Ryan Gosling vs Chris Evans: Face-Off

What do you get when you cross a baby goose with a superhero? You’ll soon see as we’re in for one hell of a battle pitting two well-established titans of cinema against each other. We’ve got fist fights, superheroes, soppy romance, comedy send-ups, cool jackets, futuristic train travel, and a love affair with a… rubber sex doll? In short — it’s baby goose versus one of Earth’s mightiest heroes, which is actually more of an even matchup than it sounds. The Russo Brothers have recently unleashed their Netflix action flick, The Gray Man, starring both Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans, so what better time than now to have these two supernaturally-charismatic actors square off!

Each has had their own unique introduction to Hollywood and they are now firmly recognized as not only excellent leading men, but also franchise stalwarts as well as indie specialists. Gosling has a number of hits across a variety of genres with The Notebook, Blue Valentine, Drive, La La Land, The Nice Guys, Half Nelson, Blade Runner 2049, First Man, The Big Short, and Crazy, Stupid, Love to name a few. Evans is no slouch when it comes to critical, commercial successes. He’s starred in films such as Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Knives Out, Snowpiercer, Sunshine, and made Captain America his own in the Avengers movies as well as his solo films. Ryan Gosling’s rise to fame has come from a vastly different place in the entertainment world than Chris Evans’s, but can this Ken doll hold his own against Captain America? Let’s find out only on… FACE OFF!
