Captain America himself, Chris Evans is launching a new political discourse website, asking politicians from both Republican and Democratic parties to join him in the discussion.
It seems that Captain America is going full-on politically active. Actor Chris Evans is launching a website that will let politicians from both leading parties in the United States discuss different issues called “A Starting Point”, which he confirmed on Twitter earlier today:
Guess the cat’s outta the bag 🙂

The news was revealed by CNN alongside a video that Chris Evans and his team made to share “A Starting Point”. In the video, Chris Evans says that he wanted to make some issues available for everyone looking at them from every angle possible:
“It’s a one-stop shop for simple digestible information from people who know best.”
To achieve this, he sends a list of questions to several politicians and asks them to answer them and also provide some links if viewers so desire to do further research. Chris Evans also states that this initiative isn’t necessarily about what he thinks but to help you, the viewer, understand what’s happening in the country:
“I want to make it clear that this website has nothing to do with my political opinion. It’s not about my political opinion. This is about yours. This is a chance for you to talk about issues that matter to you.”
Chris Evans has been very vocal on his social media when it comes to politics and it seems that “A Starting Point” is his way to help you out when taking on political decisions. The website isn’t up yet, but we’ll let you know as soon as it is.
Last time we saw Chris Evans’ Captain America was during Avengers: Infinity War. Chris Evans’ Captain America was battling out Thanos’ lieutenants in Wakanda when suddenly the Mad Titan appeared to defeat them and the rest of the Avengers, as well as wiping half out half of the universe. According to the first Avengers: Endgame trailer, Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers is on Earth dealing with the fact that most of his teammates are gone After watching some of the latest trailers, it seems that Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers is fully determined to right Thanos’ decimation event.

Top Actors To Replace Ben Affleck In Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’
Ben Affleck is officially out as Batman and it's a pretty sad day.
Words cannot describe how sad I am to see Ben Affleck announce that he's no longer Batman. His Batman is why I do what I do. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, I fell in love with his comic book-accurate interpretation of the Caped Crusader. It was a breath of fresh air and it felt like we finally had the one true Batman.
Three years have quickly sped by and we're officially going to receive a new Batman for his next movie. Last night, Ben Affleck announced that he will not return as the Dark Knight in Matt Reeves' The Batman and now everyone's attention has moved towards wanting to know who the next Bruce Wayne will be. Matt Reeves is said to want an actor that's around 20 years younger than Affleck while Warner Bros. wants someone older. My guess is that Reeves wants a fresh start while the studio wants an older actor for crossover potential.
In this list, I will discuss the actors I think can replace Ben Affleck as Batman using the parameters that Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. want. Hit Next to see our picks to play the Batman.
Michael Fassbender
Michael Fassbender is an X-Men alum and no stranger to comic book franchises. The actor has shown multiple levels of range and could definitely handle the Batman/Bruce Wayne personality. If they go with the older range for the next Dark Knight, then Fassbender is probably one of the best choices to take over the role.
Ben Barnes
Ben Barnes is out of a job after The Punisher season 2 and he's one of the best actors in that series. The second season tied up Barnes' arc on The Punisher and the actor has already told us that that he'd love to play the Caped Crusader. Barnes definitely has the pretty boy look going on for him and I wonder what his take on Bruce Wayne could be.
Ryan Gosling
I've said this before and I'll say it again: Ryan Gosling needs to star in a superhero movie. I've always thought Gosling would make a great Batman. Every role that he's done has shown us his capability and he could crush it as Bruce Wayne.
Jon Hamm
Jon Hamm is my top choice for an older Batman. If Warner Bros. wants to cast an older actor for crossover potential, Jon Hamm is the studio's best bet. He has a similar look to Ben Affleck, and c'mon, the guy's look just screams Bruce Wayne.
Armie Hammer
Armie Hammer is 32 years old and was cast as the Caped Crusader in George Miller's Justice League: Mortal. That film will never see the light of day, but that doesn’t mean that Hammer doesn't deserve a second shot at being the Batman. He's charming, broody and will probably give his all for this role. Armie Hammer is a great option because he's young enough for Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. could work in a way for him to crossover with the rest of the DC Extended Universe.
Richard Madden
Game of Thrones alum Richard Madden is my top choice to replace Ben Affleck as Batman. The actor is young, has the look and definitely has the acting chops to play the duality of Batman and Bruce Wayne. Madden just won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television series for the BBC drama Bodyguard, so Warner Bros. may want to quickly snatch him up.
