| SCOTT SPEEDMAN |
It got to be scott speedman, he's perfect for the role. He has the the best chin and facial structure to pull it off, plus he is a bit on the lean side meaning he could pull off the skinny army soldier, but he could easily bulk up for the captain america part. Also he is a strong enough actor to do the part justice, loved him in underworld.... More

How about John Cena, OK the Marine was crap but he made the best out of it, he has the muscles, the personality, probably best to have a skinny Cena look alike to br Steve Rodgers before the steroids. OOps sorry I mean the super solider experiments. More

There's only 4 years age difference between Pitt and Guy Pearce. As for for being to old, Harrison Ford was older when they filmed Last Crusade, he managed ok I reckon and I also reckon Brad Pitt could still play 10 years younger than his actual age (allowing for make-up etc). I hope I look as vigourous at 45, but somehow I think not.

Bradd Pitt isnt the right one for the role as captain america, cause he is made for the role as the mighty thor instead.

It's good that the story will be taking place during WW2, cause that is when he was created, meaning that in the avengers, he'll be found frozen in ice as it's been seen in comics and cartoons. Also I think that the actor who played harvey in the dark knight would be perfect to play as captain america. More

Bale is English... yes he was born in Wales but to English/South African parents and raised in England. The man himself has said he doesn't consider himself Welsh but English. If your gonna claim Bale on the fact he happened to be born in Wales then the English can claim Hammersmith born Joe Calzahe More

I can see why Gosling could be a choice but I also fear that no matter how much he bulks up he will still look puny in the Cap costume (he does have very narrow shoulders and looks like a twig most of the time) More

| RE: Captain America Recruits Two Writers |
I can get behind Pitt as Cap.
The one thing that's a prerequisite - way more important than age, nationality or physique - is presence. Whoever the actor chosen to play Cap, whether a name like Pitt, or a complete unknown, he has to be believable as someone who would inspire others - and be able to look any other character (actor) square in the eye and hold his own in the acting stakes.
Pitt, for me, meets those requirements like few others do. I also like Eckhardt, but as More

Hate to nitpick - but Marvel's biggest character? Surely that's Spidey right?
Anyhow, massively excited by Marvel's choice so far - the big test, the casting, I'll be honest,

Bale? Not only is he Batman (that type casts him for any other super hero, similar goes for the man seemingly built for the role Aaron Eckhart) and English he looks nothing like Cap aesthetically. I still don't think Brad's too old to pull it off, though I guess if their looking down the line at a franchise he'd be pushing it come the sequals. Here's one from left feild...Michael C. Hall aka Dexter. He looks the part, is reasonably athletic even if he would need a little more bulking up and pull More

Wow. Marvel don't seem to be hanging around. Iron Man was a big hit for them and they're striking while the "Iron" is still hot.
With that red white and blue costume and shield, Captain America is a slightly ridiculous character - but with Johnston at the helm and Marvel in complete control, this film promises to be well made, action packed fun. Much like Iron Man ...... More

| Good news but still not keen on Johnston |
Markus and McFeely sound like a good choice - Narnias 1 and 2 showed they could adapt a beloved text and pull together a decent script out of it. However I can't help feeling that - and I know this is goin to sound bizzarre - Joe Wright is the right man (no pun intended) for the job. He pulled off characterisation coupled with WW scenes in Atonement, why not give him the chance to apply these to the comic book genre and deliver a cracking Cap America film? But then again, I wasn't convinced abou More

Balls are rolling and should be a great adventure. As far as thje whole issue raised with "But, given that Cap will also play a big part in The Avengers movie that will open a couple of months after his own flick, we imagine that Markus and McFeely might have to bear that in mind when writing First Avenger" shouldn't be a problem for anyone who knows the story *ahem Chris do some reading about it ahem*
