What about the above article is confusing to you?
If you're referring to the questions attached at the end of every editorial maybe we can clear up your displeasure. They are simply there to generate discussion after the reader is done with the content. We care what you think. :)
Komikon, it's time you shut up and stop acting like an idiot in the comments section.
why dont you like it? Cause this site actually asks our opinion? oh man god forbid they do that *sarcasm*
anyway moving on from that, I think its a great idea for them to start it off with Cap in WWII cause thats how he started in the comics, so it makes sense. As for who to play him, I think Brad Pitt has the look but might not be the right age or body build.
I heard Leonardo Dicaprio was rumored for the role but he's a huge no in more ways then one.
How about either Justin Hartley or Alan Richman, both guys are from Smallville but also have the right look for a young Captain America
As for needing the two different body types, they could cast two different actors that look really similar. I mean, if the vita-rays, etc., are supposed to change him that much, he'd look a bit different anyway.
I think he would be perfect as captain america
I'm not overly certain who should play Cap, maybe Justin Hartley?
He's perfect.
The beginning of it sounds like Captain America #25 (The Death)
Anyway, he has that sqare jaw.
As I said, perfect:

And yet you still read it, didn't ya? ;)
Then, up comes the Avengers Movie. My guess is that part of the Avengers Movie will be about Cap being found & unthawed, the other heroes gathering around him, and they then take on the "bad guy" of the movie, who may or may not have to do with Caps past or his finding..
In Avengers #1, the bad guy was Thors half brother Loki (who used the Hulk to cause some big time destruction, the heroes come running to stop the Hulk, they learn Loki was behind Hulks actions, they stop Loki, they decided that they worked well as a team, and so they decided to stick together). But of course, Cap wasnt part of this storyline, he wasnt found in the ice until issue #4 I believe. Anyway, my gut is guessing that Loki will not be the bad guy in the film. I just nerd-senses are just not tingling when I think of this.
This is all just my guessing. What do you think? Let me know. - Senseless Babble
Second, as far as someone to play Cap, Tahmoh Penikett BSG's Helo would be an outstanding pick, Tom is too short and Justin is too skinny. Remember we're talking SUPER SOLDIER here the man has to look the part! No more skinny Supermen in rubber suits please. I talked with Ms. Sackhoff and she thought he would be perfect for the part.
Good Luck with this one!
When it comes to casting, I think its going to have to be a no-name American actor. I say the second part because Capt' is an American icon, and I think having a Brit using an American accent just wouldn't work well.
I think a no-name or c-lister would work best because I feel people would really like to believe this individual is Captain America. If you put an A-lister the focus would be more on the actor than the character.
I believe Brad Pitt would make a better Thor than Capt' as well, Troy anyone?
He was tall...well built...deep voice...a great actor...and had piercing blue eyes. From what I understand, he was a pretty good actor on stage.
Of course, he was convincingly cold hearted on LOST. Perhaps he could give a screen test?
Really? Because the rest of America ignored it and only joined in when Japan bombed Pearl Harbour, bizarre how Hollywood tends to rewrite history to portray America as the Worlds saviour.
I'm not sure if he has the right look, but Paul Dano would be a brave choice. Perhaps a less populat choice would be Benjamin Mackenzie of the O.C. He has the eyes, bulk him up and he could be good.
And although he usually plays the villian, Ben Foster (Angel in X-Men 3) could carry the role.
Did anyone see the Hulk clips that they said were cut but were said to show Cap frozen in the ice, it will be part of the DVD package they say.
They said to look in the lower left of the screen but I could not make anything out. "A human figure with something round - meaning his shield" duh.
Or, maybe the synopsis is really supposed to say he grew up during the depression. In the comics he was born in 1917, making him 11 when the stock market crashed. Which would mean he was 25 in 1941 when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Honestly, I think they should go this route with the movie. I'd rather see an adult as Captain America instead of some "kid."
Here's a question for everyone which would you rather see as far as the movie goes the original concept "Jack Kirby" Captain America or the newer "Ultimates" concept Captain America?
6'2"
Eyes
Blue
Hair
Blond
This is the criteria of Captain America. And so we have find an actor that has the same looks. Also it has to be a non a-list actor.
And pls for the non comics dudes go to this link.

I like your vote for the Jack Kirby style but with the Iron Man movie and Hulk movie all the back ground stories look like they are moving towards The Ultimates style Cap, which might be a more reealistic apporach toward him.
Plus the movie or movies thinking along the line of a three movie deal will have a lot to deal with, a Pro-America out look in a non Pro-America world a very hard sell right now, Nazies, the Holocost, if they keep with the Jack Kirby story line Civial Rights, the list goes on and on. You gonna write about a guy dressed in Red, White and Blue showing up in Iraq?
Seriously... he wouldn't even need to act. He IS Steve Rogers.
Just give him some WW2 military training, and he's set.
Plus he's not a pompous Hollywood "big name" like DiCaprio, or Pitt, and so on. So sequels are less likely to cost an arm and a leg to get him signed on for.
I would not have picked him but interesting non the less.
Dave what movie style would you like to see - Kirby or Ultimates?
He donesn't have to BE anybody, but I would prefer that he does LOOK the part when he is Captain America no more rubber suits ala Superman Returns. They can CGI a skinny Steve Rogers for the beginning, but the rest of him should be the real deal.
He should be young, mid twenties, it will be a three picture deal with him also showing up in the Ironman, Thor, Hulk and Avengers pictures also so you'll need someone who won't be showing his age for a while.
Heck, ya never know he could end up being an unknown, some clean cut All-American farm boy from nowhere USA.
THIS IS WHO IS PLAYING CAPTAIN AMERICA. I WORK FOR THE AGENCY WHO HIRED HIM
The guy looks the part!
Sex in the City is not what I would call a high water mark for acting but...
He does LOOK the part! If your in the business hook him up! Get this guy the interview, whats the worst thing that could happen - he gets hired?
And you? YOU become the man who discovered CAPTAIN AMERICA!
Not too shabby on a resume.
My agency is now looking for Wasp and Antman. They will decide by December 2009. I'll keep you updated.
Thor will be interviewing Jan and Feb of 2010

Just for a starting point would they like the Stan Lee Thor or Ultimates Thor? Just thinking of the direction Jon Favreau is going with the other movies.
I can have a script outline fleshed out in about a week or two.
Back in the 80's Steve Geppi (Diamond Comic Distributors) introduced me to Stan Lee, where we discussed Marvel making their own films, to help juice the idea I presented him with two script outlines one was for a live action TV series based on "S.H.I.E.L.D." and the other was for a live action movie "Captain America" about a month later I heard back from him, he loved both of them, but at the time Marvel Entertainment just did not have the funds to make or produce either themselves.
I still have the letter.
Anyway, just tell me what they are looking for and I'll get started.
Thanks.
Any comments for Joe Johnston as director?
Are there any casting thoughts on the rest of the movie?
Like who could play Bucky, Red Skull, Dr. Abraham Erskine, or Baron Zemo?
I'm not some pencil neck little kid, I AM A WRITER - Acts one and two are done and I'm about to finsih act three, leaving the fourth and final act. In two or three days it will be finished, and for WHAT?
If you're still out there young man you'd better speak up.
I personally think Pitt would be an amazing fit.
also this is going to be a "mash up" of a few story lines, at the end of iron man fury talsk to Stark about the "avenger initiative" which is from the cival war storyline, the second Iron man film is rumoured to have black widow in it, nick fury is in there, half Ultimates too, and the first Villan they fight? the Hulk, in the Hulk film Stark is talkign to Ross about the "team they are puting together" (him and Fury)
All of these films will fit in somehow, i hope they can get Spidey in there also with tobey (circa spidey 1 not 3) in the lead, woudl be an awsome film.
