Chris Evans Is 'Waiting to Do an Actual Musical Film': 'I Want to Sing, I Want to Dance' (Exclusive)

Chris Evans shares his next surprise dream project!

Actor, 43, now acting Red opposite Dwayne Johnson, tells PEOPLE he can’t wait to move away from action movies and become a major musical.

“I’m waiting to make a real musical film. I want to sing,” Evans tells PEOPLE. “[And] dance. That’s what I want.”

“Let’s manifest it, man,” says his colleague Johnson, 52.

“I mean, it’s hard though because it’s something you have to do right. You just bite into that apple,” Evans continues. “… But knowing that I’m very precious with it and I want to make sure it’s the right thing. Well, yes, that’s what we’re always working on.”

“That’s the fastest way to get me in a room. If you say it will be a musical, I listen to you”, he adds.

The actor’s comments come after he spoke to PEOPLE about slowing down his career to focus on his personal life in 2022.

Evans says he now thinks about what fulfills him outside of work and in life at home with his wife of a year, Alba Baptista.

“I always feel like I’m missing hobbies because when you’re a kid, acting is your hobby, but then acting becomes your job,” he tells PEOPLE. “And when your hobby becomes your job, there is a void, something is missing. You need things in life that are not for work, that are not for making money, that is just for you. And I would like it to be something new.”

Evans adds that yoga is at the top of his list of new hobbies, as is painting.

“My wife is an amazing artist, so she was going to take up painting. Maybe I’ll struggle with it until I realize how much better she is than me,” he jokes.

Red it’s in theaters now.
