LOS ANGELES: With a suit of stars and stripes, and a loyal Marvel fan base behind him, actor Chris Evans once again brandishes the shield of superhero Captain America in a new film. In real life, the actor finds himself at odds with the demands of fame.

Walt Disney Co’s Marvel Studios sequel “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” out in US and Canadian theaters on Friday, thrusts the patriotic superhero into battle with an elusive enemy.

The film catches up with Captain America’s alter-ego Steve Rogers after he emerged from being frozen for 70 years and helped save New York in 2012’s blockbuster superhero ensemble “The Avengers.” Rogers is now living in Washington and adjusting to modern life. The former soldier has joined the spy agency S.H.I.E.L.D. and teams with the Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) to unravel a conspiracy.

What has changed about Captain America in the sequel? The actor said: “He has always been a servant for the people. The problem now is given the current technological advancements, in order to preserve the freedom that we try to promise people, you may have to bend the rules in order to keep people safe. There is a great line in the movie that (S.H.I.E.L.D. director) Nick Fury says, “S.H.I.E.L.D takes the world as it is, not as we’d like it to be.” That’s a tough concept for Cap to swallow.”

In a previous interview, Evans had said he hates doing press for his movies. “It wouldn’t be so bad if it was all in one nut, if I had one giant conference and we all talked once. There is no question you can throw my way that I haven’t answered 30 times today. That’s the problem. It’s a very mundane. It’s very tedious. It’s a real chore. But in the grand scheme of things, I’m not flipping burgers. I’m not in the coal mines.”
