Rappin’ Captain America Outtakes from SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING Are Hilarious

Iron Man wasn’t the only Avenger in Spider-Man: Homecoming. While Tony Stark may have played a larger role in Peter Parker’s journey, Captain America stole his scenes with some hilariously cheesy PSAs. It seems as if Cap’s post-Civil War status as a fugitive isn’t enough to fully ruin his good name, even if he does seem hopelessly out of touch in those clips. But if you loved those Cap moments, then you’ll be happy to hear that there are a lot more of them to come.

According to a report on Collider, Spider-Man: Homecoming director Jon Watts has confirmed that Chris Evans filmed at least ten PSAs as Captain America in the limited time he was on the set. And all ten of those PSAs will be included as a bonus feature on the blu-ray release of the film. Judging by the costume that Cap wears in the videos, we’re guessing that he filmed them shortly after the first Avengers movie and before he gained his more cynical outlook in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

“I just wrote pages of them ’cause I had Chris Evans for however amount of time,” explained Watts. “I think we had a teleprompter actually, so he was just … It was like Captain America just showed up and had to do this stuff for the government… He’s just reading it off the scrolling thing and being like, ‘Are you sure you want me to say this?’”

Captain America It's easy to look at Marvel's star-spangled hero, Captain America, and just call him a jingoistic holdover from the uber-patriotic World War II days, but in the decades hence, Steve Rogers has become the voice of reason, the inflexible barometer of right and wrong, and the very heart of the Avengers. Any time he appears in a book or a film, you can assume he's the one who'll rally the troops and save the day.

Without spoiling the surprise, one of Cap’s PSA’s seemed to be directly addressing the audience’s expectations. But it’s fun to imagine Cap sharing his thoughts on conflict resolution and communication, which were his two biggest weaknesses in Civil War. It would also be entertaining to hear Cap’s thoughts about public service, teenage smoking, and especially sex education. That last one practically writes itself.
