Comic-Con: ‘Push’ star Chris Evans is ‘fantastical’

In ‘Push,’ Chris Evans plays one of a group of American ex-pats with telekinetic and clairvoyant abilities on the run from (what appeared to be in the preview footage) some scary, sonic-screaming Asians.

As in, they scream and destruction ensues. During the movie’s Comic-Con session on Thursday, one fan asked him if he prefers playing the larger-than-life roles he’s best known for, like Johnny Storm in ‘Fantastic Four.’

The 27-year-old thought for a bit and started: ‘It’s not that I go for the fantastical...’ Fortunately, he began laughing before most of the room did. ‘I didn’t go to college,’ he laughed.

Ever endearing, he finished answering her question, then shook his head and said, ‘Man, I’m good at press. I’m just good at it.’
