Whether he’s returning as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday or competing with Pedro Pascal to seduce Dakota Johnson in Materialists, Chris Evans has the goods. The People’s Choice Award–winning actor first captured the public’s attention with his eight-year run as Captain America, but he’s left the shield behind plenty of times — like when he played a spoiled jerk in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out, or that time he led a locomotive revolution in Bong Joon Ho’s Snowpiercer, or when he skateboarded his way out of Ramona Flowers’s heart in Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

You can also catch him in the films on Netflix below, in which he plays a seedy pharmaceutical rep, a mustachioed killer, a spy, and more.

The Gray Man

Evans and Ryan Gosling (Barbie) go head-to-head in this action thriller from directors Anthony and Joe Russo (Avengers: Endgame). Based on the first book in author Mark Greaney’s Gray Man series, the film follows the CIA’s most skilled mercenary, Sierra Six (Gosling), aka the Gray Man, who uncovers dark secrets about his superiors and must flee a global manhunt led by his former colleague, the mercenary Lloyd Hansen (Evans). Ana de Armas (Knives Out), Billy Bob Thornton (Landman), Jessica Henwick (Love and Monsters), Regé-Jean Page (Black Bag), and Alfre Woodard (Primal Fear) co-star.

Pain Hustlers

This black comedy from director David Yates (the Harry Potter series) is based on a true story that’s stranger than fiction. It stars Evans as a pharmaceutical sales rep, Pete Brenner, who helps blue-collar single mom Liza Drake (Emily Blunt) get a job at a sketchy startup. Liza starts raking in the big bucks, and things seem to be going well — until her daughter’s (Chloe Coleman) medical condition worsens, her unhinged boss (Andy Garcia) grows more insufferable, and she becomes aware of the devastation the company is causing.
