Channel24 investigates: It looks like Chris Evans sneaked into South Africa without telling us

Cape Town - Get ready because this might be the most important thing you read today. It seems like Hollywood hunk Chris Evans secretly sneaked into South Africa and didn't let us know. We first caught wind of Captain America's presence on our soil via the grapevine and we knew what had to be done.

The film starring Evans, Haley Bennett, Alessandro Nivola and Sir Ben Kingsley is the incredible story of a group of Mossad agents and brave Ethiopians who in the early 1980s used a deserted holiday retreat in Sudan as a front to smuggle thousands of refugees to Israel.

Chris plays Ari Kidron, the Mossad agent who leads the mission together with courageous local Kabede Bimro, played by Michael Kenneth Williams. The cast also includes Michiel Huisman, Chris Chalk and Greg Kinnear.

The Red Sea Diving Resort is a BRON Studios, Emjag, G.Raff Productions film in association with Creative Wealth Media. Netflix will release the film later this year.
