Materialists Stars Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans Love These Rom-Coms. Any Guesses?
Last Updated:
Chris Evans shed light on his character, John, from the recently released film Materialists. The actor shared that, according to him, John was a 'film snob' who disliked rom-coms.
Materialists, led by Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, hit the big screens on Friday, June 13. The romantic drama, directed by Celine Song, revolves around a messy love triangle between the two. At present, the cast is busy promoting the movie. In one such media interaction, Dakota, best known for her role in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise and Chris Evans, aka Captain America, revealed which rom-coms their Materialist characters would love.
Dakota Johnson essays the character of Lucy, a New York City-based matchmaker. Chris Evans, on the other hand, slips into the shoes of John, a struggling actor and Lucy's ex-boyfriend. Pedro Pascal is seen as Lucy's potential love interest, Harry Castillo.
Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans recently had a candid conversation with Entertainment Weekly. When asked to name the Hollywood rom-coms Lucy and John would choose, Chris was quick to reply for Dakota. He said, 'Lucy might like something more cynical."
Disagreeing with her co-star, Dakota Johnson shared, 'Well, probably. But I feel like in their world, it is a different world and so they would love Woody Allen movies." The Academy Award-winning filmmaker is credited with soul-stirring films like Annie Hall, Something Else, Midnight in Paris, Coup de Chance, Manhattan, Match Point and Blue Jasmine, to name a few.

When it was Chris Evans' turn, the 44-year-old revealed, 'I almost feel like John does not like rom-coms." Dakota Johnson intervened and asked, 'Oh, you are like he is too serious?". Without any hesitation, Chris answered, 'John is like a film snob", shedding light on his Materialists' role.
Previously, Chris Evans opened up about his personal red and green flags when in love. The Avengers star said, 'Red flags – if you don't love animals. If you're not a dog person but you're a cat person, I'll allow it. But if you don't do animals at all, that's a red flag. There's no way that's going to work for me."
Speaking about what he considers a green flag, Chris Evans shared, 'Just a sense of kindness. I like kind people, you know."

Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed to get new stablemates in two prominent NXT stars
Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman's new faction (Image via WWE) Seth Rollins is rolling into WWE as one of the biggest stars of the division and has shown through his hard work and domineering personality how fortune truly favors the brave. Recently, after the infamous Paul Heyman betrayal that left not just fans, but also Roman Reigns and CM Punk completely shocked, Rollins has found a new group to have his back. Although who knows when betrayal strikes again. But for now, looks like this new stable is looking to add more stablemates, and NXT stars Ethan Page and Ricky Saints are said to be in the mix. Former and current NXT North American Champions could join Seth Rollins' stable The Former NXT North American Champion, Ricky Saints, who recently lost his title to the current NXT North American Champion, Ethan Page, are both in consideration to join Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman's brand new stable. Rollins already has Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed on his side, and could be adding two more to the equation. Fightful had previously reported that WWE had no plans on adding more members to the stable, at least until the WrestleMania weekend. But things seem to have changed after the Saturday Night Main Event episode back in May, when Bronson Reed joined Rollins and Breakker inside the ring to take out CM Punk. Paul Heyman is, of course, also a part of this group after he betrayed not only Roman Reigns but also CM Punk and changed the course of their storyline to a completely different route. And now, according to Bodyslam, WWE is planning on adding more members to this exciting new stable. And the two NXT stars who recently fought it out amongst each other are their top choices for the job. Both Ethan Page and Ricky Saints are exceptional wrestlers and have taken the NXT crowd by storm. So it is not a surprise that WWE is planning to make a shift and bring them to the big leagues. While this could mean exciting new things happening inside the Stamford-based promotion, things are not set in stone. This stable has a lot of potential, and adding new stars to the mix could go either way. Until then, fans can enjoy Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman's brand new stable as it is, and keep their fingers crossed for what comes next.
