But according to Evans, there’s only one group of people he’s interested in impressing: the fans.

“There’s a great sense of responsibility because it’s such a big franchise, and it’s such an important franchise to many people throughout the world of all ages and all genders,” says Evans, 42, who includes himself in that group of fans he wants to impress.
