Captain America? More like Captain Broadway! Chris Evans, our favorite shield-swinging, sweater-wearing hunk of the MCU, has declared his deepest, most unexpected dream: to ditch action-packed explosions and leap into the jazz hands universe of musicals. And yes, you read that rightβChris wants to sing. π€β¨
βIβm just waiting for someone to cast me in a musical. I want to sing,β he told People, likely while looking like a Disney prince who hasnβt yet burst into song (tragic, really).
But wait, thereβs more! He doesnβt just want to sing; he wants to dance. Thatβs right; Evans is ready to high-kick, pirouette, and grapevine his way across the big screen. βThat is what I want,β he said, with the kind of determination normally reserved for saving the world or opening a jar of pickles.
Of course, Chris knows this isnβt a karaoke night at your local dive bar. βThatβs tough, though,β he confessed, like a man who just discovered how many steps are in a tap routine. βYouβve got to do it right. You only get so many bites at that apple.β A musical apple? A jazz apple? Weβre not sure, but Chris is clearly treating this like a sacred Broadway rite.
But donβt get it twistedβheβs not just out here waiting for Cats 2: Electric Boogaloo. βIβm very precious with it,β he explained, likely imagining himself in a sequined jacket, moonwalking through Times Square. βI want to make sure itβs the right thing.β Translation? Heβs holding out for the Hamilton-level big leagues, not your cousinβs off-off-Broadway adaptation of Shrek: The Musical.
Evans also dropped a Broadway bombshell: just whisper the word musical, and heβll practically teleport to your audition room. βIf you say itβs going to be a musical, Iβm listening,β he said, probably while softly humming the opening notes of *The Greatest Showman.*
And as if that wasnβt enough, Chris casually revealed heβs also eyeing another career flex: drumming. Yes, this manβwho already acts, sings, and probably makes a mean pancakeβnow wants to pick up drumsticks and become the next Phil Collins. βIβve played piano, but every time I see someone drumming, Iβm like, βNah, thatβs cool,ββ he said, as if the rest of us havenβt already reached our limit for how much cooler he can get.
Chris Evans is out here dreaming of musicals, dancing, drumming, and probably solving world peace in his spare time. Hollywood, itβs time to put this man in tap shoes and let him shine. Just imagine him singing Defying Gravity. Weβre ready. Are you? π
