Chris Evans assembles the Avengers for coronavirus relief

2020 has been a fascinating year for watching celebrities figure out, in painfully obvious real-time, exactly how much worth their star power has in a world without anything to actually star in. From genuine, life-saving charity efforts, to acts of near-literal communion, to the soul-sucking spectacle of the Twitter sing-a-long, famous culture has run the gamut of responses to the current crisis, all fueled—presumably—by a shared belief that they oughtta be doing something, right?
As usual, Marvel star Chris Evans seems to be handling this challenge better than most: The Avengers star joined Instagram last night to accept fellow Chris Chris Pratt’s All-In Challenge, an effort by a wide variety of actors, athletes, and other celebs to raise money for organizations providing food to people affected by the COVID-19 crisis. (Feeding America, Meals On Wheels, World Central Kitchen, and No Kid Hungry have all been named as recipients of the foundation’s efforts.) And while Evans was, himself, forced to admit that he couldn’t match Pratt’s offer to get a lucky donor eaten by a dinosaur in a Jurassic Park movie, he did have an even more potent force to call upon than digital lizards: The power of friendship. Extremely rich, famous, and cinematic friendship.
