With the latest unveiling of Madame Web, we were yet again graced with a hard lesson: developing an engaging superhero film cannot be as easy and simple as it sounds. It’s not only about putting two people together in lycra and making them brawl; there has to be more than that – some plot, some antagonist, some protagonist, and some connections to other stories as well. The genre is definitely not as simplistic as it is usually portrayed. However, history has been unkind to some parts, but it is quite apparent that Marvel is still the studio that understands the superhero genre the most.

In this interesting time of vacuousness for the superhero genre, Total Film reports that Chris Evans, who played Captain America in six features (having three cameo appearances), recently spoke about his support for comic books. This occurred during an interview with the actor at Emerald City Con.
“Comic book movies, in general don’t always get the credit I think they deserve,” Evans stated “They are these huge, sprawling productions with many people involving such as. But the truth is, they are not easy to make. Otherwise, there would be a lot more indeed great ones. I am not blaming no one! I have been a part of a few that clearly did not work out. That’s life.”
In addition, Evans praised many of his past colleagues at Marvel but avoided mentioning any specific titles from the catalog of Marvel movies. “Some of them are phenomenal. Great films irrespective of the abject genre. They deserve more credits,” he said. For his part, Evans’s favourite Marvel film that he has featured in is Captain America: The Winter Soldier which was the most fulfilling engagement for the actor in his Marvel career.
“It wasn’t just about the movie itself,” Evans explained when asked how painful it was in order to compete with other Marvel actors and actresses in the first film of the Captain American Series. “In the first movie, I was quite apprehensive. You’re on the defensive, basically trying to avoid screwing things up. Whereas with The Winter Soldier, we enjoyed the fight. The Winter Soldier was the first Russo Brothers’ movie. We were doing many more things with greater risks, and the character now seemed quite more fleshed out. It was one of the most satisfying moments of my existence while being a part of the Marvel universe.
