Cape Town – Chris Evans might not have the Captain America shield in his latest movie, but he's still a hero.
In Gifted, he plays Frank Adler a single man raising a child prodigy – his young niece Mary (Mckenna Grace).
He plans for Mary to have a normal school life but her mathematical abilities come to the attention of his formidable mother Evelyn (Lindsay Duncan) who threatens to separate Frank and Mary.
