Chris Evans is out promoting his new movie (and soon-to-be summer blockbuster) ‘The Avengers’. Chris returns as Captain America in the Marvel movie, alongside other superheros like Thor, Iron Man, the Black Widow, the Hulk and more.

The shy actor sat down with Playboy Magazine for an interesting interview. He talks about Scarlett Johansson and how “blessed” (ahem) she is. He talks about Robert Downey Jr., and the types of women he’s attracted to.  He says that we would be surprised with the kinds of women he’s attracted to, but after describing “her” I’m not that surprised at all. I could see him going for exactly the kind of woman he describes (like I know the man).

Here’s more via Celebitchy:

On co-star Robert Downey Jr. “When we started filming The Avengers, Captain America had not come out yet, and my big concern with Captain America was the press. I love doing one-on-ones. This feels like a conversation. This feels normal to me. But when you get on a stage, all of a sudden you feel like, man, there are 100 people just looking at you. It’s a little bit of a strange feeling. Your heart starts pounding, and that’s scary. Downey was good at just making me feel calm, saying, ‘Look, you’re not alone in this,’ and helping my confidence.”

On co-star Scarlett Johansson: “She is a beautiful lady. She really got blessed. I love that girl, man. She’s like my sister. I’ve known her for 10 years. She’s just one of the smartest people I know. It’s great when someone with a razor-sharp intellect wants to have fun. A lot of my buddies who like to have fun are a little lowbrow, and that’s fun. It’s enjoyable, but you can laugh at only so many farts.”

On being picky with da ladies: “I guess it’s a perfect combination of things. I’m incredibly picky, but that doesn’t mean I look for perfection. I like strange things. I wish you could see some of the girls I have genuinely had crushes on in my life. They’re not the girls you would assume. My friends cannot figure out the girls that, for some reason, I fall for. It’s a unique blend of traits, and on top of that, I’m really enjoying myself right now. I like being able to do what I want to do. If I wantto sleep until three today, I’m gonna sleep until three. If I want to go to Vegas this weekend, guess what–I’m going to Vegas. That’s a tough thing to walk away from, and so it has to be the right person. The pickiness makes that an uphill battle. I like girls who are self-deprecating. I like girls who make fun of themselves. If you can’t poke fun at yourself, what are you? I love making fun of myself, so I need a girl who can do that and mean it. And I like generosity. I like compassionate people. I’m not looking for some businesswoman who’s out there making millions and just here to take the world by storm. I just want someone with a good soul. That’s about it. The rest I’m really flexible on. I like a good ass, though. I will say that. It’s Playboy, right? I can say that? I like a big ass.”

His celebrity crush: “I used to be in love with Sandra Bullock when I was growing up. Sandy B. was my girl. I remember seeing Speed when I was in seventh grade and just thinking, That’s her. I can’t say I know her, but from what I’ve heard, she’s fantastic.”

I’m not a huuuuuuuuuuuge Chris Evans fan. I don’t think he’s particularly good looking, and to be honest, I can think of about two movies he’s starred in (I didn’t see ‘Captain America’). I’m excited to see ‘The Avengers’ – mostly because my boys are going to love it.

You excited??

Today we have our first look at ‘The Avengers’, Marvel’s epic superhero movie. The film stars Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddleston as the evil Loki and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow.

In a recent interview, Evans told The Huffington Post that he wasn’t sure what to think of the film before shooting began, but he’s more than happy with the result.

“Going into it, you’re like, who knows? I don’t know how this is gonna go,” he admitted. “There’s a lot of big actors, a lot of big egos, everyone has their own thing going. I can’t say enough; it couldn’t have gone better. I have high hopes. I hope it’s awesome.”

Assuring us that the film balanced action and substance, he shouted out Whedon, creator of “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” and fanboy pinup, for his work putting it together.

“It’s not easy trying to bring all those characters together and find a story, but the best thing about Joss is that Joss is a fan, Joss is a comic book guy,” he said. “It feels so nice working with a guy that is well, the people I am trying to please is Joss. Joss is one of those dudes. And if Joss is happy with the dialog, if Joss is happy with the wardrobe, if Joss is happy, then I’m happy. Because he’s Comic-Con, he’s one of these dudes who would be in the audience geeking out, so if he’s happy, I’m happy.”

I love superhero movies. GOOD superhero movies, that is. I truly hope this movie is better than the trailer. The trailer is…. boring! Isn’t it? After watching the trailer – I found myself thinking “that’s it?”.

With all that talent – I was really hoping the trailer would just blow me away. But it didn’t. There wasn’t anything spectacular about it.

Watch the trailer below! Also – here are a bunch of pictures from the set back in September.

I’ve never really been a huge Chris Evans fan. In fact, as I sit here – I can’t think of a single movie he’s ever been in. I know I’ve seen his movies, but they were completely unmemorable, because now I’m drawing a blank. I was a bit surprised to hear that he had been chosen to star as Captain America.

Chris Evans on getting over his initial reluctance to take on the role of Captain America:
“I said no a bunch, and every time I said no, I woke up the next morning so happy and content. I kept saying no; they kept coming back. And eventually I was like, ‘You know what? This is your biggest fear—this is exactly what you have to do.’ ”

…on his character in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World:
“The character’s supposed to be this horrible actor and a douchebag, and I get the job and so many people were like, ‘You’re perfect, you’re gonna crush it!’ ” he continued with feigned anger. “I was like, So I got this role as an a–hole actor, and you guys think I nailed it? That I’m a natural and that nobody in town can do it better?”

…on how seeing sunsets are the “happiest” times in his life:
“The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it’s so great, because for a little bit I’m out of my brain, and it’s got nothing to do with me. I’m not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness.”
