Chris Evans
- Chris Evans is in talks to portray screen legend Gene Kelly, beloved for his classics like 'Singin' in the Rain,' 'An American in Paris,' and 'On the Town,' in a project the 'Knives Out' star actually originally conceived himself. The untitled film is about a 12-year-old boy working on the MGM lot in 1952 who creates an imagined friendship with Kelly, who is there working on his next film, Deadline reports. Though little else is known about the project which Evans will also co-produce, it's certain that if he takes the part of Kelly he's got some enormous shoes to fill.
