Chris Evans & Chris Pratt Raising Money For Charity With Twitter Bowl

Marvel Cinematic Universe superstars Chris Pratt and Chris Evans are generating money for good causes this week as their New England-versus-Seattle trash talk ramps up in advance of Super Bowl XLIX.

Chris Evans is a fan of the Patriots and Pratt a fan of the Seahawks, which gave them the perfect opportunity to make a friendly wager and help sick kids at the same time.

About two weeks ago, we reported on the light-hearted barbs being traded back and forth between Avengers star Chris Evans and Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt, who support the NFL's New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks respectively.

The pair had been picking on one another on Twitter, and shortly after we reported on their jokes, they upped their game, each betting that the loser would fly to the winner's city, at his own expense and in his Marvel costume, to meet with patients at an area children's hospital.

Minus the travel and football elements, this is pretty common practice for both of them; Pratt famously took one of the Star-Lord costumes home after the film was complete so that he could visit kids in the hospital in character, and Evans recently made an appearance at a Boston-area hospital to visit a young fan.

Now, each of the actors is trying to get their supporters to put their money where their mouths are:
