Whip out the laughing gas right now!
For the better part of the past three months, I've been in and out of the dentist's office, catching up on several years' worth of missed dental work. It's been a grueling process. It's also served to remind me that while the dentist's office may not be hell precisely, it certainly feels like it. Or at least that's what I thought before I heard today's news that heartthrob Chris Evans is currently in talks to portray Orin Scrivello, D.D.S.
Fresh off his eight-year multi-million-dollar stint with Marvel , the former Captain"That Is America's Ass" America is ready to enter the next phase of his career. Right now, the actor is gearing up for the April release of his upcoming Apple TV+ crime drama miniseries Defending Jacob. But all I care about is Chris Evans as the demented dentist antagonist in Little Shop of Horrors.
If Evans does end up with the role, he will be in good company: in the wildly popular, Oscar-nominated 1986 film, the role was played by the one and only Steve Martin, and Smash's Christian Borle is currently portraying the character in the Off-Broadway production of the smash-hit musical that is playing in New York at the Westside Theater Upstairs.
Though most details about the upcoming Greg Berlanti production are unconfirmed, many casting rumors are floating around, including the involvement of Rocketman's Taron Egerton and Evans' Avengers co-star Scarlett Johannson as respective leads Seymour and Audrey. So far, Pose's Billy Porter is the only actor to have signed a contract for the film, in which he will voice Audrey II, the blood-hungry Venus flytrap that flips Seymour's life upside-down.
