Chris Evans recently starred as Lloyd Hansen, the primary villain in The Gray Man, and the internet has a lot to say about his role.
The Gray Man, Netflix's latest blockbuster action movie starring Evans and Ryan Gosling, premiered on Friday, July 22, 2022. Fans could not hold in their excitement as two of the most beloved actors in the industry went up against each other in the movie.
With their favorite superhero, Captain America, turning to the dark side for Netflix's action thriller, Evans' fans took to Twitter to express their love and admiration.
The fact that Evans absolutely aced his role as the sociopath who spearheaded the manhunt against Ryan Gosling's character, CIA mercenary Court Gentry/Sierra Six, has left many awestruck.
Chris Evans thinks that playing a villain is "a little more fun," fans extend warm support after The Gray Man release
Chris Evans has opened up about his role in the Netflix blockbuster and how his familiarity with the Russo brothers led to this sudden villainous turn. The actor commented on his experience of playing the villain:
"Playing a villain is always a little more fun. You have a little bit more freedom, you get a lot more jokes - but working with the Russos is what gives that sense of trust and freedom. When you trust the filmmakers, you’re more willing to take risks, and certainly a character like this demands risks. Without the Russos and the relationship and rapport we have, I don’t know if I would have had such a rewarding experience."
Twitter is flooded with fans applauding Chris Evans and portrayal of Hansen in the movie. After years of being typecast as a moral and righteous character, Evans is finally venturing into the dark side, and we are loving every bit of it.
Take a look at some of the fan reactions to Chris Evans' performance in The Gray Man.
One user deplored that Evans did not get more screen time.
Fans also appreciated Gosling for his performance in the film.
Fans who have been eagerly anticipating the release of this action thriller are clearly satisfied. While Gosling's hero has won many hearts, Evans' villain has the whole internet smitten.
