The ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Blu-ray Will Have Many More Captain America PSAs
One of the best things about
Spider-Man: Homecoming is that it feels like it lives inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe rather than simply going along with it. It lets us see the indirect ramifications of superheroes roaming our world, and one of those ramifications is that Captain America (
Chris Evans) does PSAs for kids, and high schools show those PSAs.
We see a few of these PSAs during the film, but it turns out that director
Jon Wattsdid plenty more, and we’ll have a chance to see them on the Blu-ray/DVD release. Speaking to Steve Weintraub about the film, Watts talked about putting together the Cap PSAs:
“We put it together like it was the actual DVD that they show at the school, so it just is clicking from one to another to another.”
The way they wrote and shot the scenes is that Watts had Evans for a set amount of time, so Watts just wrote up a bunch of PSAs to have Evans read off a teleprompter:
“I just wrote pages of them ’cause I had Chris Evans for however amount of time, so I just feed him … I think we had a teleprompter actually, so he was just … It was like Captain America just showed up and had to do this stuff for the government… He’s just reading it off the scrolling thing and being like, ‘Are you sure you want me to say this?'”
