Sudbury native Chris Evans reportedly signs on for his next film
Sudbury native Chris Evans has reportedly picked his newest project, a film set halfway around the world.
According to Deadline, Evans is set to star in Red Sea Diving Resort, a historical drama centered around the rescue and transport of Beta Jews from Ethiopia to Israel in 1981. Evans will reportedly play Ari Kidron, a “charming Israeli agent who assembles a ragtag team to help with the exodus on the ground.”
Red Sea Diving Resort will be directed by Gideon Raff, best known as the creator of the Israeli TV show Prisoners of War and as an executive producer for its American spinoff, Homeland.
Evans can be seen next in Gifted, which hits theaters April 7. He’s currently filming Avengers: Infinity Wars, which is slated to come out in 2018. Evans also recently signed on to star in Jekyll, an adaptation of the 2007 BBC series of the same name in which he will play a modern descendant of the famous literary character with a dangerous split personality first created by Robert Louis Stevenson.
