Chris Evans Responds To If He'd Return As Human Torch In MCU Multiverse
Chris Evans responds to whether he’d be open to returning as the Fantastic Four’s Human Torch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s multiverse. In 2005, Evans made his superhero debut as Johnny Storm a.k.a. the Human Torch in Fox’s first attempt at bringing Marvel’s First Family to the big screen.
