Chris Evans covers the May issue of Details magazine

 by Dimitris Ioannou

“The Avengers” star Chris Evans covers the May issue of Details magazine, looking hotter than ever and proving that he is not the upright, spit-polished superhero that we see on screen. The 30-year-old actor talks to Adam Sachs about the movie, his relationship with his mother, Buddhism and a lot more.

Evans explained to the magazine his hesitation for playing a character like Captain America, not only because with blockbusters like that he losses even more of his remaining anonymity, but mostly because the bigger the movie is, the more nervous he gets. “I get very nervous, I shit the bed if I have to present something on stage or if I'm doing press. Because it's just you.Do you know how badly I audition? Fifty percent of the time I have to walk out of the room. I'm naturally very pale, so I turn red and sweat. And I have to literally walk out. Sometimes mid-audition. You start having these conversations in your brain. 'Chris, don't do this. Chris, take it easy. You're just sitting in a room with a person saying some words, this isn't life. And you're letting this affect you? Shame on you'”.

“I think my daytime person is different than my nighttime person," Evans says. "With my high-school buddies, we drink beer and talk sports and it's great. The kids in my Buddhism class in L.A., they're wildly intelligent, and I love being around them, but they're not talking about the Celtics. And that's part of me. It's a strange dichotomy. I don't mind being a certain way with some people and having this other piece of me that's just for me."

He is very close to his mother, so close that she is the first person to learn everything. Even when he had sex for the first time! “I raced home and was like, 'Mom, I just had sex! Where's the clit?'” he sais, although he admits he never got an answer. “Still don't know where it is, man, I just don't know. Make some movies, you don't have to know...”

With the release of “The Avengers” less than a month away, Marvel is already planning the return of “Iron Man 3”. Although there is nothing yet known concerning the plot, Marvel and director Shane Black have found their villain. According to Variety, Sir Ben Kingsley will star opposite Robert Downey Jr. in the third “Iron Man” pic.

It is still unknown who Kingsley will play, but one thing is for sure. He isn't playing Mandarin. The previous “Iron Man” director Jon Favreau had been setting up the brilliant and wealthy Chinese scientist to be the villain for “Iron Man 3”, but people related to the movie denied that this will be the role for Kingsley.

In the third “Iron Man”, scheduled for May 3rd, 2013, except Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow and also Scarlett Johansson will all reprise their roles. Kingsley is currently filming the adaptation “Ender's Game”, directed by Gavin Hood, alongside Harrison Ford, Abigail Breslin, Hailee Steinfeld and Viola Davis.

A new trailer for the 3D superhero movie “The Avengers” hit yesterday the Internet, only a day after the official release of the latest poster, showing the team ready to fight evil, whatever, or better, whoever that is.

In the two minutes and 30 seconds trailer we find New York burned to the ground. Buildings collapse, cars explode and everything is given into chaos. Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye join the international agency S.H.I.E.L.D. under the orders of Nick Furry and are expected to save the world.

The new Marvel's blockbuster, directed by Joss Weadon, seems to have everything a viewer could ask. Amazing effects, glorious battles and some of Hollywood's biggest names in the cast. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Scarlett Johansson will reprise their roles as superheroes, introducing Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson.

The film releases on May 4th nationwide in the USA, but starts its foreign release a week earlier. In some countries like UK the movie will be released under the altered title “Avengers Assemble”.
