Real reason Captain America star Chris Evans skipped huge premiere of his new film in Cannes
Chris Evans was noticeably missing from the world premiere of his new film Honey Don't during the 78th Cannes Film Festival in France last Friday. The retired Captain America - turning 44 next month - did not provide an explanation for his absence until Sunday morning. 'I wish I could've been with my incredible cast and filmmakers at Cannes,' Chris - who boasts 17.4M Instagram followers - wrote. 'But it was my mother's 70th birthday and there are some things you just can't miss! Congrats everyone!' Evans is very close with his divorced mother Lisa, who fostered his creativity from an early age by installing a tap floor in the basement of their Sudbury, MA house. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop The former pro dancer currently works as artistic director for the Concord Youth Theater where the Red One action star sits on the advisory board and his sister Shanna is a costume designer. Lisa loved 'bragging about' Chris being named People's Sexiest Man Alive in 2022, and it was her who convinced him to take the multi-film MCU role of Steve Rogers. 'His biggest fear was losing his anonymity,' Evans (born Capuano) told Esquire in 2020. 'He said, "I have a career now where I can do work I really like. I can walk my dog. Nobody bothers me. Nobody wants to talk to me. I can go wherever I want. And the idea of losing that is terrifying to me."' Lisa continued: 'I said to him, "Look, you want to do acting work for the rest of your life? If you do this part, you will have the opportunity. You'll never have to worry about paying the rent. If you take the part, you just have to decide, It's not going to affect my life negatively — it will enable it."' Speaking of which, TheWrap reported that Evans would play 'an undisclosed role' in the Russo Brothers' MCU flick Avengers: Doomsday, which is already scheduled to hit US/UK theaters December 18, 2026. Last Friday, Honey Don't director Ethan Coen climbed the grand staircase of Palais des Festivals alongside members of the cast and crew including Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, and Charlie Day. The same group, including co-screenwriter Tricia Cooke, glammed up for the who-done-it dark comedy's photo call on Saturday. In Honey Don't - hitting US theaters August 22 - Chris 'slips easily' into the cult leader role of Reverend Drew Devlin, but 'the film feels like a series of gags with nowhere to go' according to THR critic Lovia Gyarkye. Last Friday, Collider critic Therese Lacson wrote that Evans presents 'one of the funniest characters' in the movie, but she 'questioned his character's purpose'- following the twisted climax. Mashable critic Kristy Puchko agreed that the finale will 'divide critics and audiences' she called the Boston-born Buddhist 'hilarious' and his 'physicality is suitably absurd.' From the 12 submitted reviews, Honey Don't currently has a dismal 50% critic approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. On December 30, Chris wrapped his role as kidnapped movie star Mike Tyler in Romain Gavras' upcoming adventure comedy Sacrifice. Evans is also credited as a producer on the flick featuring Anya Taylor-Joy, Salma Hayek, Vincent Cassel, Charli XCX, and John Malkovich. But first, audiences can catch the Deadpool & Wolverine actor as lovesick waiter John in Celine Song's matchmaking rom-com Materialists - hitting US theaters June 13 - alongside Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal.

Materialists Trailer: Love Gets Complicated With Chris Evans And Dakota Johnson
Last Updated: Materialists stars Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson in a love triangle balancing stability and chaos between her past and present. Romance takes a modern, complicated turn in Materialists, a new romantic comedy set in the heart of New York City. Starring Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson, the film explores a stylish love triangle under the direction of Celine Song, whose debut feature Past Lives received critical acclaim and an Oscar nomination. In Materialists, Dakota Johnson steps into the role of Lucy, a driven and high-powered matchmaker who has built a thriving career connecting others—but whose own romantic life is far less orderly. Her world begins to spiral when, during a chic Manhattan soiree, she crosses paths with Harry (Pedro Pascal), a charming and wealthy tech billionaire with all the makings of a perfect partner. The same night throws her for an emotional loop when she unexpectedly bumps into her ex-boyfriend John (Chris Evans), a passionate but struggling actor-slash-waiter, whose imperfections and past heartbreaks still linger in her mind. According to the film's official synopsis, Lucy must navigate the emotional tug-of-war between her stable, aspirational present and the messy, unresolved past she thought she left behind. The story cleverly weaves humour, vulnerability and sharp introspection as Lucy contemplates whether true love lies in what looks good on paper or in something far more chaotic and unpredictable. The newly released trailer offers glimpses into this tangled love triangle, filled with biting one-liners, lingering stares and moments of romantic tension. One pivotal scene shows John confronting Lucy about her relationship with Harry, asking whether she truly envisions a life with him, adding layers of doubt to what initially seemed like a fairy tale match. With its sparkling dialogue and stylish visuals, Materialists is shaping up to be one of the most buzzworthy rom-coms of the year. The film also boasts a stellar supporting cast, including Marin Ireland, Louisa Jacobson, Zoe Winters, Sawyer Spielberg and Dasha Nekrasova, each bringing depth to a vibrant ensemble. As her second directorial outing, Materialists sees Celine Song blending the emotional resonance of Past Lives with a lighter, more comedic tone, proving her storytelling versatility while still exploring themes of identity, love and self-worth. Distributed by A24, Materialists joins a slate of exciting new releases from the indie powerhouse. Other anticipated titles on their calendar include On Becoming a Guinea Fowl (released March 7), the surreal drama Opus starring Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich (March 14), and the fantastical Death of a Unicorn featuring Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd (March 28). Set to hit theatres on June 13, Materialists is primed to be a summer hit—blending aesthetics, smart storytelling and star power into a must-watch cinematic romance. First Published:

Fans are Convinced Marvel is Going to Kill Off Thor in Recent Post from Chris Hemsworth
With Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans bowing out of the MCU after Endgame , it was Chris Hemsworth who was left behind to keep reprising Thor for Marvel Studios. With him expected to make an appearance in Doomsday , a lot of fans are convinced that this could be Hemsworth's last time as the God of Thunder because of a recent statement he made. Hemsworth (via @CultureCrave) wrote: 'Playing Thor has been one of the greatest honors of my life. For the last 15 years I've held Mjolnir and then Stormbreaker as the God of Thunder, but what made it truly special… was sharing it with all of you. Your passion, your cheers, and your love for this character have meant everything to me' 'Thank you for making my journey through the MCU unforgettable.. Next up, Doomsday!' At this point, everyone was already convinced that this means that they could be killing him off in the movie. Fans have replied with, 'Ya he's getting cooked ,' and, ' Oh he's not coming back after Doomsday.' With all of his other co-stars having moved on, it would make sense for Hemsworth to drop out of the MCU eventually. After all, he did go public with a diagnosis of him being susceptible to Alzheimer's disease, and it's possible he could be taking the time to process that. Personally, I was just hoping that they kept him around in a limited role. Thor eventually takes the place of Odin in the comics, and it would have been great if Hemsworth could just stick around in a chair ruling Asgard and being mentor to a new Thor. For now, fans wait for Avengers: Doomsday which comes out Dec. 18, 2026.

A 1,600-Year-Old Byzantine Mosaic Was Just Unveiled at a Monastery in Israel
The Be'er Shema Mosaic is now open to the public for the first time at the Merhavim Regional Council complex in northwestern Negev, Israel, reported the Jerusalem Post on Tuesday. The 1,600-year-old mosaic intricately details scenes of hunting, exotic animals, mythological figures, fruit, and daily life within 55 medallions. Archaeologists have theorized that it was created by a master craftsman due to the small size of the stones, the variety of color, and incorporation of glass and pottery. More from Robb Report Marvel Star Chris Evans Is Asking $7 Million for His Hollywood Hills Home BMW's High-Performance M5 Station Wagon Is More Popular Than Its Sedan in the U.S. A Stately French Normandy Tudor Home in Westchester County Lists for $6.5 Million Though the mosaic dates back to the Byzantine period (324–638 CE), it was unearthed during a 1990 excavation of agricultural areas nearby Kibbutz Urim, situated in the Roman and Byzantine administrative center and fortified village Horbat Be'er Shema. The town was known for its location along an ancient trade route connecting the desert region to Gaza, which was a Mediterranean port city at the time. The mosaic was discovered within a monastery. A large wine press and warehouses filled with jars were also found, indicating that the monastic order may have made a living producing and selling wine. Further excavations were completed under Dan Gazit and Shayka Lander from the Israel Antiquities Authority, before the piece was covered for preservation. 'Over the years, the mosaic floor's state of preservation has deteriorated. Against this background, it was rediscovered, treated and strengthened, and moved from its original location to the council compound in Merhavim,' Ami Shahar, head of the Conservation Department at the Israel Antiquities Authority, said in a statement. 'Now, it is protected from agricultural and development work, and is finally being displayed to the public.' On Saturday, the inaugural ceremony featured local students, as well as the Minister of Heritage MK Amichai Eliyahu and the head of the Merhavim Regional Council Shai Hajj. It has been made accessible as part of the 'Antiquities Near Home' project, co-organized by the Ministry of Heritage and the Israel Antiquities Authority.

Hollywood star Chris Evans reveals why he skipped Cannes Film Festival
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Chris Evans was notably absent from the red carpet at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where his latest film, Honey Don't!, made its highly anticipated debut. While the film's director Ethan Coen and co-stars Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, Charlie Day, and Billy Eichner attended the premiere, fans quickly noticed the Captain America star's absence and began speculating about the reason. Honey Don't! — a comedy-mystery helmed by Coen — was featured in the festival's popular Midnight Screenings section. The film received a warm reception at its premiere in the Grand Theatre Lumière, earning a six-minute standing ovation. Shortly after the event, Evans addressed the speculation directly on Instagram. In a story shared post-premiere, the actor revealed he chose to miss Cannes to celebrate a personal milestone — his mother Lisa's 70th birthday. 'I wish I could've been with my incredible cast and filmmakers at Cannes, but it was my mother's 70th birthday, and there are some things you just can't miss!' Evans wrote, adding a red carpet photo of his castmates alongside his message. He also extended his congratulations, saying, 'Congrats everyone!!' Evans, 43, has frequently spoken about the importance of family in his life. In a 2017 Esquire interview, he reflected on the value of familial bonds, saying, 'I've always loved stories about people who put their families before themselves. It's such a noble endeavor.' Though he wasn't physically present, Evans' heartfelt tribute to his mother and support for his colleagues served as a reminder of the priorities he holds dear — both on-screen and off.
