a rather fetching stars-and-stripes jumpsuit for the movie, and admits he has become attached to the attire.
“When you put it on first thing in the morning you think, ‘Man, this thing is stiff,’
“Then you spend four hours sweating in it, it starts to loosen up and by the end of the day you kind of forget it’s even on.

“It’s like putting on a pair of ski boots: you’re like, how am I going to work in these things?
“An hour later you’re skiing and you’re not even thinking about your feet,” he told Total Film.
