The challenge, though, is convincing moviegoers to take a chance on something completely new, and nothing makes new go down easier than if it's notnew. Chris Evans is one of film's most beloved actors, thanks to his work as Captain America in the Marvel films. He's proven he can carry a character both as a lead and a supporting player, and that he's comfortable in big-budget, special-effects-heavy tentpole movies.
Plus, the guy's a stellar actor and handsome to boot. What's not to like? Why not strike while the iron is hot. And who knows, it could open "Star Wars" up to becoming yet another world of films that actors will be clamoring to be a part of. In fact, Evans may not even be the only MCU star interested in making the shift -- or performing double duty.Brie Larson may be just getting started as Captain Marvel in the MCU, but we already know she's a huge "Star Wars" fan, as evidenced by how much she geeked out when crossover star Samuel L. Jackson let her see the lightsaber he used as Jedi Mace Windu in the prequel trilogy.
