Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell Talk Captain America

Features

Watch this new interview with the stars of Joe Johnston's Marvel film.

Sadly the stars of Captain America: The First Avenger didn't grace the UK with their presence this week, but we can bring you Filmbeat's UK exclusive with Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell and director Joe Johnston.

Captain America himself, Evans is joined by his leading lady Atwell at the LA press junket, where the pair talk about playing brave weakling-turned-super soldier Steve Rogers, and the formidable Major Peggy Carter. There's also a chat with Dominic Cooper, who plays Howard Stark, (yep, Iron Man's dad).

Captain America: The First Avenger is released in cinemas today. Read our review here.

After being deemed unfit for military service, 90lb asthmatic Steve Rogers (Evans) volunteers for a top secret research project during WWII that turns him into Captain America, a tall, superstrong superhero dedicated to defending America's ideals. Demoralised after being used as a propaganda tool, Captain America rallies an army to fight against warped enemy Red Skull (Hugo Weaving), a Nazi building his own superarmy.
