Our Take On The Materialists Poster
Chris Evans Needs This Role
While Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal have turned in plenty of strong performances recently, Evans arguably needs this role inMaterialiststhe most. Since exiting the MCU, he’s had a horrible streak withThe Gray Man,Ghosted,Pain Hustlers, andRed One. Chris Evans is clearly a charming actor, and with an acclaimed writer-director like Celine Song at the helm, perhaps she can harness his talents effectively in the romantic comedy and break the truly terrible streak he’s been on.
