Atlanta, the critically acclaimed dramedy from Donald Glover, may be preparing to take its final bow, but it’s well on its way to going out in a blaze of glory. The FX original’s fourth and final season has been impeccable, providing viewers with more of the humor, surrealism and social commentary that they’ve come to expect. The show has had some funny moments throughout the season, including one that featured actor Chris Evans. The actor himself didn’t actually appear, and series EP Stephen Glover revealed that he and his team never reached out to the star about a cameo. Evans replied to Glover’s comments.
The sixth episode Atlanta Season 4 sees Brian Tyree Henry’s Alfred “Paper Boi”Miles tries to avoid the “Crank Dat Killer,” an assassin who targets people who’ve made dance videos set to Soulja Boy’s “Crank That.”Al attempts to hide himself while shopping at the mall but is quickly recognized and recognised by a clerk. After calling him out for trying disguise, she points to Chris Evans who is nearby and signs autographs.
As great as the joke is, it would’ve been even better had the Marvel alum appeared as opposed to a double, and the star himself seemed to have been open to that. While perusing Twitter, the actor spotted Stephen Glover’s quotes about not reaching out to him and reacted by asking a simple question:
Why not??
I won’t lie, I have to agree with the A-lister’s sentiment. Let’s face it, AtlantaIn the past, some of its guests stars have been quite surprising, including Liam Neeson and Michael Vick. (Yes, that’s right. Soulja Boy even made a brief appearance in the most recent episode. Stephen Glover stated that he had not reached out to Soulja Boy because he was no longer a Captain America actor.
We didn’t try to get Chris Evans. We just think he’s funny. The writers’ room has several running jokes about Chris Evans, but we’ve never tried to get him.
Though some fans (like myself) will probably lament that missed opportunity, it’s not a major thing in the midst of this stellar season. Honestly, as this season goes on, I’m simply reminded of just how much I’ll miss Atlanta. But despite the show’s continued popularity, Donald Glover felt it was best to retire after Season 4.. He and the cast and crew are definitely making the most of the final episodes, as they’ve covered a myriad of topics (Includes the shelf lives for Black musicians). If the series continues at this pace, it will be It could be even more. The Sopranos’ final season – a notion that Glover previously argued.
I guess if there’s any consolation here, it’s that we now seemingly know that Chris Evans is one of the show’s many fans. He may still feel guilty about not getting a call. However, I’d be lying if I said I won’t continue to think about just how great a cameo he could’ve had.
