(CNN) 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.

His idea for the website came from his own search for a straightforward source of information on the issues without any spin: "I just thought, 'Why isn't there a place I can go to hear both sides of an issue in a succinct way that I can trust?'" the actor notes in his video.

"It's a one-stop shop for simple digestable information from people who know best," Evans explains in the video. He tells members that he will send them a list of questions covering dozens of issues, and that he will allow them to choose the questions they want to answer and then attach two or three links that the members provide for viewers to do further research.
