UPDATE: THR's Heat Vision is reporting exclusively that Chris Evans has been offered the role of Steve Rogers aka Captain America. Marvel nor the actor's reps have commented on the news as of yet. They also mention that Evans did not screen test but the fact that he already has a relationship with Marvel because of FANTASTIC FOUR is helpful. You guys know he'll take this if what we're hearing is true.

Yesterday, someone made the comment that we didn't get any Captain America casting news.

Well I've got some for ya today buddy, and I'm sorry but Gary Coleman has not been approached for the role yet.

According to IESB, it's down to three actors: Chris Evans, Channing Tatum, and Sebastian Stan. Now, we all know who Evans and Tatum are, but I had no clue who Stan was. He's on that vapid whore show, GOSSIP GIRL. Another question, since when did it go from castmate Chance Crawford to Stan? Apparently he's in the running now.

Alex Ross, an illustrator well known for his great comic work drawing iconic characters like Superman, Batman, and even Cap gave his own opinion on who should be cast, "We've been saying for years, if you don't sign Jon Hamm to play this part, you're crazy. Captain America is supposed to be the patriarch of the Marvel universe. To get a guy in his early to mid-20s is only thinking about where the character began, not what he ultimately needs to become."

Hamm is a choice I can get behind, but that's about as likely as when we were wanting Nathan Fillion to play Green Lantern. He was hilarious as Lex Luthor as evidenced below.

Extra Tidbit: If I have to choose between these three, I'm definitely going with Evans.

Hamm obviously would be a perfect choice but very unlikely. On the other hand, he can be a perfect superman for the next installement coming don't you think?

Hamm...
Hamm is definitely a presence to be reckoned with on screen. In Mad Men he's always serious and intense, and that's just how I see Cap.



If Hamm is in the running, then NO to Evans and the other shirtless wonders above.

Get to The Avengers already!
As much as I'm looking forward to seeing Johnston back in Rocketeer territory, and even though I like Evans as an actor, I agree with Ross on this one.

Besides which, I just want to see Iron Man fight Hulk, so I'm a lot more interested in the Avengers film.

But how about Jude Law for Captain America. I know he's not American, but I know he could do it. AND he's proven he can hold up on his own against RDJ...AND he can pull off being a believable badass. Takers?

Evans good choice
I am reading a lot of these comments that Evans is too goofy/quirky and not serious enough for what you envision the character to be. This is not he Fantastic Four, he is not going to a playboy dumbass. Watch Sunshine and realize that he can rock out with this.

I really should since Cap is my favorite superhero but if it takes them this long to find an actor to play Cap it makes me concerned about the quality of the end product as a whole.

Dont Like Evans...
...he's too quirky. Never liked the guy. I get the feeling that Marvel don't really understand how the Cap should be portrayed (the irony!). Good choices would be Jon Hamm or Chris Pine. At one point I was even thinking Gerard Butler. Can't say I wouldn't still be happy if he were cast.

Cap's age
It's funny people mention the age problem, because really Iron Man is one of the youngest (besides the Hulk) main Avengers. But Thor looks younger because he is a "god" and maintains youth over hundreds of years and Captain America was what, in his mid twenties during world war two, but ages much slower because of the super soldier serum. Just takes suspension of disbelief and good acting to...

oh and Chris Evans for the Captain, and no one should be worried with him playing two characters in the same universe...didnt you see the alternate ending to F42 when the torch died in a freak skateboarding accident while listening to Linkin Park?? :)

Not Good Choices...
Though Sebastian Stan was pretty good on the criminally underrated and tragically canceled NBC drama KINGS, so he wouldn't be THAT bad of a choice and neither would Evans. Tatum would be an abortion. But either way, if this is seriously the best they could do, I really am scared about the future of this project...

Maaat Damon is the best suggestion I've seen on these boards. I like Chris Evans, but Cap needs to be a leader of men and potentially hold the screen alongside Downey without it becoming a comedy show. Believe it or not Hollywood, but young people aren't gonna run screaming from theatres if you populate a great movie with more 'mature' role models and heroes.

It's getting to where I don't even give a crap who they cast, as long as they just do it already. Joe Johnston, Casting Director, stop wasting time if you guys are trying to have this out by Summer 2011. Pick your actor and let's finally move on. Sick of this shit now.

I wanna know who the casting director is.
Alex Ross is right on the money in that quote. This whole thing with a younger dude playing Cap is going to basically make Iron Man/Tony Stark/RDJ the patriarchal figure in the Avengers film. Which pretty much is how the movie Avengers differ from the comic books version.

I'll beleive it when he signs and Marvel announces. I read somewhere he's supposed to film a chick flick this summer and it could conflict. Everyone bitching out there needs to accept the fact that it came down to him and Channing Tatum or this Sebastion kid that looks kinda alot like a wuss. Hopefully they're making the right choice. long live the Cap.

Chris Evans isn't right at all! He's a Ryan Reynolds type of actor: he's not bad with drama per se but his bread and butter is his comic timing Playing what should be a humorless character isn't something he proved he could do.

I just hope he doesn't look as creepy as Jessica Alba did in F4 as a blond, Evans would have to be crazy to not take on the role if it has infact been offered to him, but you never know, maybe even he knows what would be best for the character, I still think Marvel is casting really young people to play Thor and Captain America, they should be around the same age as Downey Jr. and Edward Norton.

Evans is alright, but I think the movie studio is too preoccupied with casting a name actor. It would be even bolder to do the work and find the right unknown--give someone else a chance. Chris Reeves' role as Superman was star-making.

I can honestly say that the Matt Salinger version is starting to look 100 times better than this. I agree with Niki Stephens, if you're going to make a Captain America make him MATURE!. For one obvious reason , if anything, the guy gets frozen in ice for 50+ years. Don't ya think that he'd age a TINY bit. Secondly, as the captain of the avengers and as Alex Ross perfectly said, Captain America is the Patriarch of the Marvel Universe. He is the one man that everyone looks up to. Essentially, he is Marvel's equivalent of Superman but without the Alien origins. I will admit that those 3 would make a good Bucky and out of the 3 Chris Evans would be my pick but it would be like swallowing a really big pill if he ended up getting the role. Marvel....Fox Studios..... I know you are the business of making money... I know that you'd pull in the teen crowd if you had a "younger" captain america but to create a franchise you need to think of the primary consumer and who would be best to suit the role. With Iron Man it was Robert Downy Jr. , a man perfectly suited towards that role because he didn't look like he was 5! Even Ed Nortons Bruce Banner was an amazing pick... Just PLEASE don't let us down by doing this.

Chris Evans would be the best of those three for the main reason that he can actually act. Not to mention he has the size and looks. I think Hamm would be a brilliant choice if this film were taking place in the modern era but if you implement logic into this story would the US Government recruit a man who would be almost 40 for the super soldier program? I doubt it. The reality is that Cap...
Chris Evans would be the best of those three for the main reason that he can actually act. Not to mention he has the size and looks. I think Hamm would be a brilliant choice if this film were taking place in the modern era but if you implement logic into this story would the US Government recruit a man who would be almost 40 for the super soldier program? I doubt it. The reality is that Cap would have to be a prepetual 29-30 year old especially when you factor in the super soldier serum. I know I'm geek speaking here but it's logical to cast younger. Now if they were making a civil war film Hamm or preferably Mark Valley would be my first choices.

I'll happily settle for Evans, but Hamm would be SO kick ass!

Jon Hamm for Cap or Superman... though neither will ever happen. I even wouldn't mind Hamm as Batman

If it's come to these three choices it definetely has to be Evans since I'm sure he can do a good job.

Oh come on, Evans? Seriously? What is he good for? He plays the young hotshot. Cap Am is supposed to be a dignified patriot, the granddaddy of the Marvel universe.



This has potential to be such a disaster.
