Thanks to the magic of the internet, we now have a pretty solid idea of what it would be like if Billy Eichner had been cast as Captain America. Eichner, of course, is well-known for his hilarious Billy on the Street sketches [3], which have included Julianne Moore acting [4], Tina Fey doing her best [5], and some quality time with Sarah Jessica Parker [6]. Anyway, I digress. The clip at hand is actually a snippet from Captain America: Civil War [7], but it's featuring audio from a Billy segment called "Lesbian Lightning Round." [8] The clip may only be six seconds long, but I've probably watched it, like, 600 times. There's just something special about Cap rallying a bunch of lesbians.
Even better, Billy Eichner himself noticed the clip on Monday, and even reposted it and tagged Chris Evans. And then Chris Evans responded. Good day.
Hey @ChrisEvans [9] this is what happened when someone put audio from Billy on the Street into Captain America https://t.co/euHWkoVTO4 [10]

That's exactly what I was going for in that moment. I'm glad someone picked up on my inner monologue. https://t.co/NpbHb4Brie [12]
