Chris Evans has declared that he wants to appear in the forthcoming Star Wars movie produced by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.
In a statement on the Feige news, Disney Studios co-chairman Alan Horn said: “Kathleen Kennedy is pursuing a new era in Star Wars storytelling, and knowing what a die-hard fan Kevin is, it made sense for these two extraordinary producers to work on a Star Wars film together.”
Evans next appears in the comic whodunnit Knives Out alongside Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lakeith Stanfield, which happens to be directed by Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson.
Feige has been in charge of Marvel Studios since 2007, where he has been credited for shaping the Marvel Universe of movies.
