Since it first started in 1967, the Super Bowl has brought millions of people together in order to stuff their faces full of buffalo wings, drink watered down beer, and make outlandish bets based on their allegiance to the region where they grew up. That same sense of unwavering loyalty extends to the Marvel Universe too, we’ve learned, as Captain America (Chris Evans) and Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) took to Twitter to lay down some friendly smack talk about who will win this year’s Super Bowl.
Evans, a Boston native, is a diehard Patriots fan, whereas the Washington-raised Pratt bleeds Seahawks blue and green. Much like the third act of a Marvel movie, things escalated quickly.
Chris Evans fired the first shot at his galaxy-guarding pal, but Chris Pratt was quick to retort.
@ChrisEvans We both know there’s only one Captain America and his name is Russell Wilson. #SuperBowlBound #LOB #Repeat

That kind of talk could spark a Civil War! Good thing Cap is a betting man.
@prattprattpratt them’s fightin words. Stakes? #whatisaseahawkanyway #somethingtombradyhunts — Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) January 19, 2015
And so is Star-Lord.
@ChrisEvans OK. Seahawks win you fly yourself to Seattle, visit @seattlechildren hospital as Captain America, waving the 12th man flag.

And if Chris Pratt loses?
@prattprattpratt I accept. And when the Patriots humiliate your seachickens, I expect Star-Lord to arrive at @chris_haven in a Brady jersey

@ChrisEvans Humiliate my Seahawks? Maybe talk to Brady about deflating your expectations. BOOM! (legion of) You're on sucka.

Now this is a throwdown worthy of a Phase III solo film.
Which superhero will you be supporting in this Super Bowl smackdown? Let us know in the comments below.
Cap is the man, but I have to go with Starlord and the Seahawks…
This is Marvel Civil War Right here
Oh captain my captain!
GO HAWKS!!! chris pratt has this in the bag 🙂
Best part of the whole thing is the bet payoff is something positive for someone else, not something for themselves. And it’s genuine from both, not some contrived studio BS, because I’ve heard them both do interviews about what it means to be a kid’s hero, and they’ve visited hospitals before.
I laughed too hard on sea chickens. I’m backing the captn just for that.
This is great! Friendly competition and smack talking where no ill comes of it, the only real question is which children’s hospital gets to see a superhero (probably both, if I have any inkling of the level of integrity these guys have for giving back).
Russell Wilson…obviously.
I can’t wait to see Captain America with the 12th Flag! Go Seahawks!!!
Yes, Star Lord!! Go Hawks
Yes, Star Lord! Go Hawks
I expect that to be filmed and fully disseminated across the internets.
Ha! Oh dear, do you think we should tell him the Legion of Doom is DC?
He’s not referring to the Legion of Doom, but the Legion of Boom (LOB) which is the nickname of the Seahawks secondary – Richard Sherman, Byron Maxwell, Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas. Looking forward to seeing Captain America visit Seattle Children’s. Go Hawks!
Go Seahawks
I am all in favor of…Captain America.
Captain America, naturally
SEAHAWKS! We will be seeing Captain America with the 12th Man Flag at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
Captain will be visiting Seattle!
Best Super Bowl wager ever. Seahawks!! #gohawks
Look, I love a shirtless Starlord as much as the next girl, but seriously, does EVERY story online about this have to have the 2 shirtless pics of them next to each other?
If the internet Gods be good, then yes.
These two Marvel stars are trash talking on twitter about the Superbowl, so here is a pic of them without shirts. #relevant

Apparently I don’t know how comments work. I was going to say that ladies deserve gratuitous fan service, too. Equal opportunity.
Totally relevant! They look hot! Don’t be jelly, hater!
Captain America….. I’m a patriots but I live in Oregon and Seattle is the closest to a team we have
Ethan…our Ducks could take on a half-dozen pro teams.
But not the Buckeyes apparently
lol yet they lost to Ohio….
The worst NFL team would light up the best college team by 12+ touchdowns. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t understand the sheer size, strength, and speed mismatches that would exist on the line of scrimmage alone.
Captain America, duh! The ultimate Patriot!
Both these guys are such good people, it wont matter who wins (obv patriots)… because we all know they are both showing up to each others place anyways
So true!
Go Hawks!
I wish internet communication was this friendly 🙁
