Revisit Every Chris Evans Movie

Everett Collection

Chris Evans knows how to capture an audience and do it well. People's 2022 Sexiest Man Alive made his big break in the 2005 hit "Fantastic Four," but you might know him better from his starring roles as Captain America in the MCU or Buzz Lightyear in "Lightyear."

Evans has been in the acting game for quite a while now, with his first role in 2000's "The Newcomers." In addition to 2022's "Lightyear," Evans also starred in Netflix's "The Gray Man" released that July, and most recently, a rom-com action-adventure film called "Ghosted." Naturally, the movie star already has several other projects lined up, too — including an action holiday flick titled "Red One" with Dwayne Johnson, which is slated to premiere sometime this year, and a "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" anime series he's set to help voice with his original costars.

That being said, you may be wondering how many movies Evans has been in. Scroll through the gallery ahead to see all of his films through the years, because we're obviously keeping track.

01

"The Newcomers" (2000)

"The Newcomers" is about a big-city family that moves to a small town to start a new life. But the family struggles to fit in — especially their good-hearted but troublemaking son, Sam. Evans plays the role of Judd, the cute boy who takes interest in Sam's older sister, in this family favorite.

02

"Not Another Teen Movie" (2001)

This flick is a play on all of your favorite teen-movie tropes, parodying the biggest teen rom-coms from the '80s and '90s, from "Never Been Kissed" and "Bring It On" to "The Breakfast Club." Evans plays Jake Wyler, the classic high school football jock everyone loves to hate. He bets that he can turn the school's outcast, Janey (Chyler Leigh), into the prom queen. Yes, just like the plot of "She's All That."

03

"The Perfect Score" (2004)

Have you ever wished you had the answers to your SATs before you had to take the actual exam? So did Evans in this 2004 film.

Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly), this ends up being trickier than taking the actual exam itself.

04

06
