AceShowbiz - Chris Evans enthusiastically agreed to make a surprise cameo in "Deadpool & Wolverine", even without hesitation about delivering profanities in his shocking end-credits monologue. The actor recently shared his experience with Ryan Reynolds' invitation to reprise his role as Johnny Storm.
"Ryan asked if I'd be interested, and I immediately said yes. I trust him completely," Evans recalled. "I loved it. It was so much fun to shoot and watch."
Despite his fame as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Evans' appearance as Johnny Storm captivated audiences, particularly when he uttered "Flame on!" But it was the expletive-filled monologue that left viewers stunned.
"Ryan offered cue cards, but I declined. I'm showing up off-book. I'm going to enjoy every second of this," Evans said, recalling his excitement for the monologue.
Evans previously played the Human Torch in "Fantastic Four" (2005) and "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" (2007). The "Marvel's First Family" is set for another reboot in the MCU's upcoming "The Fantastic Four: First Steps", starring Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards a.k.a. Mister Fantastic.
Pascal acknowledged Evans' influence on his character, saying, "I remember really enjoying Chris Evans' performance as Johnny and it felt like an exciting opportunity to make it my own." However, he emphasized that he would approach the role differently to avoid direct comparisons.
