"A video of actor Chris Evans asking members of US Congress to participate in his to-be-launched political website leaked to CNN, spoiling the breadth of his formerly secret project. \nSEE ALSO: Teens drop eloquent climate change testimony on Congress\nAs reported by CNN, the video shows Evans meeting with congresspeople, including Senators Cory Booker and Amy Klobuchar, and encouraging them to answer questions about prescient political issues on camera. \nIn the video, Evans says he intends for the website, \"A Starting Point,\" to be a \"civic engagement project\" that allows people to better understand the Democratic and Republican arguments for current issues affecting the country. Participating congresspeople are given a list of questions and subsequently interviewed on-camera by Evans, who asks in the video that participants keep their individual answers \"around a minute\" in length and to provide links for further information on each issue. \nA few hours after the video leaked, Evans confirmed on Twitter that the \"cat's outta the bag\" on the project and thanked those who had already submitted video for \"A Starting Point.\"\n\nGuess the cat’s outta the bag :)Thank you to everyone who has already participated!! https://t.co/yj5FrmlWFr\n— Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) April 6, 2019\n\nAs of now, there is no further information on how many members on Congress have worked with Evans or when the website is expected to launch. \n\nWATCH: In honor of 'Infinity War,' Chris Evans has blessed the internet with these BTS clips\n\n{\"player\":{\"description\":\"Captain, oh, Captain.\",\"image\":\"https://mondrian.mashable.com/cms%252F2018%252F4%252F3655e137-f4b6-eaef%252Fthumb%252F00001.jpg%252F930x520.jpg?signature=JktY8nsFUE6vhqALYMxFhF6RUjM=&source=https%3A%2F%2Fvdist.aws.mashable.com\",\"mediaid\":\"Qml4bYZO0q\",\"preload\":false,\"title\":\"In honor of 'Infinity War,' Chris Evans has blessed the internet with these BTS clips\",\"sources\":[{\"file\":\"https://vdist.aws.mashable.com/cms/2018/4/3655e137-f4b6-eaef/hls.m3u8\"},{\"file\":\"https://vdist.aws.mashable.com/cms/2018/4/3655e137-f4b6-eaef/dash.mpd\"},{\"file\":\"https://vdist.aws.mashable.com/cms/2018/4/3655e137-f4b6-eaef/mp4/1080.mp4\"},{\"file\":\"https://vdist.aws.mashable.com/cms/2018/4/3655e137-f4b6-eaef/mp4/720.mp4\"},{\"file\":\"https://vdist.aws.mashable.com/cms/2018/4/3655e137-f4b6-eaef/mp4/480.mp4\"}],\"player_id\":\"WmgvXppl\"},\"options\":{\"disableAds\":false,\"disableSharing\":false,\"nextupAction\":\"autoplay\",\"embedUrl\":\"https://mashable.com/videos/blueprint:Qml4bYZO0q/embed/?player=offsite\",\"standaloneUrl\":null,\"post\":{}},\"advertising\":{\"params\":{\"keywords\":\"watercooler,entertainment,twitter,video,mashable-video,avengers,social media,fight,twitter reactions,superheroes,scenes,stunt,superhero,chris evans,stunts,workout,fighting,real-time,training,real-time video,real time,real-time-video,real time video,stuntman,avengers: infinity war,infinity war,stunt doubles,fight scenes\",\"sec0\":null,\"sec1\":\"\",\"prc\":\"\"}},\"analytics\":{\"labels\":\"watercooler,entertainment,twitter,video,mashable-video,avengers,social media,fight,twitter reactions,superheroes,scenes,stunt,superhero,chris evans,stunts,workout,fighting,real-time,training,real-time video,real time,real-time-video,real time video,stuntman,avengers: infinity war,infinity war,stunt doubles,fight scenes\",\"videoSeriesName\":null}}\n\n      window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { window._msla=window.loadScriptAsync||function(src,id){if(document.getElementById(id))return;var js=document.createElement('script');js.id=id;js.src=src;document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);};});\nwindow.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { _msla(\"https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\",\"twitter_jssdk\");});"
