It seems that Chris Evans was not supposed to present at the Oscars on Sunday.
He showed up — asked at the last minute ALLEGEDLY — to present one of the night’s themed hero packages about superhero films, because Andrew Garfield, AKA Spiderman, pulled out that day.
Now, Garfield is saying that he pulled out at the last minute because his girlfriend, Emma Stone, had a “longstanding family commitment” in Arizona. Now that seems kind of odd, because if it really was a longstanding commitment, why agree to appear at the Oscars at all?
Here’s the ALLEGEDLY real story:
Garfield was supposed to take the stage with Miles Scott — AKA Batkid after the city of San Francisco let him play superhero there — after the Academy y of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences made arrangements with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, to have Spiderman induct Batkid into the Superhero club.
Then in the middle of rehearsal, with Batkid, Garfield decided he didn’t like his lines; he refused to go by the scrip and came up with his own lines. The producers felt the rewrites were not appropriate and ALLEGEDLY had a tantrum, stormed off and left Miles and his family shocked. The producers decided to cut the superhero initiation, but they paid for Miles to go to Disneyland.
If it’s true, I bet Batkid had a better time at Disney, and Captain America was a lot hotter to look at than Spiderman.
