Hedlund FTW! This dude deserves to make it big! Although Krasinski would be interesting.

Of all the choices I think Garrett Hedlund would be best. He was incredible in Death Sentence - the transformation he went through to play Billy Darley was amazing.

none of them are right

Why are they going for someone so young? none of these guys look good for caps and when the avengers movie comes out( if ever) a young pretty boy cap wont feel right leading a team made up of RDJ and Edward Norton. Some like Brad Pitt would have been a better choice

NO NO NO

I have a tear running down my cheek looking at this piss poor line up. I hope I'm wrong but I think this movie will suck big time if one of these guys are cast.

Geez

Krasinski doesn't have the look or the acting ability for this sort of movie. Hedlund looks the best for the part, but I've never seen him before. We need more contenders.

NONE of the guys are even in the running to play Cap. The role has been cast and it's a big name. 'Nuff said.

Firstly, all those remaining guys suck. They're a bunch of pretty boys, not MEN. There's a difference. Daniel Craig, Gerard Butler = MEN. And there has to be an intense level of chemistry between Captain American and Iron Man. By the looks of the bunch above, none of them have any solid reputation let alone work on the same level as Rob Downey. That chemistry HAS to be there, it's as pivotal to...

And there has to be an intense level of chemistry between Captain American and Iron Man. By the looks of the bunch above, none of them have any solid reputation let alone work on the same level as Rob Downey. That chemistry HAS to be there, it's as pivotal to the Avengers buildup as it is that Peter Parker loves Mary Jane in Spider-Man. Without it, things will just get very lame.

at least not Chad Michael Murray.. That would have aborted my interest in it.. Of those guys, Hedlund.. Otherwise, I�m gonna suggest Brian Austin Green or Nathan Fillion for any superhero character.. Both should have been Green Lantern though

I don't know much about Captain America, but from what everyone wrote here it sounds like a dumbass idea. So who cares who they cast - let's hope it gets thrown into turn around and then we don't have to worry about it.

Terrible casting. I still think Kirk from Star Trek would of been really great. What is with all the casting coming from the CW?! Ugh. This list is really bad. It says something when John Krasinski is the top runner for a superhero, and you know the only reason he will get the job is because Joe Johnson is friends with Emily Blunt after they made Wolfman, and she probably introduced them.

Do not want any of these guys for it. Love Krazinski on the Office, but if he is Cap all I will think through that entire movie is where Dwight is and why he isn't being pranked by him!!!!

Whatever happened to Chuck's Ryan McPartlin being in line for it?? I mean he is already Captian Awesome, why not make it Captian America?!?!?

I don't even know how any of these actors are in anything. I don't watch the office or any WB show that these guys may be on. I am also not a Captain America fan but just looking at these guys I would say Krasinski is the best choice. They all just look like pretty boys and I can't imagine any of them leading the Avengers.

Some of these arguments have a point about Krasinski, so I'd be open to him, but I also like Mike Vogel for the role. Hedlund is, I don't know I just don't see him for it, but Vogel I think might actually have the proper acting chops too, and Krasinski is the most recognizable, and would be the inspired choice.

Krasinski for Cap.

I think he's a good representation of the average Joe American and definitely strays from the pretty boy approach. He's the only contender that's really made me stop and think. The others are just too easy.

On a practical note, he'd definitely bring in a decent audience (fans of The Office), which is a lucrative choice compared to the much lesser known blondies.

I respect your argument, but there's no possible way of knowing whether The Office did or did not help his movies. The fact that they did poorly can be attributed to many different things. Right now, I only bring it up as giving him leverage over the other guys in the minds of the studio. Which of the above can you say drew nine million viewers for their recent season finale?

Just saying, he's pretty well-known (the most of the choices) and has a pristine public image. He's a charming, genuine dude. From a marketing standpoint, he's an attractive bet.

that's a good point about him being an average joe typr but fans of the office(which i definitely am) haven't help make any of his other movies a success, why would this be different?

Anyone supporting Krasinski is a fool.

Or just looking to get hyped up for the sake of hype.

He is 100% wrong for the part. 2 months isn't enough time to gain muscle mass. Jesus. the rest aren't great but at least they are athletic and don't have pudgy faces, a big nose and no chin.

I was excited back when Captain Awesome from Chuck was a candidate. He's my pick.

Without him, yeah, I have to agree with arsenal45, I can't imagine any of the others matching Norton or Downey, so Krasinski could be good.

I'm betting that either Vogel or Krasinski will get it. Vogel would be bad ass, but Krasinski would be an incredibly off beat approach that I think will work very well. It's probably because I'm a fan of his, but I still think this.
