In family drama Gifted, Captain America star Chris Evans is caught up in a very different battle to his usual superhero smackdowns. He plays Frank, uncle and guardian to Mary, a prodigiously talented seven-year-old. When Frank’s estranged mother tries to take Mary to live with her and get special tutoring, a vicious custody fight ensues. Evans talks about what motivates his character, and the larger conflicts currently dividing America.Gifted is released in UK cinemas on Friday.
