McDonough: 'Evans great in Captain role'

Neal McDonough has claimed that Chris Evans is a "great" Captain America.

McDonough, who co-stars with Evans in the Marvel comic adaptation, has insisted that it was a pleasure working with the young actor and that he admired Evans's dedication to the role.

He told Bang Showbiz: "He's great in the role, a great guy, he's one of the people I'd love to work with every day. He's going to be someone you're going to be watching for a very long time. He's so dedicated to his craft, he works really hard."

McDonough also revealed that he had enjoyed being part of the cast of the film, adding: "I'm happy as I could possibly be to be a part of Captain America. For an actor it's fantastic - for me as a kid, Captain America was one of my favourites - so to be Dum Dum it's just been a blast. I'm having a great old time killing the bad guys."

Captain America: The First Avenger arrives in cinemas in July 2011.
