Fox Searchlight has released the first trailer for Gifted, a family drama that finds Chris Evans ready to prove he's more than just Captain America.

The film, which hails from director Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man), casts Evans as the uncle of a child prodigy (Mckenna Grace). He wants his niece to have a normal school life, but his mother's plans for the girl threaten to keep them apart.

This is the movie where Evans fell for his real-life girlfriend (and fellow Massachusetts native) Jenny Slate, who plays the girl's teacher. Watch the sparks fly when the film opens on April 12, 2017.
