Stan Lee has been working with a lot of people in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the first film was released eight years ago, that it’s only natural to form bonds with actors in the movies. Apparently though, there’s one actor who the Marvel legend has bonded with the most.
During a recent appearance on Larry King Now, asked who he’s had more bonding times with, Stan Lee didn’t even bat an eyelash as he quickly answered:
Chris. The fellow who plays Captain America, he was the Human Torch and then they made him Captain America and he’s the greatest guy, but I love them all.
Well, it would make sense since Chris Evans probably had the most time out of all the Marvel actors to see Stan Lee since the 34-year-old actor portrayed The Human Torch, in Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer. This means he had the advantage of meeting Stan Lee even before the MCU existed.
And while Stan Lee did say that he loves all the actors in the MCU, it’s worth noting that Captain America is one of the first superheroes he created. It’s only natural, or perhaps it was coincidence, that the Marvel legend took a liking to the man who plays the character in the movies.
That said, it can’t be denied that Chris Evans has Captain America down to a tee. Since Evans portrayed Steve Rogers in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger, the actor has become comfortable with the role. It’s not entirely hard to see if Stan Lee has become fond of the actor.
