Wouldn’t you want to date Captain America or People Magazine’s 2022 Sexiest Man Alive? Yes, Chris Evans, who played so many titular characters on screen, is in the spotlight!

Wouldn’t you want to date one of the sexiest men alive?

Best known for playing the selfless, altruistic superhero Captain America in Marvel's multibillion-dollar Avengers franchise and as a loving, social media-obsessed dog dad to Dodger, his boxer mix, Evans has produced three new films recently and continues to co-run A Starting Point, the civic engagement platform he founded in 2020.

So if wanting to date Chris Evans, here are some of the movies you should watch out for - available on HBO Go and Lionsgate Play!

Knives Out

Evans plays the black sheep in the family, one of the famous murder writers, Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer)’s children, who passed away shortly after turning 85. The observant and dapper Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) shows up at his house to look into it. Blanc sorts through a labyrinth of red herrings and self-serving lies, from Harlan's unstable family to his dedicated staff, to discover the truth behind Thrombey's premature mortality - and if anyone of his children did him in.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Suppose you want to see a different kind of Chris Evans, tune in to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World! Evans, who plays pro skateboarder and movie star Lucas Lee, is one of the villainous exes of Mary Elizabeth Winstead, whom the main character (Scott Pilgrim, played by Michael Cera) must fight to win her love.

Evans sports awful facial hair and a faux-hip leather jacket. He gives a hilarious performance capitalizing on the director’s absurdity by adopting an obviously fake raspy voice. Stream Scott Pilgrim vs. The World on HBO Go with PLDT Home!

Street Kings

Chris Evans and Keanu Reeves in one movie - it couldn’t get any better than this! When veteran LAPD officer Tom Ludlow (Keanu Reeves) struggles to get by following the passing of his wife, he teams up with Evans, a young Robbery Homicide Detective, as they work together to investigate the various Los Angeles neighborhoods.

The movie also stars Forest Whitaker, Ludlow’s boss, responsible for keeping him inside the law and away from Internal Affairs Captain Biggs (Hugh Laurie). Stream Street Kings on HBO Go with PLDT Home!

His name just suits him - Harvard Hottie. In this erstwhile romantic-comedy, Evans (Hottie) joins Scarlett Johansson, who plays working-class college student Annie Braddock who accepts a position as a nanny for Mr. and Mrs. X, a wealthy but severely dysfunctional Manhattan couple (Paul Giamatti, Laura Linney). She has to figure out how to balance her education, her new lover, her new employers' expectations, and their pampered children - not to mention her budding romance with Evans’ character.
