According to Deadline, early negotiations are currently being conducted to lock down Chris Evans for the role of Dentist Orin Scrivello in the Warner Bros. remake of Little Shop of Horrors. Deadline's Anthony D'Alessandro also added some other names rumored to be involved with the project, including Taron Egerton, Billy Porter (who's already signed on), and Evans' fellow Avengers member, Scarlett Johansson. 

In the 1986 version of the musical, Scrivello was played by Steve Martin. As for the character's traits, like most dentists, those involve violence, abuse, sadism, and an addiction to nitrous-oxide. All perfect for a comedy.
