Entertainment Weekly is featuring Chris Evans as Captain America on the cover of its new issue and talked to the star and director Joe Johnston about the July 22 release as well. Here's some quotes followed by the cover...

"At the time, I remember telling a buddy of mine, 'If the movie bombs, I'm f—-ed. If the movie hits, I'm f—-ed!'" After declining the part three times, Evans took a meeting with Marvel execs and Johnston and was dazzled by their plans for the movie. He still felt wary about suiting up for Captain America — but then he had an epiphany. "I was just scared," he says. "I realized my whole decision making process was fear based, and you never want to make a decision out of fear.'" Evans signed a six-picture deal with Marvel to play the character, and he has no regrets: "I can't believe was almost too chicken to play Captain America."

"The interesting thing about this character is that he's an everyman who in the course of a few minutes become a perfect human specimen. That has to create some interesting personal issues," says Johnston. "I saw it as an opportunity to make a superhero movie that felt real, that didn't have to rely on an overabundance of fantasy elements."

Captain America Sequel In The Works ALREADY!

It's official: You need to have a "Captain" as the lead character in your movie if you want to have lots of sequel success. Captain Jack Sparrow, anyone???

Captain America: The First Avenger doesn't hit theaters until July 22nd, but Marvel Studios has ALREADY hired two writers for the sequel!

Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus, who wrote the first Captain America, will pen the sequel.
