Quotes
[on the helicopter scene in Captain America: Civil War] We shot that scene early on and I remember Anthony [Russo, his co-director and brother] telling the writers, 'You would not believe what we shot today!'. We kinda joke that it is actually a character shot but we are really focusing very hard on his character's arms! I mean you literally see his character bulging out of his massive biceps. The guy [Chris Evans] gets so ripped to play the part. The whole group gathered around when we shot it and were marveling at him, just like, 'I can't believe how big his guns are.'
