Evans added, "Other than the fact that we're dealing with people with extraordinary abilities, I really didn't see too many similarities and there are certainly are no similarities in the character.

"Johnny Storm is in love with the attention and the spotlight, and he's very confident, and very self assured and cannot wait to use his powers. Nick is a character who is on-the-run in hiding, insecure and would just as soon shed his powers if he could." Evans did not discuss any future plans.
Beautiful young actress Camilla Belle may not strike viewers as the type to take on a role in an action film, but she thoroughly enjoyed working on the set of Push.

She said, "I have to say, I have so much fun doing action films. There are a couple of big fight scenes and shooting guns and running around. And I got a lot of bruises and cuts and whatnot." When asked if she would take on another action film, she replied "yes" with marked enthusiasm.
Both Camilla Belle and Chris Evans enjoyed working with talented young actor Dakota Fanning, whom they both agree is well beyond her years. Evans claims that she has the "vocabulary of a 35 year old." Camilla's opinion of the young starlet is certainly positive as well.

"I just adored working with her, and we became really close too, and I think we really bonded over the fact that we've been working our whole lives and kind of learned on the job. And I would have to keep reminding myself when we go out to dinner and stuff that I was having dinner with a 13-year-old. And that she wasn't my age, you know."

One may even go so far as to say that Fanning boasts the strongest resume out of any of the other cast members, and her inclusion in the film bolsters the film's marketability.

These days, with the economy the way it is, going to see a movie may be considered more difficult for some than in previous years. One student asked Evans why college students should go to see any movie, let alone his own film, Push.

Evans replied, "Well I think movies in general are pretty cheap dates for the most part. I think that's why movies-hopefully ( I should knock on wood), hopefully movies will stay recession-proof. I still think you know, soda and popcorn is still a relatively cheap night."

So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Nobody can object to a cheap date tastefully done, and I'm sure you guys out there will appreciate the fact that you aren't being dragged to some torturous chick flick on Valentine's Day, although that is likely to occur anyway.
