During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Chris Evans talked about everything from Avengers: Endgame, to his relationship history, and even his dream of starring in a musical!

On the subject of musicals, Evans said, "I want to do a musical so badly, man. Someone told me they're [remaking] Little Shop of Horrors and I was like, 'Oh, can I be down? Please? Can I be the dentist?'"

He continued on to talk about how he wished he could have a part in the upcoming West Side Story remake saying, "When I first came out here, early 2000s, there were rumblings about Spielberg maybe doing West Side Story. That's one of my favorite musicals. I did it when I was in high school. And obviously he's doing it now, and I called my team and they were like, Chris - maybe Krupke. You can't. You're too old. It's so hard to hear."

Chris Evans is an American actor and filmmaker known for his superhero roles as the Marvel Comics characters Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the Human Torch in Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel. He began his career on the 2000 television series "Opposite Sex," and has since appeared in a number of films, including Not Another Teen Movie, Sunshine, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Snowpiercer and the upcoming Gifted. In 2014, Evans made his directorial debut with the drama film Before We Go, in which he also starred.

In 2018, Evans made his Broadway debut in Kenneth Lonergan's Lobby Hero, directed by Trip Cullman, and starring Michael Cera, Evans, Brian Tyree Henry, and Bel Powley.
