Hollywood star Chris Evans is in talks to step into the shoes of legendary actor Gene Kelly in a developing film project. The movie is produced by John Logan. According to a source close to the project, the untitled film is based on Evans’ original idea in which a 12-year-old boy who works on the MGM Lot in the 1950s finds an imaginary friend in Kelly while working on his newest film.
Kelly is best known today for his performances in films like Cover Girl, Anchors Aweigh, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor; On the Town, An American in Paris, Singin’ in the Rain, Brigadoon and It’s Always Fair Weather. Evans is set to produce the film alongside Logan, who is also writing the script.
The actor, who is best known for playing Steve Rogers/Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has a stacked 2022 ahead of him. His current projects include the animated film Lightyear, in which he voices iconic Toy Story character Buzz Lightyear. He is also starring in The Gray Man, the Russo Brothers’ latest directorial effort about a former CIA agent-turned-fugitive (Ryan Gosling), who is hunted down by his former colleague (Evans).
