Chris Evans Promises Captain America Is The Focus In Civil War

In a recent interview (via Disney Twenty-Three), Chris Evans made sure to point out that it is called Captain America: Civil War for a reason.

“Even though there are a lot characters, the focus is on Steve and his struggle,” Evans said in the spring issue of Disney twenty-three, the magazine put out by D23, the official Disney fan club. “Especially his struggle with Tony Stark.“

While some would call him naive, Steve Rodgers is what makes this whole thing tick, and his innate differences with Tony and what Tony stands for are what drive most of the character development in the previous Avengers movies. Civil War is not really about two characters fighting each other for the sake of throwing punches. It is about opposing ideals, and what you will do to stand up for those ideals.

“It’s exciting to see a guy who’s as optimistic and as selfless as Steve be met with letdown, betrayal, frustration, and selfishness,” said Evans. “There are events and people in his life that test him — that challenge him and force him to reevaluate who he is and what he wants out of life.”
