Chris Evans is joining James Bond—uh, Daniel Craig—in Rian Johnson’s new movie Knives Out, per Deadline.
Hopefully, word of an impending Evans project will heal the broken hearts of devoted Captain America fans. The announcement comes on the tail end of widespread speculation that Evans will say goodbye to his longtime Marvel gig having wrapped Avengers 4.
“Playing this role over the last eight years has been an honor,” Evans tweeted Thursday, seeming to confirm that next year’s Avengers film will mark his last performance as Cap.
But Evans is staying busy. On top of Knives Out, the actor has thriller The Red Sea Diving Resort on the horizon, as well as his impending TV return in Apple’s Defending Jacob, and he was cast in Neill Blomkamp’s Greenland at Cannes.
We don’t know much about the character the Captain America star will be playing. Quite frankly, we don’t know much about Knives Out at all.
