Chris Evans goes from puny to hunk in the upcoming Captain America movie.
Since there’s no way Chris could undergo such a physical transformation on his own, the filmmakers had to get creative on how to make is body look tiny.
Said Chris:
“It was a crazy process doing that stuff. They went back and forth on the type of technology they were going to use. Initially, they were just going to do body shrinking, and then they thought, ‘Well, maybe we can get another skinny actor and put Chris’ head on it,’ and I really, really was against that. I said to Joe [Johnston, the director], ‘Look, I know we want this to look good and this effect to not be distracting from the film, but it has to be my performance. I don’t want to share this. Your body is a huge piece of the acting puzzle, and I don’t want to have somebody else’s body tell the story that I’m trying to tell.'”
He continued:
“So they did some tweaking and they did a bunch of tests and we went back to the initial plan to shrink my body. Anytime my body’s completely still, if I’m lying on that bed or if I’m sitting in a chair not moving, it was easier for them to put my head on a smaller body. But anytime there was movement or action or acting involved, Joe and I were pretty adamant about saying, ‘Look, you’ve got to shrink me down.’ And they did. I haven’t seen the film yet, but I’ve seen a couple different scenes of the shrunken stuff and it looks amazing.”
We can├óΓé¼Γäót wait to see these effects! But let├óΓé¼Γäós be honest — we├óΓé¼Γäóre WAY more excited to see buff Captain America!
