The 32-year-old actor is set to both helm and star in '1:30 Train', about two strangers who meet in Manhattan and spend one night together, reported Deadline.
Evans is keen to finish production on the project before this autumn, when he will be reprising his role as shield-wielding crusader Captain America in 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron', Joss Whedon's sequel to the 2012 Marvel blockbuster.
'1:30 Train' was scripted by Ron Bass, and will be produced by Mark Kassen, Howard and Karen Baldwin, Bill Immerman, and Wonderland Sound And Vision's McG and Mary Viola.
