Chris Evans is yet to completely leave the shadow of his MCU superhero. And it looks like he hints at him in his new film.

What Connects Lloyd Hansen and Tony Stark Except Great Facial Hair? FIND Out How Chris Evans Calls Back to His MCU Roots

Following the release of Avengers: Endgame, Chris Evans hung up his shield and
announced his retirement from the role of Captain America. After nearly a decade
as Steve Rogers, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has gone on without him.
Meanwhile Evans has moved on to jobs that broaden his range. Evans’ most notable
shift from Captain America comes in the forthcoming Netflix film The Gray Man.

In the film, he plays a joyfully insane assassin. Lloyd Hansen’s function is the
total opposite of Rogers’

But that doesn’t imply Evans has completely abandoned the MCU. A twisted MCU
reference was still there in the trailer.

Let us find out where it was.


CHRIS EVANS GIVES A SUBTLE NOD TO MCU IN THE GRAY MAN TRAILER

In the middle of a trailer showcasing Hansen’s devastation, he riffs on an
ancient proverb, noting that “if you wanna make an omelet, you gotta kill some
people.”  



While it appears to be a standard bit of evil talk from an over-the-top action
film, it also establishes who Ryan Gosling
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ryan-gosling/]‘s Court Gentry is up against,
beyond the causalities Hansen commits, in the trailer. But it also links to what
Tony Stark also said in the MCU.

Civil War, Tony Stark used a variation of the statement. Stark closed a
graduating speech at MIT with the remark, “go break some eggs,” after revealing
that he’d completely financed every student’s project with the
no-strings-attached September Foundation Grant.

ALSO IN AGE OF ULTRON

In Avengers: Age of Ultron, the line was likewise transformed in a memorable
way. Thor interrupts some conversation between Ultron and his “father,” Iron
Man, in an early battle.

Thor assures Ultron that he doesn’t have to break anything after Ultron warns
Iron Man that he’ll break his heart if he needs to.  “Clearly, you’ve never made
an omelet,” Ultron responds.

Iron Man jokes that Ultron outpaced him by one second, demonstrating that the
evil AI inherited his “father’s” wit.

is certainly a funny thing. In fact, his while character in the film has a bit
of humor, as seen in the trailer. That’s why this reference does make people
chuckle.
