Chris Evans is looking forward to a fantastic four months of summer with Alba Baptista

The Captain America alum provided a glimpse into his marriage with the Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris actress, revealing that the couple want to keep it low-key as the warmer weather rolls in. 

"We're laying low," Chris told E! News in an exclusive interview at the New York premiere of his new movie Materialists. "We're enjoying our time, just relaxing."

"It's incredible," Chris said. "It's wonderful." (For more from Chris, tune into E! News on Monday, June 9, at 11 p.m.)

Chris Evans' Dating History

For Chris, stepping into his role as John in the romantic comedy was a no-brainer, considering the story was written by Oscar nominee Celine Song

"Celine has a way of writing things that are not just deeply personal, but really powerful, especially in their simplicity," the actor explained. "Celine has a way of showing that it doesn't have to have a lot of bells and whistles to kind of be profound and be meaningful."

And while he noted that he "loves rom-coms," Chris also hinted that the film diverges a bit from the genre's usual formula. 

"This is kind of a rom-com drama, you know what I mean?" he quipped. "There's more depth to it."

He added, "Most rom-coms have this very idealistic version of what love is, or what it should be, and this has a little bit more of an authentic, grounded feeling, a little less naive, because real love is messy and complicated."
