In the past, Evans has shared lot of updates about Dodger, includingย news about the pup’s hip surgery.ย Some of our favorite Dodger memories include aย heartwarming photoย of Evans with his best bud on Valentine’s Day, their adorableย reunion videoย from 2017, Dodger’sย shockingly impressive singing talents, andย a dapper photo of him in the famous Knives Out sweater.

As for Evans, the actor will soon be seen in The Gray Man. ย The film is being helmed byย Avengers: Endgameย directors, Joe and Anthony Russo, and is set to star Evans and Ryan Gosling as well as Ana de Armas, Regรฉ-Jean Page, Billy Bob Thornton, and Alfre Woodard. The movie is being adapted from Mark Greaney’s book of the same name, and the script by Joe Russo was reportedly “polished” byย Avengers: Endgameย writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.ย 

Gray Manย is a spy film. For fans ofย The Winter Soldier,ย The Gray Manย is similar in a sense that we’re trying to embed it in a very modern, current environment that we’re facing on a global level in terms of spy networks and [the] CIA,” Anthony Russo said during a CCXP panel (viaย Collider). “It’ll be fun to see Chris in the opposite role of Captain America.”

Recently, Joe Russo opened up about casting the former Captain America as a villain.ย 

“We didn’t have to sell Chris on the role; Chris sold us, in a way,” Russo toldย Den of Geek. “We were talking to him as we were wrapping upย Infinity Warย and thenย Avengers: Endgameย about what’s next for him or where he wanted to go in his career, and he said, ‘You know what? I’m comfortable enough in my life and the work I’ve done that I’m just interested in taking risks moving forward, and I just want to play challenging characters.’ So it seemed obvious to us that the right move here would be to offer Chris the sociopath and not the hero.”

The Gray Manย is coming to Netflix on July 22nd.
