"I have to get off this planet!" Chris Evans, Taika Waititi on Lightyear and 'quoting' Thor Ragnarok

Chris Evans and Taika Waititi sat down with Radio 1's Film Critic Ali Plumb to talk up Disney Pixar's latest, Lightyear, but somehow ended up chatting about Thor Ragnarok quotes, memorable directors' notes, forgetting old friends' names and - what with it being Chris's birthday at the time of recording and all - Twitter's favourite photos of The Man Formerly Known As Captain America. Let us know what movie quotes you use in your everyday life in the comments below!

7:54 the fact that Taika realizes what Chris is gonna say and do, and how he does the same interpretation is sooo funny! It's really something universal in the world of directors 😆

[@medianeroma75]

😂😂😂

[@tsthinker1318]

Yeah 😄😂

[@AbbaZabbaOlyFrn]

Taika Waititi's charm can only go so far, dude needs to dial it back 🙄

[@drnaldo07]

😂 I loved the fact that Chris mentioned the pool of Chris' and how they get confused for each other. Pine just needs to join the MCU now to complete the set. Pine, Pratt, Hemsworth and Evans

[@train123z]

Pine played Spider-Man in Spiderverse. Not MCU but close

[@S0NAL_]

now there's even Christian Bale (not exactly a Chris, but close)

The fact that Chris Evans quotes "Eat shit" from Knives Out gives me another reason to live.

Ali Plumb is THE BEST interviewer. Not only is he genuine and hilarious but he comes off as so comfortable with some of the biggest celebs right now (not always the case in interviews). He asks great questions rather than the same stuff we always hear. Love him!!!

[@splashmorales1886]

Completely agree! He’s an amazing interviewer.

[@jamirasingss6518]

[@domino6264]

I need a video compilation of Taika's interviews where he was saying he doesn't remember anything from his past works after he finishes it lmao

[@skyletha7965]

The SECOND I heard Ali Plumb's voice, I knew this would be a fantastic interview! He brings out such a good energy in the actors, always adore his interviews!

[@stormtraitor6545]

Hiring Ali Plumb is the best thing that BBC has ever done!

[@jackmessent3490]

Ali Plumb is just fantastic! These interviews are always entertaining! I'm definitely going to have to check out Lightyear.

[@cable7152]

He is literally the best, and every celebrity loves doing interviews with him.

[@jaycuthbert245]

He's the ultimate example, bench mark and definition of what a people person is. Wonderful confidence and can speak to ANYONE all the way from top to bottom of the person's personality spectrum

[@believeinmatter]

Every time i see him in an interview or something, I’m more & more convinced Taika Waititi is one of the funniest people to ever exist

[@cherijoseph7819]

I followed Taika on twitter before I knew he was a director. He was just that funny.

He’s actually a huge Disney fan himself.

[@LILGHETTI]

Love these guys! Chris Evans is always smiling and happy, it's always refreshing to see him! Good job Ali!

[@Carlos.Rivera]

He got paid to do so

[@scsutton1]

No matter what the film or series is, I always look forward to Ali's interviews.

[@willienelsongonzalez4609]

I love the fact that both Chris and Taika met whilst they were part of the Marvel universe and they get to work on a Disney/Pixar film. It’s not lost on me that Disney owns Marvel but Chris is a good actor and Taika is just exquisitely talented!

[@peterskorec8246]

As Steve Rogers would say: “Language!” 😂 also once again, a great video! Great interview. Ali Rocks!

[@jakebaker4066]

Honestly, Chris is a really good young Tim Allen voice. Totally fine.

[@angelspit]

Taika is so checked out and I'm here for it lmao

[@divineop9818]

Taika waititi sounds like his voice is putting him to sleep.HAHAHA

[@EricLing64]

As I recall they usually have to do a lot of press for each movie released, so they will be tired from going from place to place. Jetlagged even. He might indeed be quite tired, but not related to the questions.

[@folarinosibodu]

I...loved...this. This made me happy. The chemistry among all three is so genuine and palpable.

[@CorinaStadler]

Great to see Chris Evans doing this media tour with Taika for Lightyear, big fan of both guys 👏😊

[@tumadre88]

eight seconds in and you know i am so glad to see its ali doing this interview! i dont think a room has ever been filled so well ever.

[@angelinamejia6810]

I was so excited when I found out that the press tour was going to London because I knew they'd have to do an Ali interview and this was so good.

[@azharnayeem9236]

I watch these interviews for Ali and not for the celebrities. The way he handles the celebrities and geeks out is entertaining and fun to watch.

[@fantasylovemagic]

1:36 was it Taika's face that was intimidating? His look is scary here 😂❤️

[@blah__]

i love them all so much

[@ArtCine01]

Your interviews so good

[@spiralations7304]

It's weird to see Taika outside of his optimal social dynamic

[@maryloubisou]

what would you say is his optimal social dynamic? :D

[@johnulcer]

This interviewer usually gets good rapport going, but I felt like neither of them were in the mood to match his energy here lol. Taika seems surprisingly miserable tbh. It was funny how the interviewer said he quotes movies in his everyday life and then Chris Evans basically insulted people who quote movies and thinks they should rethink their lives. 😂HARSH!

[@shumayelkhan8154]

Felt the same way! They both bring out something in each other

[@redjc99]

They did say that it was early. So they could have still been tired. Plus they most likely had to travel there, and may not have gotten much sleep from that. I also don't think Chris was being seriously about that. He did admit that he quotes The Office. So he was being harsh on himself, too,

[@annad6280]

I know I've seen at least one other interview that mentions it being Chris's birthday so who knows how many they had to do that day.

[@auggie1.0]

@@annad6280 who doesn’t like being wished happy birthday 🤣

[@DreamingOfInnocence]

I want Ali to interview Taika for everything always.

[@fictionmyth]

I always look forward to a Plumb interview. I know how much it must stink to be in the position where you've interviewed the same people a half dozen or more times, not that you don't enjoy talking to them but now have to think up new interesting and engaging questions (for both the actors and the KZbin viewer) each time, and you can't talk about the movie in any meaningful way aaand... GO! It's one of those things I've seen people complain about, "He didn't even talk about the movie!" without understanding what they're complaining about. Yeah, if he didn't it's because he basically can't. Everything we know about the movie is in the trailer at this point and the actors can't elaborate on anything that happens outside of those moments. So, he has to be charming, which he is, has to be funny, which he is, has to be kind and respectful to the actors, which he is, and make something to entertain us out of it in the end... which, we're here aren't we? So, I appreciate the effort you put into these Ali. You do a great job and your interviews are some of my favorite comfort entertainment. I'll binge the Marvel interviews, or check out something else that you've done for a couple hours. It's never a bad time.

[@holbvgbbbbkfz]

Jesus man that's long

[@momogi618]

not to mention the actor probably had like ten different interview about the movie at the same day so you had the risk of asking the same question lol

[@kacieford2538]

We need a Taika/Chris Evans Captain America movie👀

Can't wait for this film

Im still kinda surprised the movie umderperformed.. I loved it.. I didnt expect a toystory movie.. I just expected a movie about an astronaut called Buzz Lightyear who took his job a bit too seriously.. And the movie totally delivers..

On a scale of Buzzed to Lightyears, how hungover do we think Chris Evans was during this interview? (Or maybe he's just tired; they did mention that it's early.)
