Chris Evans is offering the opportunity of a lifetime — a lucky winner can be his date at the premiere of Netflix’s most expensive feature yet, the upcoming thriller The Gray Man. In the movie, Evans departs from his usual heroics to play a psychopath hunting down a former colleague. The 40-year-old actor has partnered with Omaze for a charity sweepstakes contest in which the winner and a guest “will receive access to attend the upcoming premiere of The Gray Man, walk the red carpet and snap a photo with Chris Evans,” according to the official contest rules.
The contest was announced on the Omaze.com website under the title “Be Chris Evans’ VIP Guest at the Premiere of The Gray Man.” Images of Evans wearing a baseball cap holding cards that read, “Be my VIP guest.” “Want to see a movie with me? and “Join me on the red carpet!” are posted on the organization’s website, Twitter and Instagram accounts.
Evans is raising funds for the charity Christopher’s Haven, which offers temporary, low-cost housing for child cancer patients and their families while receiving treatment away from their homes at Boston hospitals, his native hometown.

“The Gray Man is CIA operative Court Gentry (Gosling), a.k.a., Sierra Six. Plucked from a federal penitentiary and recruited by his handler, Donald Fitzroy (Billy Bob Thornton), Gentry was once a highly skilled, Agency-sanctioned merchant of death. But now the tables have turned and Six is the target, hunted across the globe by Lloyd Hansen (Evans), a former cohort at the CIA, who will stop at nothing to take him out. Agent Dani Miranda (de Armas) has his back. He’ll need it.”
