10 Actors About To Make Their Best Movie
5. Chris Evans - Materialists
Chris Evans is a solid actor whose filmography sadly hasn't given him many opportunities to flex his acting muscles.
Beyond his work as Captain America in the MCU, Evans' most celebrated projects are Sunshine, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Snowpiercer, Knives Out and... that's about it.
Still, none of these films substantially stretched Evans or demonstrated what he was really capable of, yet his new film Materialists finally seems to be just that showcase.
This romantic comedy, written and directed by Past Lives filmmaker Celine Song, stars Dakota Johnson as a lucrative matchmaker who falls into a toxic love triangle with one of her clients, seemingly played by Evans, while the third participant in said triangle will be played by Pedro Pascal.
Given that Song's previous film landed Oscar nominations for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay, it's a huge opportunity for Evans to reinvent himself as a serious dramatic performer rather than a mere movie star. Fingers crossed.
