Lionsgate
Snowpiercer (2013) — Stream on Tubi
In this gritty sci-fi thriller from Parasite and Mickey 17 director Bong Joon-ho, Evans plays Curtis, the reluctant leader of a revolution aboard a train circling a frozen Earth. It’s dark, cerebral, and completely unlike anything he did in the MCU. Plus, his final monologue? Devastating.
Lionsgate
Knives Out (2019) — Stream on Prime Video
Ransom Drysdale is the furthest thing from Steve Rogers—and that’s the point. Evans plays the snarky, spoiled black sheep of a wealthy family with delicious arrogance. He is clearly having a blast here, and so will you. You definitely wanna watch this one before Wake Up Dead Man: Knives Out drops!
Searchlight Pictures
Gifted (2017) — Stream on Prime Video
This quieter indie drama came out in 2017 and showcases Evans’ softer side. He stars alongside a young McKenna Grace (Sunrise on the Reaping, Regretting You) as a single man raising his genius niece while fighting to give her a normal childhood. It’s heartfelt and surprisingly moving, proving that he doesn’t need superpowers to be a compelling lead.
Universal Pictures
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) — Stream on HBO Max
In Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Evans plays Lucas Lee, a smug action star and one of Ramona Flowers’ seven evil exes. It’s a brief role, but he chews through every second with over-the-top flair and perfect comedic timing in Michael Cera's cult classic film.
Lionsgate
The Iceman (2012) — Stream on Tubi
In this lesser-known crime thriller, Evans transforms into Mr. Freezy, a contract killer with a van full of ice cream and weapons. It’s creepy, weirdly likable, and a total pivot from his usual roles.
RADiUS
Before We Go (2014) — Stream on Tubi
Evans also directed Before We Go, an indie romance about two strangers who connect over the course of one night in New York City. It’s a bit slow, but if you’re a sucker for late-night, soulful conversations, it hits the mark.
Fox Searchlight Pictures
Sunshine (2007) — Stream on Prime Video
Another early sci-fi win, Evans plays the pragmatic Mace in this visually stunning space mission to save the sun. His sharp-edged performance stands out amongst a strong ensemble cast.
Netflix
The Red Sea Diving Resort (2019) — Stream on Netflix
Based on true events, this under-the-radar Netflix thriller follows Israeli agents smuggling refugees out of Sudan. It’s not perfect, but Evans brings intensity and heart to the lead role.
Sony Pictures
Not Another Teen Movie (2001) — Stream on Prime Video
This is where it all began. As the ultimate parody of early-2000s jock culture, Evans goes all in—whipped cream bikini scene and all.
Paramount Pictures
The Perfect Score (2004) — Stream on Prime Video
Finally, The Perfect Score is a high school heist film that’s part Ocean’s Eleven, part SAT prep. It’s campy fun and a time capsule of Evans’ pre-superstardom. Oh, and did we mention he and Scarlett Johansson starred in this before they joined the MCU?!
