EXCLUSIVE: Chris Evans Is Bearded and Brooding in Behind-the-Scenes Pics From 'Gifted'

Chris Evans
is perhaps best known for his pec-perfect portrayal of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he plays a superhero of a different sort in Gifted.

In Marc Webb’s cerebral family drama, Evans plays Frank Adler, a philosophy professor-turned-boat mechanic who raises his hyper-intelligent niece in a small Florida town, after his sister kills herself when Mary (Mckenna Grace) is just a baby.

When Mary attends public school for the first time, and her obvious brilliance becomes evident, Frank must fight for custody against the state and his mother, Evelyn (Lindsay Duncan), who has plans of her own for her granddaughter’s exceptional cognitive abilities.

The bittersweet storyline and sun-soaked backdrop set the scene for a heartwarming narrative -- and a lot of bearded, brooding Evans. Check out ET’s exclusive, never-before-released stills from the making of Gifted below:
