Earths Mightiest managed to haul an interview with Joe Johnston regarding Captain America and the casting of the human torch in it. And Chris Evan’s didn’t even have to audition. Here’s what Johnston had to say when asked about Evans audition.
JOE JOHNSTON: Chris didn't audition at all. I was already familiar with everything he'd done and was championing his cause, not that I had a fight from the Marvel team. They were fans of his as well. He came in to the art department to say hi, saw all the jaw-dropping art and designs on the wall and reacted the way I'd hoped he would. It was really his wonderful enthusiasm for everything he saw that cinched the deal. We have some of the best designers and illustrators in the industry working for us and the art is just incredible to wander through. He will bring the perfect balance of dramatic performance and physicality to the role.
