'I Had to Lie': Chris Evans Reveals How Marvel Kept His Avengers: Doomsday Filming Secret, And His On-Set Codename
Chris Evans has described how Marvel kept Steve Rogers' return in Avengers: Doomsday a secret during filming, via the use of a codename that fans got a whiff of last year.
Chris Evans revealed during an appearance at Fan Expo Boston how Marvel managed to keep his role in Avengers: Doomsday a secret while filming. He spoke about the necessity of lying during press interviews for his A24 romantic comedy, Materialists, as his character was referred to as Luke Cage on set. Evans explained that he stayed in a house an hour away from the studio to keep the filming confidential.
The house was similar to the one from Endgame, where Steve Rogers' house was rebuilt in London's Great Windsor Park. While on set, Evans' character was called Luke Cage to prevent leaks. Even when going to set, the crew referred to him as Luke Cage, mimicking a walkie-talkie conversation. Evans admitted that it was tricky because he had to lie about his involvement in Doomsday during press appearances for Materialists.
