It was a couple years ago and I got a text from Ryan [Reynolds], we're buddies. He just said, 'Listen, if you don't like this idea, no worries whatsoever. But I have something that could really bring the house down and would let you play a character from your past.' I mean, honestly, I would do anything Ryan asked," Evans says. "He gave me a great cameo in Free Guy already, and I just trust him completely. So the chance to be Johnny again, I couldn't pass up. I loved it. It was fun to shoot, fun to watch, all of it. Ryan was like, 'Listen, if we need cue cards…' and I was like, 'Cue cards? I'm showing up off-book,' I don't get to say dialogue like this. Trust me. I'm going to enjoy every second of this.
