Chris Evans' Pre-MCU Career is Full of Unique Titles
Captain America catapulted Evans to super stardom, but he had already been gaining recognition prior to 2011. Before joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), he had portrayed another Marvel superhero - Johnny Storm, also known as The Human Torch - in Fantastic Four (2005) and its sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007).
Despite his superhero background, Evans showcased his versatility by taking on various genres during that time. He ventured into teen projects, such as the 2001 parody Not Another Teen Movie, a clever blend of popular teenage films like She's All That and 10 Things I Hate About You. Additionally, he starred alongside his future MCU co-star Scarlett Johansson in the teen heist film The Perfect Score.
Following his teenage movie phase, he made a successful transition into starring roles in various thrillers and action films. Some noteworthy titles include Street Kings, Cellular, Sunshine, and Push. However, he also showcased his comedic abilities in movies like The Nanny Diaries (where he co-starred with Johansson) and What's Your Number? (which premiered in the same year as Captain America). Despite his strong association with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in recent years, it is important to recognize that Evans had already established his star power well before 2011.
