This totally happened….
Not for lack of trying, because it totally would have been this, had I had any say…
I may not have gotten to marry Captain America (Chris Evans), but I did get to go on set with Chris Evans while he filmed Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I even had the chance to watch a scene being filmed…the first 30 seconds of this trailer, to be exact:
Wait, let me stop right there, to let that sink in. I was on the lot of a MARVEL movie, where Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), and Frank Grillo were filming! Watching them while they were in the Quinjet (how’s that for geeky fan-girl knowledge for ya). I was in the room, where this was happening, only feet away…oh did I mention I got to go in the Quinjet…because I totally did. It was the stuff fan-girl dreams are made of!
Not only did we get to visit on set, we got to visit with Chris, himself! So, yes, that really is him in the photo above, with me, wearing the exact suit you see in his photo with Scarlett! He was super nice and so funny. Here’s our group photo with him…I totally, accidentally, of course, touched his butt when we took this. Only because he was so tall, when I went to put my arm around him, it just happened.
I still die a little when I see this and realize…I was on a movie set!! It’s one step away from being in a movie itself, right? To be on set, was nothing other than AMAZING. There is so much work that goes into making a movie. As I said, we just saw the one scene being filmed, and the amount of times they had to repeat the scene, was insane. At times I thought “Oh, they nailed it“, they would say “Great job” and then “Okay roll again“. I never really thought about how much work goes into the movie for the actors, and it’s a ton!!!
Hearing “Quiet On The Set” is such a surreal moment! There was really so much happening. Cords galore, lots of technology…though we had to turn our phones off of course and actors working hard! We even got to chat with Frank Grillo, who was so funny!!!
As viewers, we see the finished product, sometimes we (or at least speaking for myself) don’t think about how much goes into making a movie. Everything from the actors, to the producers, directors, prop masters, the sets, and so much more goes into making movies. Going on set, was truly a dream I didn’t know I had, until I experienced it. I can’t thank Marshall, Disney, and Marvel enough for allowing me such an unbelievable experience. I’ll never forget a minute of it as long as I live, and my boys think I am THE coolest mom now! How many other parents can tell their kids they got to hang with Captain America!
While, my adventure didn’t end on a wedding aisle, I have no doubt it will end in something like this….
You know, me accompanying Chris Evans on the red carpet. I figure after the accidental butt touching, we are BFF’s and he will want a bestie to walk the red carpet with! Or at least ask me to be his sidekick…
Captain America: The Winter Soldier hits theaters 4/4/14, you can go ahead and get your advanced tickets on Fandango! You know I’ll be there, will you??
**Thank you to Disney and Marvel for allowing me this amazing experience. While expenses were paid, my opinions are truly my honest views. All on set photos provided by Marvel**

LOL you are so funny! I would LOVE to visit an actual set while they are screening that would be SOOOO cool!
How are you ever going to top THAT experience?!
First off, how cool and what a fun experience! The face in hole is totally great, you look great in every hole!
You’re so funny. Love the funny photos. I get to meet Chris in less than a week. I hope I can get closet him and touch him behind and be like “I’m sorry, not sorry”! Thanks for the behind the scenes look at Cap America. Can’t wait to watch this next week in LA.
My husband is a casting director, so I’m lucky to have been on lots of sets – it’s very quiet, and a bunch of “hurry up and wait”, which I don’t like at all. I would have loved to meet Chris Evans, but my heartthrob is Chris Hemsworth! 🙂
I am so jealous that you met Captain America! I love your ‘face in the hole’ photos too, those are hilarious. What an experience to be on set, AND meet him!!
I cannot wait to go see this movie – we’ve been waiting!
He is a very handsome man! What an awesome experience this was. I am super jealous.
You are too funny! I love all your images! We had a blast during this Disney event…It was great meeiting you, hopefully we get to meet again!!!
WOW what a hunk he is! I bet this is an experience that will be awfully hard to forget. Why would you want to!? I’m really looking forward to the movie and enjoyed the back scene sneak peek!
WOW, this is awesome! I agree with TerriAnn, how are you ever going to top that? Sounds like an amazing experience I think we’d all love to have, especially meeting Chris Evans. Can’t wait to see this movie!

I am SO jealous!! LOL!! Seriously though! I LOVE the Avengers! How cool to get to go on set!!
Sounds like you had a blast. I loved the pix with the green screens in them, those things are huge!
Oh heck…I love all of your Face in a Hole photos! And you actually touched his butt??? Shameless. haha. Only kidding. I’m jealous! My husband and I are both dying to see this movie!
That must have been a blast! I’ve never seen the Captain America movies, but I loved him in the Avengers!
First of all you are hilariously awesome. Secondly, what a cool experience, thanks for sharing, can’t wait to see the movie.

What a fun time!! How cool to watch this being filmed. Love the pics being “edited”
Nice! The butt graze wasn’t completely unintentional, right? 😉 It sounds like you had an amazing experience on the set. I’d love to watch the action behind the scenes one day.
That’s so totally awesome! How fun!
I’m so looking forward to seeing this when it comes out.:)
Ha ha! You make such a cute couple! Love seeing all the behind-the-scenes photos… especially the green screen one. It’s amazing to think about all the work that goes into these big blockbusters!
That is so awesome that you got to be on set! I have only seen The Avengers out of all the movies.
What a special visit and to have photos taken and all is wonderful… Great for the memory bank.
How fun is that?! Both the plugging your face in the picture and visiting the set. I’d love to visit a movie set one day 🙂
You are too funny Toni and I love your edited photos!
Never thought I would be the type to get starstruck, but this would be so cool. Looks like you had fun. I take it you’ll never wash that shoulder again :D.
What a great experience you had! I’m really looking forward to seeing the movie!
So funny! I love all the photos! 🙂 I’m just a wee bit jealous, too. 😉
You have just been cracking me up with your “self-imposed” image alterations…lol
Lol, it sounds like everything was fine until you touched his butt, then all went out the window!! Admit it, you meant to! BFF? BTF? Butt Touching Friends?
