Wondering what damage such a sweet Tweet could do? Chris Evans once said he wanted to do more challenging roles, in contrast to his heroic roles in superhero movies. Looks like Chris might just have found what he wanted with The Gray Man, as he plays Lloyd the antagonist and a psychopathic one at that.

But this fan says they love how recognizable Chris’ voice is, and that it makes him sound like a goofball even as he plays the antagonist. The tweet must be a heart-breaking one for Chris as his solid efforts into being an antagonist just came off as goofy.
