#Chris captain america actor crack#
That the actor was very willing to make the crack is notable because he's long been so protective of the character. "So I think Chris is happy when you can get something funny that stays in the Cap wheelhouse." "It's rare that you can find a joke for Captain America to tell that in-character as Captain America because he doesn't do a lot of non-sequitur smart remarks," Markus added. "He was certainly okay with calling attention to that outfit," McFeely said, laughing.
So as he steps over his knocked-out past self, the modern-day Captain America stares down at his behind and delivers one of the biggest laugh lines of the film: "That really is America's ass." And he says it with a smile, a reflection of Evans' own feeling on the line. "And then we needed to get out of that scene a little differently, and there was, slumped on the ground with his butt in the air."Īs Markus explains it, the writers asked themselves a crucial question: "Can we put another ass in the movie?" "We redid the Cap on Cap fight, the ending of it, and that helped us tremendously," co-writer Stephen McFeely explained, referring to a showdown between 2012-era Captain America and his time-traveling self, a fight waged over the Mind Stone. It was only much later, during film reshoots, that it was decided that Cap himself would get in on the gag. "The first thing that was there was Tony looking at Cap's terrible Avengers outfit and going, 'that suit does nothing for your ass.' That stood on its own for a while, and then Ant-Man was added to the scene, and he said, 'I think that's America's ass.' And that was the joke for a while." "It sort of grew on its own," Endgame co-writer Christopher Markus told SYFY WIRE this week. At first, it was just a one-off quip from Tony Stark, one of the endless cracks he makes even in the most extreme circumstances. Like many jokes, this one is told in three parts, though that wasn't always the intention.
Beloved by his fictional peers and real-world audiences alike for his sincerity and loyalty, being a square-jawed square with an unwavering moral compass also made him the butt of jokes - which is why the recurring bit about his owning "America's ass" in this spring's Avengers: Endgame became such a breakout, memed moment. Throughout his near-decade of service in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with seven starring roles and a few cameos over eight years' time, Chris Evans' Captain America was always far more likely to deliver a rousing inspirational speech than a wisecrack.
