Chris Evans reveals what he wants Captain America to do in 'The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron'

Chris Evans will play Steve Rogers/Captain America for a third time (not counting his cameo in Thor: The Dark World) in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and a fourth time in The Avengers: Age of Ultron. But for all of the character's goodie-two-shoes personality, the actor wants him to do something different in Joss Whedon's next superhero sequel.

"This might sound crazy, but...be wrong," Evans told SFX Magazine (via Comic Book Movie). "Make a mistake. He's so concerned with being right. Even the struggle in this one, it's about how to be right. His biggest struggle is just being the best he can be, and if he doesn't achieve that, he really beats himself up. His moral compass is so sound, you rarely see him make a mistake. It's everyone around him dropping the ball. So it would be nice to see a little bit of human error or a human flaw, just immaturity or foolishness, an ego, something." 

The Captain America character isn't known for any of those latter qualities Evans mentioned, but perhaps he will change as the Marvel Cinematic Universe expands. But would the actor feel it's okay to voice his opinion on such a subject if he disagreed with the character's direction?

"Yeah, yeah, I am now," he said in a separate interview with Collider. "The first movie, I just felt like I was lucky to be around. The second movie, you just don't want to piss anyone off; there are so many other amazing people here. Now you start feeling like, 'Well, I'm throwing this barbecue, too.' [laughs] It's a strange feeling being like, "Well, hang on, what if we did it like this?" It's a nice feeling to come into your own. I think the first movie, we didn't even...I'd see myself in the suit and be like, "Who's that idiot in the suit?" It's starting to feel more like real or home or something, so you do start caring a little bit more. So you do run into those kids and they do have that impact and it's a very nice thing. It's a responsibility now. I don't want to make it sound like it's gone to my head or anything, you just care a little bit more about making sure this is good quality stuff because we're going to run the contract. We're going to do Avengers 2. Probably going to do Avengers 3. [laughs] These things will happen so you want to make sure it's pointed in the right direction. You don't want to step on toes, but there's room to be vocal and that's the best thing about Marvel. You can be stuck in a contract at a much worse place, a lot worse place. Marvel's very collaborative. You feel the love from Marvel."

So perhaps Evans can and will push for a more flawed Captain America in future installments. It's clear that he cares very much about the character at this point, so he could want to put his own thoughts and feelings into shaping him.

What do you think? Should Captain America be more flawed? Let us know in the comments below.
