During a panel interview at New York Comic Con, Chris Evans expressed his desire to return to Broadway as soon as next year.
“I’m looking (for a play). I’d love to actually try and find something next year, but it’s tough because you find something that you are kind of into that could be cool but like I said, once you’re in it, you are in it. (A show) usually runs three, four or five months. So, it’s got to be something that you don’t just love, but it’s got to be something that you’re ready to explore from different angles every single night for a very long time,” Evans told the audience during the event.
Evans made his Broadway debut in Second Stage's 2018 production of Kenneth Lonergan's Lobby Hero, alongside Michael Cera, Bryan Tyree Henry, and Bel Powley. His performance earned him a Drama League nomination.
