Chris Evans had a reasonably successful acting career before 2011, though most of his roles in films like Not Another Teen Movie, The Losers, and the Fantastic Four franchise relegated him to a snarky pretty boy. Director Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim vs The World) suggested Evans to the Marvel brass for the role of Steve Rogers, a.k.a Captain America, citing his role in Sunshine as proof of his chops as a serious leading man....
Red-headed menace Chucky is set to terrorize cable television, as SYFY is developing a Child’s Play series with franchise creator Don Mancini on board to serve as writer and executive producer.
