The Super Bowl is not just for sports fans, even superheroes are fighting over who will win the big game between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks in Glendale, Ariz., on Feb. 1.

Chris Evans (Captain America) and Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), stars of Hollywood’s highest-grossing action films this year, engaged in a Twitter smackdown this week that resulted in a friendly wager being placed on the Super Bowl.
Evans, a longtime Patriots fan, trolled Pratt on Twitter after New England advanced to the Super Bowl to face the Seahawks, the Guardians of the Galaxy actor’s favorite team:
Well, well, well @prattprattpratt, looks like our teams are going into battle. For the next 2 weeks, you are not my friend, you are my enemy
— Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) January 19, 2015 Pratt fired back, and the battle was on:
@ChrisEvans We both know there's only one Captain America and his name is Russell Wilson. #SuperBowlBound #LOB #Repeat
— chris pratt (@prattprattpratt) January 19, 2015 Eventually the two actors agreed to place a charitable bet on the game. Star-Lord set the stakes high:
@ChrisEvans OK. Seahawks win you fly yourself to Seattle, visit @seattlechildren hospital as Captain America, waving the 12th man flag.
— chris pratt (@prattprattpratt) January 21, 2015 Like any good soldier, Captain America accepted the terms and countered:
@prattprattpratt I accept. And when the Patriots humiliate your seachickens, I expect Star-Lord to arrive at @chris_haven in a Brady jersey
— Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) January 21, 2015 No pressure on the Seahawks or Patriots, but there is suddenly a ton more at stake in the Super Bowl.
