Actor Chris Evans blasted a video to members of Congress late Friday night offering new clues about his secret, non-partisan civic engagement project, which he is calling "A Starting Point."

The star best known as "Captain America" in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been spotted roaming the halls of the Capitol and popping up on the Twitter feed of politicians like California Rep. Eric Swalwell -- creating rumors about his new project.

Evans' video invitation to Congressional members from both parties, which was obtained by CNN, asks them to participate in interviews for a civic engagement website that will be aimed at reducing partisanship and promoting respectful discourse.
