Luke Evans

UKE EVANS IS CLOSING OUT 2022 WITH NOT ONE, NOT TWO, BUT THREE big projects coming out. “All avenues are being covered this year.” First there was his nearly unrecognizable turn as the Coachman in Disney’s live-action remake back in September. Next he plays a on Apple TV+ (November 23). “It’s a really sweeping story.” And finally, he’ll voice Ebenezer Scrooge in the animated musical (December 2). “I’ve got an album coming out, too” [ November 4]. OK, make that four big projects. “For me, it’s a joy to be able to be given those platforms to present my abilities. I relish every time I get a chance to do something different. I’m in this business to learn.” Despite his movie-star good looks, Evans is eager to be challenged, and his diverse roles in 2022 show that. “I am playing leading men in many things coming up, but I’m not scared of not taking that role and doing something that will challenge me and thrill the audience as well.”
