-Congratulations on your Broadway debut.
-Thanks, man. -This is -- This would not be
that surprising for people you've known your whole life.
You were -- You did a lot of theater growing up.
-Yeah, yeah, big, big theater kid.
-Did you do any of the big plays?
-Name one. I probably did it, yeah.
-"West Wide Story"? -I was Action.
-Wow! -[ Laughs ]
So this is not -- And how do you feel --
How's the work of doing a play compared to doing a movie?
-Compared to doing a movie? I mean, well --
You know, a lot of movies, you don't always get rehearsal time.
Sometimes you -- you know, you shake an actor's hand,
and then you're doing a scene with him.
So with a play, there's a lot more
rehearsal time, a lot more prep.
It's -- I don't know. It's a lot nicer.
That's why I wanted to do it.
Just to kind of feel a different way in to what I do.
-Is it exhausting? -It is.
I mean, everyone that I talked to,
a lot of my actor buddies were like,
"Ah, your whole day is free.
It's only two hours at the theater."
But it's two hours. It's such a focused two hours.
You leave the theater, and you're spent.
You just want to go back to bed.
-I want to ask about your mustache.
[ Laughter ] -Also, I noticed --
-I'm surprised you got a couple questions in without asking.
-Well, I didn't want to make you think
it's the only reason I wanted you here.
-I have a mustache. Let's just get it out there.
-We tried to book your mustache. [ Laughter ]
They said the only way it could come was with you.
-He's very choosey, yeah.
-But I noticed as I was holding up the playbill,
you didn't have it here. Was this a late decision?
-So... Maybe I shouldn't be saying --
So, when I was filming --
We were filming "Avengers" in Atlanta last year.
And they said, "Well, they want to come
and do a photo shoot for the play."
And I said, "Well, I'm not gonna look the way I want to look."
And they said, "Ah, it doesn't matter."
It's not like -- I don't know. I guess that's the way it is.
It's okay if the photos look different from how you look.
And I said, "No, I'm gonna look very different.
I know it's just a mustache, but it changes my whole face."
-But we were talking backstage.
It does change your whole face,
which might be helpful for being recognized.
Has it been easier to walk around with it?
-Oh, yeah. I can look people dead in their eyes...
[ Laughter ]
Not only do they not recognize me,
you get some strange -- you get a little, like --
You got mustache profiled.
-This mustache and this haircut, I feel, like,
gives us a lot of back story about who you are.
-Now what would I be? It's either a cop or...?
What else would I be?
-A guy who tried to be a cop and failed the test
and is super mad about it.
[ Laughter ]
Like, you're hoping for cop.
-See, I was gonna say something along the lines of porn.
-Yeah. -And I always thinks so --
But it's so strange. That's the typical response.
-The funny thing -- -And it's strange
that those two things, like, live on the same street.
How is it, like, cop, porn actor?
-Yeah. -Like, those are --
- And when a cop shows up in a porno, it's like a perfect --
That's when it's like, yeah. -Nailed it.
-Nailed it. The weird thing is Steve Rogers,
Captain America, of course, like, this looks way more
like most "Steve Rogers," I think.
[ Laughter ]
Like, most guys named Steve Rogers look like this.
-Look like this guy. [ Laughter ]
-I want to show -- I know it's hard for all
of you guys who are in these big movies.
You can't tell me anything about it.
This is spoiler city. -Oh, yeah. I got nothing.
-64 characters in this film. -Yeah.
-Let's show a clip and see if I can get any information.
-Give it a shot.
-When you said we were going to open Wakanda
to the rest of the world, this is not what I imagined.
-And what did you imagine?
-Well, the Olympics. Maybe even a Starbucks.
♪♪♪♪
[ Air hissing, gangway motor whirring ]
-Should we bow? -Yeah. He's a king.
-Seems like I'm always thanking you for something.
-[ Clears throat ] -What are you doing?
-We -- We don't do that here.
[ Laughter ] -All right.
I don't know much about it. [ Cheers and applause ]
-I mean, I have one line in the clip.
[ Laughter ]
Like, typically, when you come to a thing like this,
you bring something to showcase, whatever.
-Yeah. -But they sent me the clip,
and I was like, "Is this what I'm bringing to 'Seth Meyers'?"
'Cause everything I'm in is some form of a spoiler.
-So you have one. And every talk show you go on,
you're like, "Keep an eye on the way I walk off the plane."
[ Laughter ]
"I made a very interesting choice in my de-planing."
-A lot of preparation.
-You -- Obviously, you play Captain America.
You get a lot of action figures.
This one -- They sent us a bunch.
This one's my favorite... -God.
-...because of this. Ready?
Have you seen this yet? -No.
-Oh. Sorry. Hold on.
[ Laughter ] Wait.
See? It changes expressions. [ Laughter ]
Oh, it's like the, uh -- -Yeah.
-Happy. -Yeah.
-Medium. -Wait.
What was the middle expression?
-Wait. I want to -- I got a plan here.
-[ Chuckles ] He's defacing my character.
-Well, let's do -- Hold on. Wait.
All right, there we go. How would you describe it?
This is angry. Right? -Yeah, angry.
-Okay, there we go. That's happy dude, right?
-That's mustache. [ Laughter ]
That's porn-star guy. [ Both laugh ]
-Oh, he looks -- He looks ready to go, too.
-This guy, he's very ready to go.
And how did it go afterwards?
Oh, he's angry. It didn't go well.
Oh, now he's better.
