The Captain America Casting Thread

[Steve Holt]

How about this guy Teddy Sears, is it..? I have no idea what he did before but he sort of looks the part:

http://i4.fc-img.com/CTV02/Comcast_CIM_Prod_Fancast_Image/8/961/1218573649880_07RaisingTheBar_mif_147_106.jpg

http://web.wireimage.com/images/tnm/57597421.jpg

I have no idea if he's good or not. The first image look more like Cap should look. Second image a bit frail.

he's been my choice for the "unknown" route, he's great was great on Raising the Bar, very stoic.

[Whiskey Tango]

edit

[BrlntDsgse]

and by the way, im all for the BRING BACK JK! although it seems nearly imosible

I don't see why it'd be impossible....it's simple logic......

1.There are more JK supporters than detractors.

2.The JK detractors were very "loud" in announcing their distaste for him.

Thus, since there are more of "us" than "them", if we choose to be "loud" in our support, we will be louder than they were.

[RetroNaz]

I simply don't understand why some people are so positive about Phillippe. I don't see how he is any better than any of the previous contenders... Even Chace Crawford looks manlier than him... Theres just something very scrawny and not right about him... even if he bulked up, he'd still have the look of a sickly child.

My guess is because he has a bigger body of work compared to all the other contenders for the role.

[Stripesy Strip]

Wait a minute, Spripesy - you admit to having no idea if Sear's is any good or not but you suggest him for Cap purely based on looks?

Sheesh.

Like everybody else, i'm on the hunt to find a good Cap. I'm just throwing this outthere trying to know if other posters had seen him act before. Not saying I choose that guy. lol

[NIGHTSWING]

Boy! The Chris Evans ride didn't last long? So now it's Tatum week? Let's go JOE!
This one I do think is a very bad idea. Glad JJ is finding all these unknowns actors to toss around. :(

[OB12]

If there is any truth to that report and JK was indeed the top choice, but Marvel caved to fan reaction, then we only have ourselves to blame for a terrible Cap movie. I will be very disappointed if we end up with Channing Tatum, that is a tremendous drop from a possible JK casting or anyone else for that matter. Tatum is just a mush mouth with very little range. At this point, Evans is the only name that instill me with any kind of confidence.

[FlawlessVictory]

I call that Twitter report thing bull* - it would be the first time that a casting choice would be influenced by "fan backlash".
Plus, if I remember correctly a majority of fans were in favour or ok with the idea of Krasinsky Cap.
Oh and no to Tattum. Now that's huge negative fan feedback.

I'm calling BS on Twitter guy's report as well.

[Philly Phanboy]

Don't like the idea of Tatum but I'm kinda digging the new Sebastian Stan rumor.

[Blackman]

I just want them to cast this movie (hopefully Hedlund) soon because the internet has gone crazy.
One second everyone says how important looks are for Cap and then they support John Krasinski like there in a cult
So many people complain about how important height and age are important and that Marvel shouldnt cast a TV actor and then the same people support Mark Valley
And now so many people complain aobut "male models"/pretty boys shouldnt be Cap and then they support Ryan Phillipe.

It's a mad world

[That-Guy]

Man, if you guys think Tatum is awful for this role, get a load of this. Supposedly, at one point, he was poised to play GENGHIS KHAN in the film Mongol until the producers apparently came to their senses and cast Tadanobu Asano.

I don't know if this is true or not, but my God, I would have loved to have seen that. It would have been the greatest cinematic atrocity since... well... the last time they cast a white guy with severely limited acting range to play Genghis Khan (John Wayne). Wait a minute... you mean they almost did this TWICE?!!!

Unfortunately, it will probably be April before we find out who is cast considering Phillippe still needs to go in for his audition. Depending on how his first round goes, he may get called back to test against other actors. So it's going to be awhile. :csad:

[NIGHTSWING]

One thing is for sure! The guy that gets this is already going to have to be insane shape. Time is running out fast if not already passed for an average joe to kick it in the gym and bulk up in time for first day on set in June.

Also, what's the deal with the rumors of JJ and Marvel asking actors they want now to play Cap? Didn't they not get hundreds of guys lined up to do this? If they are low balling the pay on this and wanting a guy to sign up for 9 more low paying gigs. Then why start barking up the salary tree of actors now? The names that are now rumors are going to cost more that 300K. Finally, JJ just needs to invent a de-age gun and point it at Howie Long! Bingo! Cap is born! ;)

[Nirvana]

Jesus, if Tatum is a serious contender for this I think I might just die a little.

[OB12]

I am hoping that Tatum is not really being considered. Certainly, Ryan McPartlin, or Chris Evans, or Phillip Wincester, or someone of that ilk could out perform Tatum.

[That-Guy]

ANYONE could outperform Tatum. But somehow the guy keeps getting cast in movies. And what's worse, people are actually going to SEE those movies for some reason.

[Nirvana]

from that twitter guys website,believe it or not is up to you.

http://schofizzymoviereview.blogspot.com/2010/03/captain-has-marvel-confused.html

If this article has any truth I would be sorely disappointed. Krasinski was such a great pick. :csad:

[Antonello Blueberry]

Channing Tatum can do a lot better than what he did in G.I Joe and I'm proud to say I was one of those who mentioned him like two years ago.
Did you notice that nearly all the actors in our list ended up being tested for the role?

[Spidey-Quad]

Tatum, Phillip does anyone know where they were born? Everyone knows Steve Rogers was born on the "Lower East side of Manhatten", we can't have an actor say from New Jersey play Steve Rogers, c'mon that would be like having a butch girl play Cap.
(the above was pure sarcasm) :D

Latest casting update today had Hedlund officially out of the running :csad:

[SpiderByte]

I'm leaning toward Evans, mainly because he is the only actor who I have actually seen in a film.

[R_Hythlodeus]

Allright, so it seems like the Phillipe rumors might be true. Are we still doing this Twilight Team stuff? If so, I'm Team Phillipe now.

Have to re-wach Igby...

[Dr. Sid Jawtug]

Unfortunately or is it fortunately' Howie long is having a scheduling conflict. He is gettting paid more for Firestorm 2 then he would for the Cap movie.
If there is one thing this thread can agree on, it's that 300K for this role is a joke. If that amount is true is it really any surprise they haven't found a Cap yet?

[FlawlessVictory]

Latest casting update today had Hedlund officially out of the running :csad:

Huh? Where did you get that from? As of yesterday:

But he is definitely in the mix, along with other confirmed candidates that include Fantastic Four's Chris Evans, Cloverfield's Mike Vogel and Tron Legacy's Garrett Hedlund, and Generation Kill's Wilson Bethel.

http://www.deadline.com/2010/03/marvel-calling-tatum-for-captain-america/

[Philly Phanboy]

The latest Nicole Sperling update that included Sebastian Stan mentions Hedlund being out.

[That-Guy]

Sebastian Stan... why don't they just dress up the entire cast of Gossip Girl in superhero costumes and be done with it.

Seriously, what the hell is going on over there?

[FlawlessVictory]

OK, I hadn't seen this. Philly Phanboy is referring to this:

Marvel Studios’ search continues for the perfect actor to don the red, white, and blue suit and spread American ideals in the big-screen adaptation of Captain America. Today’s rumor mill throws G.I. Joe’s Channing Tatum into a mix of 20-something-year-olds that include the known, Ryan Phillippe (http://splashpage.mtv.com/2010/03/15/ryan-phillippe-captain-america-audition/), Fantastic Four’s Chris Evans; the semi-known, Tron’s Garrett Hedlund (UPDATE: We’re now hearing that Garrett is no longer in the running), Cloverfield’s Mike Vogel, Gossip Girl’s Sebastian Stan; and the unknown, Young and the Restless’s Wilson Bethel. The studio held lengthy screen tests last weekend for at least four of those actors (Hedlund has not yet screen-tested, though sources believe he is the studio’s first choice), and Marvel is expected to have a decision soon.

In the meantime, we’ve got a few plot details to share. Sources tell EW that Captain America, which is set to begin filming in June for a release next summer, will be shot on location in London as the Joe Johnston-helmed movie will feature a stylized 1940s WWII backdrop. And while Cap won’t be fighting Hitler as he did in the very first Captain America comic book, he will battle Red Skull, Hitler’s right-hand man.

Probably the biggest challenge with Marvel’s casting challenge is not the Captain America movie, but what comes next. Marvel’s plans include an Avengers film that will bow in summer 2012. And anyone familiar with Marvel lore knows that Captain America is a father figure to the rest of the Avengers. That means Marvel’s casting choice for Cap must be someone who can go toe-to-toe with the likes of Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man, Samuel Jackson’s Nick Fury, and Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, to name a few. “They’re casting two franchises here,” said a source close to the production. “This is no easy feat.”

[SpiderByte]

Insane things. Very insane things.

[That-Guy]

Shame that this movie is coming out in 2011. At this rate, I'm hoping it gets pushed back a year and then maybe the world will end before we have to suffer through it.

[FlawlessVictory]

Hmm... so much for Marvel's first choice.

Looks like this is ultimately the reason:

Hedlund was on Marvel’s original wish list but didn't test at first. Scheduling was the reason, but I also heard his reps balked when Marvel informed them that the job would include options for 9 future films and a salary of only around $300,000.

Out of all the candidates remaining, Hedlund was the only one I could sort of warm up to. I'm not really digging any of these names. I really hope it turns out to be someone we still haven't heard.

[OB12]

What is weird about this whole process, is that most of the names that we have heard throughout in no way rival the great casting decisions that Marvel has made thus far. I mean, Norton, RDJ, SLJ, Bridges, Tyler, Hurt, these are some very competent actors with some real screen presence and most of the names we are hearing for Cap are very weak. Chace Crawford, Wilson Bethel, and now Sebastian Stan? Here is a list that I think would be pretty strong, not that I like all of them, but the list itself would be worthy.

McPartlin, Ackles, Sears, Evans, Krasinski, Wincester, and Phillipe

Now you can argue the merits of the individuals, but out of that list I think you could get a good Cap. Some of the names we are hearing are just puzzling.

[Spider-Fan]

Wow, this is insane. Few things I want to hit on:

First, Tatum as Cap is totally not sexy. Neither is Bethel really. Philipee is a great actor, but is he too old? That, and he has a bit of a small frame. By that, I mean his body shape seems like one where he won't be able to gain much bulk. I'll take him over the other candidates that seem to have looks only (Tatum, etc), but I'd still say Evans has the best mix of looks and acting right now, that we have heard still in the running. But, I don't see him getting the role. Again, I'll give whoever Marvel casts as Cap a chance. I'm just speaking my mind on these choices from what I have seen. Marvel has more info than me (screen tests).

This is a confusing process, and just as I figured, that 9 film deal is the hold up. Otherwise, we'd have Hedlund as Cap. Marvel needs to rethink that, IMO.

Also, if Marvel and JJ walked from JK due to fan reaction, that is whimpish. Stick to your guns. Don't let a minority of the film going population dictate your policy. Bad business.

[OB12]

I just saw that Stan is Romanian, I can't believe that he is being considered.

[R_Hythlodeus]

I wouldn't call Liv Tyler a great casting decision. She played her part well, I agree. But Jennifer Connelly was way better as Betty Ross, IMO

[DocHoliday]

Hopefully it's not Tatum. I like Phillipe as an actor. Crash, Breach were both good films and I think Way of the Gun is seriously underrated. He also played a pacific theater soldier in "Flags of Our Fathers"

[That-Guy]

Hopefully it's not Tatum. I like Phillipe as an actor. Crash, Breach were both good films and I think Way of the Gun is seriously underrated. He also played a pacific theater soldier in "Flags of Our Fathers"

Thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that's an awesome movie. That film never gets the credit it deserves and Phillippe is stellar in it. That scene at the beginning with Sarah Silverman is classic.

"SHUT THAT C**T'S MOUTH OR I'LL COME OVER THERE AND F**KSTART HER HEAD!"

[Spider-Fan]

I agree, Phillippe is the best actor of the bunch so far. But, for all the Cap must look like he was carved by the gods people, Phillippe will make them really mad cause he has a very small frame. Even bulked up, he won't look huge. He doesn't have the body type to gain much mass. Plus, he was born in 1974. That makes him 35. That is a tad old.

He would be my #2 choice of the list so far, though.

[Nirvana]

I'm so happy that Hedlund is out. He was a terrible choice from the beginning.

[Spider-Fan]

Tatum for Cap is just all kinds of bad. He sucked in GI Joe, so I can't see him as Cap. His character literally had NO range. He is all looks, no show. I don't see it, nor do I see him getting it.

[terry78]

LOL, this thread is getting to be straight hilarity.

If anybody saw Chuck last night, Casey's transition from bright eyed soldier boy to hardened badass that we saw in that flashback is how I want them to portray Roger's transition.

[OB12]

I am no advocate of Tatum, but looking at him next to Phillipe makes you realize how wrong Phillipe would be for the role. He would be looking up to SLJ and Hemsworth in just about every scene. He is way small.

[FlawlessVictory]

I'm almost convinced that everyone's screentest has been a failure so far. No other reason for this circus.

When you're willing to audition Channing freaking Tatum for the part, you just know the producers feel like it can't get any worse. This is not good news for the movie as a whole, even if god-willing he doesn't get cast.

[Spider-Fan]

Agreed. Phillippe may look smaller than you would invision Cap physically, but I'll take that over Cap looking small in regard to screen presence, command, and range. These areas are where I can see him as Cap, so I'd support him. Despite a bit of size being lost.

Tatum has size and...size. That doesn't make you Cap, cause he may be physically big, but he is still too small for the role.

[TheLongestDay]

Tatum is coming over to your house...be ready.

I wouldn't go that far. This is a difficult process, because not only does this actor have to work well in a period piece, he also has to transistion to a more modern movie. That and he has to be able to look like he is in peak physical condition, have a chiseld jaw, blonde hair and blue eyes, on btw he should be able to act on the level of RDJ, SLJ, and Norton. This is no small undertaking.

[FlawlessVictory]

I'm throwing this guy in the ring. He's better than the candidates left; a good actor with looks who is in good shape and is listed as being 6'1". He tested for GL and claims to have really screwed it up but I bet he was just exaggerating/poking fun at himself with that story. And I bet he would have great chemistry with RDJ.

Yea, I know. :csad:

But that Deadline Hollywood article did mention that other actors have been invited to test, in addition to Chris Evans, but those names were not revealed. So you never know.

[DocHoliday]

Suggested Cooper a long time ago.

[FlawlessVictory]

Guy Gardner.

NEXT!

He would make a great Gardner. But I would take Cooper as Cap and sacrifice the potential Gardner casting, if it meant sparing us from someone like Tatum getting the Cap role.

[Spider-Fan]

Yea, I know. :csad:

But that Deadline Hollywood article did mention that other actors have been invited to test, in addition to Chris Evans, but those names were not revealed. So you never know.

That is true. He might be in the running eventually at this rate.

Tatum is under qualified to play a Zombie in a romero movie I doubt he could even shuffle and moan with any feeling

Channing Tatum FTW! :awesome::awesome:

[Mauser9910]

Oh man, it's getting as insane as when the Pope got nominated (unless we care for who gets the part), well, tell me when the white smoke is up because right now I don't want to hear anything about Johnny Storm or Duke for Cap... :(

[DocHoliday]

Try not to hate on Tatum too much or any of these guys. They are just trying to make a living, after all. I do think he is wrong for the role. I do think he is better in an ensemble where he isn't the go to guy.

Out of the guys we KNOW are testing, I'll go with Phillipe or Evans. This whole fiasco reminds me of Superman casting way back when McG was around.

[FlawlessVictory]

All joking aside, Tatum has definitely been on Marvel's radar:

“I think they’re looking for someone more Nordic-looking,” Tatum told MTV News during a press event for his new film, “Fighting.” However, Tatum confirmed that he had indeed been interested in the part, and even met with director Kenneth Branagh (http://splashpage.mtv.com/tag/kenneth-branagh) about donning the golden locks and toting the mythical hammer.

http://splashpage.mtv.com/2009/04/06/exclusive-no-thor-for-channing-tatum-studio-looking-for-someone-more-nordic-looking/

http://splashpage.mtv.com/2009/04/06/exclusive-no-thor-for-channing-tatum-studio-looking-for-someone-more-nordic-looking/

He was a candidate for THOR?!

Thank God they chose Hemsworth!

[FlawlessVictory]

It's obvious that Marvel is going after a name now. Flickchick summed it up nicely a few pages back that basically JJ had his shot with unknowns and no agreement could be reached between the director and studio on that unknown. Now they are going for bigger names with Marvel probably even more in control now of this casting. They want a name but not a name big enough where they could still reel in with a a relatively low salary and lock in for 9 pictures.

Whether you like him or not, Tatum fits this as does Phillippe and Evans. I would say though that Tatum is even more of a name than those two because he just recently had a #1 hit that he was the lead actor in. So Tatum sounds like a serious contender here.

[DocHoliday]

http://splashpage.mtv.com/2009/04/06/exclusive-no-thor-for-channing-tatum-studio-looking-for-someone-more-nordic-looking/

You kinda expect as much though. A lot of people tested for Thor. Even Hartnett, which brings me to this...is anyone surprised that he hasn't been brought in? I know his hair color and eye color is wrong but it does seem like a very Marvel choice. Could do worse too (Channing Tatum)

[terry78]

Well, you can't blame them in that sense. After all the griping we've done on here on how he must be a blond, blue-eyed, muscular looking dude...it ain't that many that have that look AND can act like Olivier.

[OB12]

Tatum maybe needs to take a break from playing the soldier/grunt/military person. He has done it several times and hasn't been particularly good, maybe it is time for him to do rom com or something.

[piccolo]

Tatum can't even act like Paul Walker.

Both of whom are pretty much the antithesis of John Krasinski in respects to why the 3 of them would be bad for this movie.

[OB12]

If they are intent on auditioning guys with questionable acting ability but good physical qualities, then I would suggest Trevor Donovan. The guy looks like Steve Rogers right now.

[Lobo]

If Phillipe is a choice he replaces Vogel as my top contender

[That-Guy]

Agreed. Phillippe may look smaller than you would invision Cap physically, but I'll take that over Cap looking small in regard to screen presence, command, and range. These areas are where I can see him as Cap, so I'd support him. Despite a bit of size being lost.

Tatum has size and...size. That doesn't make you Cap, cause he may be physically big, but he is still too small for the role.

Bingo. He may "look" the part more than some of the names mentioned, but he seriously has the charisma of a desk lamp. Actually, scratch that. At least a desk lamp has a function.

Look, I know that I'm just another whining internet fanboy here, but I think I speak for at least a few of us when I say that I will not see this movie if Channing Tatum is cast. He delivers lines like he's reading an instruction manual. I've never seen an actor in so many high-profile movies with less screen presence, and yes, I've seen plenty of films starring Chris Klien.

If looks are all that matter, than by all means, just cast the latest Abercrombie model (not surprisingly, Tatum used to be one) because at least whoever that guy is will come cheap and will likely have no problem signing onto a 9-picture deal. And maybe at least with that guy, there's a chance that he might take an acting class here or there and evolve into something resembling an actor. Tatum is a lost cause.

[Antonello Blueberry]

Try not to hate on Tatum too much or any of these guys. They are just trying to make a living, after all. I do think he is wrong for the role. I do think he is better in an ensemble where he isn't the go to guy.

Well McG final cast for Superman was shaping up to be good.
Henry Cavill, Scarlett Johansson, Johnny Depp and Shia LeBeouf.

[Dr. Evil]

I don't think it's going to be Channing Tatum. I mean an Avengers movie with Tatum and the awesomeness of RDJ, The hotness of Scar Jo, the coolness of Sam Jackson, the toughness of Chris Hemsworth? It's like that Sesame Street song "one of these things is not like the other"

It will either be Chris Evans or someone like Mike Vogel or Ryan Phillipe. Evans would be my first choice despite the fact that he played Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four.

[batboy99]

If they're taking a series of pictures with actors in costume ,then sure, Tatum is just fine and dandy. But if they actually want a GOOD movie then HELL NO!

[DocHoliday]

Go Evans, go! At least he has displayed an ability to be commanding in Sunshine. Since they are going for names, Chris Pine anyone? We are back at the starting point almost.

[OptimusPrime114]

Go Evans, go! At least he has displayed an ability to be commanding in Sunshine. Since they are going for names, Chris Pine anyone? We are back at the starting point almost.

Besides, he's better off as Cyclops. Or Hawkeye.

If they're taking a series of pictures with actors in costume ,then sure, Tatum is just fine and dandy. But if they actually want a GOOD movie then HELL NO!

Tatum's best role was in Public Enemies, because he got shot before he could say anything.

[Chewy]

Jerk Bot informs me that the Hollywood Reporter failed to mention that Twilight’s Kellan Lutz tested for the part as well.

The names that are popping up now are just awful. Why is Marvel scraping the bottom of the barrel for this movie?

[Majik1387]

I think we should start ignoring twitter postings about this unless it's from an actor or someone at Marvel Studios themselves; Not these people who have so-called sources.

[OptimusPrime114]

Yeah, yeah

Let's just ignore 'em twits!

Chad Ochocinco just tweeted that he's testing for Cap!

:wall:Just announce :wall:the GD:wall:casting already:wall:

Now just use channing tatums head smashing the wall cause that's what I'd want to do to him if he got this roll. I'm open to just about anyone but him. He could win a staring contest with a courpse.

[OB12]

I am not going to say I am in favor of Lutz or not, I don't really know. However, I can see the reasoning behind having him audition. He fits all of the physical requirements plus he has had supporting roles in some pretty popular movies, so he probably has a bit of fan following. I haven't seen either Twilight movie, but I do plan on seeing the new Nightmare on Elm Stree film, of which he has a small part. He may be poised for a breakout.

**** the physical abilities. Look at his resume... Accepted, Prom Night, 90210... there is a laundry list of teen heartthrob garbage in there. I get that everyone needs a shot at that break out performance, you want to risk all your chips with that body of work? Go for it.

[SWAT]

Lutz? Wow, Marvel is moving onto the Z list actors. Great.

[FlawlessVictory]

Not sure if this was mentioned already, but Chace Crawford officially states that he is out:

I am no longer in the run for the role as Captain America. Best of luck to who they choose for the role.http://twitter.com/TheChaceCrawfor/status/10528618669

After the recent news, Crawford isn't starting to look that bad.

If, as EW is reporting, Hedlund is out of the running, Evans is unquestionably the best choice remaining. Marvel should cast him immediately, without hesitation

He was also on Generation Kill, which I haven't seen, but I have seen thrown around here numerous times in defense of people like Skarsgaard. Look, I know almost nothing of Lutz other than the fact that physically he looks OK for the role and his resume seems longer than some of the other candidates. I don't know if he would be good or not, but I can see why they would want to test him out.

[FaT_tONle]

I gotto say, Evans is probably the best name we have heard as of late. Don't get me wrong, the FF thing annoys the hell out of me, but if this is his competition, then he is Marlon Brando. Phillipe is solid, but as was said earlier, that picture of him next to Tatum is alarming. I still say work something last minute with Hedlund, enough with the nine picture option nonsense. Fans can't even think of nine movies to place Cap no less.

Yeah well when you are a 6'1 blonde pretty boy hunk who is 25 then yeah, I'd imagine that would warrant a test. But unless he blows the doors off at the test, it's probably nothing more. I got wrapped up in the looks and the height after profiling him, once I scrolled down a bit, no thanks.

[Dr. Evil]

Kellan Lutz? Seriously? Do they want to make RDJ, Sam Jackson, Scar Jo, Chris Hemsworth and Ed Norton (maybe) out act Captain America in every scene in the Avengers?

It's too bad Ryan Reynolds isn't American. He would have had this role locked up a month ago. :hehe:

[Rock Sexton]

Hemsworth is certainly a big, good looking guy. But the original post said something to the effect of Hemsworth being nothing but a "stupid hunk," which I, along with others, disagree with.

For anyone to play Thor, the actor has to be considered a "hunk" by most definitions. For pete's sake, Thor is supposed to be an all-powerful god... of course the actor playing Thor has to look like what we'd think a god would look like.

For one reason or another, Hemsworth won the part over Skarsgard, there's no point in denigrating Hemsworth over it. If Hemsworth won the part for being "hunkier", so be it... we need a guy who looks the part. If Hemsworth won the part for being a better actor, I wouldn't doubt that, either. I think common sense tells us that the winner of an audition usually gets the part because he acted better for that part.

Rock, clearly you supported Skarsgard for Thor, which is totally cool. But he didn't get the part, so I don't understand why you would discount and denigrate Hemsworth -- he did earn the role, didn't he?

Who is "denigrating" Hemsworth? Is wasn't I. Regardless you have Australian posters on this board admitting to his "hunk" status because of the kinds of characters he played over there.

I don't think Marvel and Brannagh would be so simple-minded and naive as to cast an actor purely because he looks like Thor. Especially Brannagh, after having worked on numerous films based off of legendary literature, I'd like to think that Brannagh has a keen sense of what it takes for an actor to breathe life into a character. I'd be severely disappointed if Brannagh were the type to sit in an audition and say, "Look at that HUNK! That's my Thor, he doesn't need to read for the part -- let's sign him!" Hemsworth must have done something right in the audition.

The guy is undeniably better looking than Skaars and already had a physique that they could go full blown Thor with. If his acting was good enough, those two previous points would've vaulted him to the top. The part of Thor is supposed to be a very powerful man. It's in my opinion Hemsworth look helped him get the part. Concentrate on that word "helped" as I did not say "only".

So you can say that he was merely a soap opera star, that's your prerogative. But the more I read your posts, the more it seems like it's YOU who is doing the type casting of actors. When it comes to the subject of candidates YOU support, you reflect on their work in a positive light without making mention of any potential type casting. But when it comes to any other candidates (whom you do NOT support), you are very quick to reduce their acting abilities and resumes to very simple criticisms/critiques.

Lecture everyone, including yourself please. You keep forgetting how very subjective all of this is when it comes to discussing candidates for these roles.

Sure, you support Ryan McPartlin for Cap, but don't make mention of the fact that he's probably on TV for looking "hunkee" and that he has type cast himself as a wise cracking jerk. But when it comes to Krasinski, he's 100% Jim Halpert to you. Or Chris Evans, he's 100% Human Torch to you. Or Chris Hemsworth, he's just a soap hunk who merely got the part for being a soap hunk.

Actually chief, I did mentioned how light McPartlin's resume was. And yes, he's got "Hunk" status. When did I ever deny that? You're making up your own arguments as you go along. If I have to go with an unknown, with perhaps questionable acting abilities "on the surface" then yes, it will be McPartlin. He's what I envision Cap sounding like, being like, and looking like from the character I see him play in Captain Awesome on "Chuck".....minus the wise-cracking aspect.

When I posted about Chris Evans, I was using FF as a litmus test since it was a superhero movie, but I've seen just about everything else he's done, I'm not impressed whatsoever, and I'll be d*mn sure to say that on here. It's no secret what Hollywood tries to do with actors the grade of Evans. He's more the all-American "look" than the all-American actor. The way some talk about him on here, I should be able to look him up in IMDB and see numerous awards under his name.

It's this type of closed-minded attitude that stalls any sort of productive discussion of casting potentials. What it usually ends up in -- and what it actually HAS ended up in -- is an overabundance of petty, pointless little arguments that completely deviate from discussion of the merits of each actor. I mean, the Thor discussion digressed to a talk about passive aggressive image posting.

No. What stalls discussions are when posters take subjective comments personally and start lecturing individual posters for having opinions.

I haven't been on this forum for too long, but I have been here long enough to be annoyed by your incessant belittling of others' opinions, the double standards under which you judge actors, and your airtight closed mindedness when it comes to discussing other posters' suggestions for casting choices.

Lighten up, Rock...and maybe try to be more respectful of other people's opinions. I am not even asking you to agree with posters, I'm just saying it would be nice if one of these days, you weren't a complete ****head.

Heed your own advice hypocrite.

[topdog1]

I don't think it's going to be Channing Tatum. I mean an Avengers movie with Tatum and the awesomeness of RDJ, The hotness of Scar Jo, the coolness of Sam Jackson, the toughness of Chris Hemsworth? It's like that Sesame Street song "one of these things is not like the other"

It will either be Chris Evans or someone like Mike Vogel or Ryan Phillipe. Evans would be my first choice despite the fact that he played Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four.

:woot: Great post!

Evans is my choice as well. First, second and third choice at that. Hope the "Hedlund is out" rumor is true. Dodged a bullet there.

[FlawlessVictory]

I think everyone would agree Evans is best. I would prefer someone new to role though and not get the "been there, done that feeling". But at this point, with what we have to work with, beggars can't be choosers. :csad:

[Punisher_MAX]

damn it Hedlund is out?

God please let it be Evans...

[Dr. Evil]

As much as I think Ryan McPartlin is awesome as Captain Awesome in Chuck, I don't think he should be Captain America.

[FaT_tONle]

Maybe Tron Legacy flops and Hedlund's reps are kicking themselves for not getting him the Cap role. I do think Hedlund could be a good one down the line though, with the goatee he does give off a young Ledger, Pitt vibe. Ability wise, still a ways away. Lets hope he doesn't become the next DiCaprio that turned down Star Wars and we end up with someone like we got with Anakin.

I dont know if he's better looking than Skars or not, but he's definitely more masculine looking. I'm of the opinion that this is what helped him get the part over Alex, who despite being very nordic also has much softer and more feminine features.

Saying that, would you agree that this whole fiasco could have been solved by giving Thor to Skarsgard and making Hemsworth Captain America? I think Hems is a better Thor but he would be perfect for Cap, and Skars would be the second best choice for Thor.

Spilled milk I know, just postulating.

[Majik1387]

Who said Hedlund was out?

[Blackman]

I remember there were reports that Reynolds didnt get GL right before he was cast.
ITs a long shot but Im hoping the same for Hedlund

[That-Guy]

To all of you "Hemsworth Vs. Skaarsgard" guys... can you take that argument to the Thor boards? It's irrelevant here.

[Lobo]

Who said Hedlund was out?

It was in one of the newer reports which mentioned Sebastian Stan. I'm hoping for Phillipe, Vogel, or Evans.

[OB12]

I can't say that I am too upset that Hedlund appears to be out. I never could really get to the point where I thought he would make a good Cap. He has too much of an anti-establishment look, not something I want for Cap.

[Rock Sexton]

Definitely. There's quite a bit of backlash about perception of "looks" on this site, but Hollywood's no dope. They do factor that into their leading men, especially when it comes to a character of Thor's physical stature. They have to put butts in the seats. They want people who can act, but also guys other men want to be like and women want to sleep with lol. Although some casting with movies these days (ahem Tatum Channing movies) IMO is very shallow.

Saying that, would you agree that this whole fiasco could have been solved by giving Thor to Skarsgard and making Hemsworth Captain America? I think Hems is a better Thor but he would be perfect for Cap, and Skars would be the second best choice for Thor.

Spilled milk I know, just postulating.

I don't know how well Hems can actually hold an American accent. I have to admit it is kind of odd to have a foreigner play the role. But on it's face I can totally picture that.

[Spider-Fan]

Skars vs Hemsworth is kind of moot in a Cap thread. Hemsworth can't be Cap, that ship has sailed.

The names for Cap keep getting lower and lower. Marvel NEEDS to make a new proposal. No one seems to want this 9 picture deal, and it is forcing them to scrape.

[The Shredder]

I'm pushing for Vogel now.

He's certainly an underdog, but apparently he's still in there. :up:

Might can warm up to Phillippe, if we're talking about someone who's enjoyed media exposure over the years and not a unknown. I've seen some good performances out of him.

But generally, I want a unknown (which Vogel certainly fits).

The foreigner playing Cap thing doesn't bother me. Its half the reason we have this whole casting circus right now in the first place. If hamstringing yourself like this leads to choices like John Krasinski and Channing Tatum I say bring on the foreigners. There's nothing inherently worse about a non-American playing Cap than an actual American butchering him on-screen.

Agreed.

But, Hems has talent. He was in Star Trek for 10 mins, but he was able to get me to connect with him like he was the star of the film. That is the sign of a great actor. I watched the whole GI Joe film, and the only thing running through my mind on Tatum was how bad he was.

Hems did in 10 mins (in a small part) what Tatum couldn't in a starring role. That means this is a bad comparison.

[piccolo]

Man, you guys really seem to hate Worthington.

I've only see him in avatar but he didnt strike me as a catastrophe.

I agree that being a hunk doesn't mean you suck, as seen with Hems. But, Tatum is unfortunately a hunk who sucks.

[DocHoliday]

I am dead serious when I say that I'd rather them re-write the movie with Isiah Bradley as the main character and cast Will Smith than see Tatum as Cap. At least the acting would be far better.

The idea of Tatum besting any of the names reportedly in the running for Cap is .... well .... let me put it this way ... Matt Damon barging into Marvel offices saying he would play Cap for FREE and be OK with being locked down for 14 movies is a more likely scenario. :woot:

[TheFuture]

I'm getting sick of these rumours. I'm starting to think that Marvel have had their Cap for a long time and are leaking these constant stories in order to build up the hype.

[piccolo]

I'm not saying i'd want Sam as Cap. Just that I saw avatar and he was ok in it, so I dont know where the hate for him comes from. I guess if he was that bad in other movies though....

Has he had a shaved head in every movie he's done? Seems like it.

[Son of Coul]

Some of us just wonder what it is he's done to deserve the roles he's gotten recently. He's like the paper champion of movies these days.
He's starred in like two movies and he's gonna be in one other one this year. One of them just happened to be the highest grossing movie ever is all.

[DACrowe]

Well I like the rumors about lead women. Blunt is a great actress and has a history with Marvel and Johnston, so it makes sense. Eve is attractive, but can she act? Knightley is a very good actress, but I think after POTC3 she is done with summer popcorn fare.

As for Tatum. They can't be serious. After having actors like Robert Downey Jr., Edward Norton, Hugh Jackman and Tobey Maguire play their major heroes (all great actors) they're going for the next Paul Walker?

I don't buy that for a second.

Who? Hedlund or Krasinski? Because Krasinski has been officially out for a while.

[Wolvieboy17]

I think people go overboard with the Sam Worthington stuff..... He was an unknown (to Hollywood) cast in a new James Cameron movie... the hype was all about Avatar, not about him personally.... As to 'what he's done to prove himself' try playing the main character in 7 feature films PRIOR to being cast in any American films (not counting his hollywood bit parts throughout the years). Several of those films won many awards, and are acclaimed films. People saying "but what has he done to prove it" just shows the contempt people have for Australian films, or indeed any films outside of their own country. It's pathetic. Not to mention that Worthington has had loads more experience than all the unknown contenders for Captain America (not suggesting Sam for Cap at all, he's not right for it). But that doesn't stop people trumpeting to the high heavens about how "Said Nameless pretty boy tv star" IS Captain America...

Also, with all this casting, now that we're looking at female roles, how great would it have been to have both Blunt and JK.... it would have felt so genuine, and been perfect. I can't stand Keira Knightley.

John Krasinski joining 'Something Borrowed'
Actor to co-star with Ginnifer Goodwin in film and its sequel

By Borys Kit

March 9, 2010, 11:00 PM ET

John Krasinski is in negotiations to join Ginnifer Goodwin in Alcon's romantic comedy "Something Borrowed."

The script centers on a Manhattan attorney (Goodwin), the consummate good girl, who falls in love with her best friend's fiance on her 30th birthday.

The project is based on a series of novels by Emily Giffin. Alcon also picked up rights to the second book, "Something Blue," with a plan to develop a sequel.

Krasinski's deal is rare in that it is a two-picture deal for a role -- he will play Goodwin's friend and confidant -- more supporting in nature in the first movie but which evolves into the male lead in the second one.

Luke Greenfield is directing the first pic, now eyeing a spring start.

Alcon heads Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson are producing with 2S principals Hilary Swank and Molly Smith. Aaron Lubin and Pamela Schein Murphy of Wild Ocean Films also are producing.

The CAA-repped Krasinski, best known for his work on NBC's "The Office," is slowly building a career in features through key roles. He gained favorable notices for his performance opposite Meryl Streep in "It's Complicated" and recently tested for the lead in "Captain America."

[flickchick85]

I'm not gonna pretend to be bummed about Hedlund being out of the running, as I never liked him for the role. But I wish Tatum and Phillippe had been eliminated first because he would have easily been a better choice than either of them, and I'd feel a whole lot better about all this if they were out.

Sebastian Stan? I liked him on Kings, but he's Romanian! WTF. If they're gonna ditch the "he has to be an American" rule, there are a FAR better options out there. That said, Stan could be a great Bucky.

Also, I don't get the Worthington hate, either. Yeah, he was over-hyped. But he hasn't been bad in anything. He and Yelchin were the best parts of a bad movie in Terminator (both better than Bale, and we're not gonna start Bale-bashing, are we?), and he was just fine in Avatar. And I personally thought he was wonderful in Somersault with Abby Cornish, so I do think he's capable of being more than just the flat action hero. Hell no, I don't want him for Cap - guy can't do the accent. But I think the hate is a little overblown. He's not Channing Tatum for crying out loud.

[Majik1387]

I'm hoping this is what Marvel is doing, given the new crop of names appearing in the screen testing. Many of these are very bad picks. We never got a schedule on when that other thing he signed on to do was, so maybe he was never out in the first place.

[BoredGuy]

If Tatum gets the role, I may literally shoot myself...

I have Cap's shield tattooed on my arm, and the last thing I need is some little teeny-bopper broad saying anything to me about that douche... I will punch em in the goddamned face, lol...

http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/8900000/Chris-Evans-in-Sunshine-chris-evans-8916074-728-435.jpg

A better choice than Vogel, Tatum, Phillipe, Stan, Bethel, and Lutz put together. Hopefully Marvel is screentesting him this week like THR/Deadline reported they would and will be dealmaking with him by this weekend. I can't even entertain the idea of maybe possibly Tatum in this movie :csad:

[Wolvieboy17]

Dude, it's official.
http://www.deadline.com/2010/03/marv...ptain-america/
It was strongly official when he wasn't in the second list of contenders and he already signed to do some RomCom movie series.

He's out of the running and not coming back.

No such thing as 'strongly official'. It's either official or it isn't, and nothing in Hollywood is ever official until it happens. I don't think anyone can rule anything out at this stage, regarding this casting... whether its JK, an out of left field unknown or Channing bloody Tatum.

[Punisher_MAX]

so if fan reactions are helping sway this casting i say we all rally behind one candidate...I vote for Evans.

Did they say what day he was testing?

If it is soon, I hope he gets it. Tatum must not be Cap!

[The Shredder]

Fan reactions deciding this would be absolutely hilarious.

[piccolo]

Tatum doesn't make JK look like a good choice. Just the less horrible one. Its like choosing between getting punched in the face or having an arm chopped off.

Agreed. :up:

Please, Marvel, make it happen. Don't f*** this up (aka choose Tatum).

[Project862006]

i want evans but they probably should of just cast krasinski and emily blunt they would have chemistry already or atleast i hope LOL

but yeah TEAM EVANS

[Majik1387]

For me it's

Vogel > Evans > Phillipe > Tatum










> Bethel


I'm really hoping Sebastian Stan read for Bucky, but if not, I would place him below Phillipe and above Tatum.

[Spider-Fan]

If we were, this would be done by now :o

Exactly.... it doesn't say when that film starts filming, so how is it proof of anything? It's just as circumstantial as the Fox story saying he was definitely in... There has been very little hard evidence on ANY of these rumours over the last month. But Fanboys will be fanboys.... a rumour is essentially a commandment written in stone to them.

[Aesop Rocks]

Chris Evans is logically the only choice as of now, IMO.

[piccolo]

Does anyone have a pic of Evans with longer hair? Possibly photoshopped blonde?

[FaT_tONle]

I'm not gonna pretend to be bummed about Hedlund being out of the running, as I never liked him for the role. But I wish Tatum and Phillippe had been eliminated first because he would have easily been a better choice than either of them, and I'd feel a whole lot better about all this if they were out.

Sebastian Stan? I liked him on Kings, but he's Romanian! WTF. If they're gonna ditch the "he has to be an American" rule, there are a FAR better options out there. That said, Stan could be a great Bucky.

Also, I don't get the Worthington hate, either. Yeah, he was over-hyped. But he hasn't been bad in anything. He and Yelchin were the best parts of a bad movie in Terminator (both better than Bale, and we're not gonna start Bale-bashing, are we?), and he was just fine in Avatar. And I personally thought he was wonderful in Somersault with Abby Cornish, so I do think he's capable of being more than just the flat action hero. Hell no, I don't want him for Cap - guy can't do the accent. But I think the hate is a little overblown. He's not Channing Tatum for crying out loud.

I mention he has a bad accent, and all of a sudden posters exponentiate that to the infiniteth degree and we end up with a Worthington thread. Only the Hype... :awesome:

i want evans but they probably should of just cast krasinski and emily blunt they would have chemistry already or atleast i hope LOL

Real life love interests should never play out the same relationship in cinema. Why would you want to mix work with that?

[Punisher_MAX]

Agreed. :up:

There is also the possibility this is a negotiation ploy. JK wants more (as it seems most do cause the contract sucks), so Marvel tries forcing his hand by auditioning more people. Hoping JK tries to get back in at a cheaper price. Wouldn't be the first time that happened. However, this is becoming a circus, so Marvel I think is making JK stronger.

Chris Evans is logically the only choice as of now, IMO.

Of the remaining names, I do think he makes the most sense.

So who would have won?

Damon or Pine?

According to this threads poll, it's Ackles.

re: Evans vid/pic

Not bad. I imagine with an specifically done makeup/hair job he could definitely pull Cap off.

He's probably too big an actor now to take 300k/film though. Maybe he proves that wrong.

[flickchick85]

I think Evans' natural hair color is a kind of dark or strawberry blonde, so he probably just uses highlights to get it to come through on film:

[Spider-Fan]

But JK just signed on to do another film.

Does it shoot during Cap's shoot? That is the bigger question for me. That article didn't give a shooting date. He could sign on to another film and do Cap if the schedule is right.

Again, that rides on it not shooting during Cap's shoot.

[FaT_tONle]

Bale, Glover and Liev Schreiber probably. He wouldn't have been bad, although Eckhart did a damn fine job.

Thor would have been Hartnett for Loki and Skars for Thor, not sure who was the favorite for Sif. Gina Carano if anyone. Fans were pretty much on board with Hopkins. Sometimes the fans aren't terrible, but if Marvel was swayed by fans with JK, that's just :facepalm:

[OB12]

^^ That article said JK was in negotions, not that he signed. There is a difference there.

[Rock Sexton]

Sometimes the fans aren't terrible, but also I think sometimes certain casting is just obvious. Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool comes to mind.

[The Shredder]

Of a Jules Winnfield sort apparently.

[flickchick85]

I think this may be Evans' natural hair color:

http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/4003/fiercepeople003.jpg

So yeah, get him some highlights and he'd be good to go.

[FaT_tONle]

Or Hugo Weaving for Skull, a nice tan with a shaved head and no makeup required for the guy.

Gotta admit, not up on my Pulp Fiction references.

[Wolvieboy17]

He'd have to lose the facial hair though, and he's rather attatched to that.

Here's a quote then:

Because "Team ____" didn't exist before Twilight.

[FaT_tONle]

So let me get this straight just to get things up to speed, Chris Evans will be cast because he is the most obvious and logical choice for the role, meaning he probably WON'T be casted even if Johnston's life depended on it... anyone thinking the same thing?

[Son of Coul]

Sam Worthington wasn't the reason Avatar was the highest grossing film ever. The man responsible was James Cameron and the films CGI.
...I was saying he hasn't been in many movies, despite everyone saying "aagggh Sam Worthington is in every movie ever now, what is going on?!" Then I theorized that people were just saying that because he was in an enormously popular movie. (And probably because everyone keeps suggesting him for every hero)

[Majik1387]

Get over the Worthington thing already or take it to another thread. It's entirely off-topic and redundant.

[TheVileOne]

If its true that Tatum is being considered I hope it's not out of desperation. Tatum just sounds like a desperation move.

Isn't butchering GI JOE bad enough? Not to mention DEAR JOHN.

I don't hate Tatum but the dude is bland as heck. He's just one of the modern breed of male actors that doesn't have that awesome presence that awesome male actors and action heroes used to have. He looks like an Ashton Kutcher male model type that lucked into becoming an actor (not saying Tatum is a male model I don't know if he was).

Paul Walker is of the same type as Tatum but he came around like 8-9 years ago.

[TheVileOne]

The next person that talks about Sam Worthington is gonna get a triangle choke.

[Son of Coul]

I wasn't even discussing Worthington, I was just explaining my post to someone who misinterpreted it.

[BH/HHH]

Captain America casting rumors: Ryan Phillippe speaks!

Ryan Phillippe confirmed that he is one of the actors in consideration for the role of Steve Rogers/Captain America in Marvel's The First Avenger: Captain America.

While he appeared on a panel for the comedy MacGruber at the South by Southwest Film Festival, we got up and asked Phillippe if he was game for the franchise and crossover movies that would come with Captain America. Phillippe hinted that he's been far enough along in talks that even his kids are getting excited.

"Yeah, I would," Phillippe said on March. 16 in Austin, Texas. "My son would looove it. He's 6 years old."

It's not just for the kids, though. Phillippe indicated he's gunning for the part himself. "I'm really into it," he said. "We'll see what happens, but yeah, it'd be fun."

Phillippe played it cool when we followed up about what stage in talks he was at. He seemed like he'd been prepped enough by Marvel to be cautious. The panel was open to all film festival attendees, but Phillippe knew there were press in the audience.

"Uh, which Web site do you work for?" Phillippe asked.

New reports also have Channing Tatum as the newest candidate. John Krasinski was passed over. Phillippe encouraged his fans to keep up with casting news, because there's likely to be some news.

"Keep checking the Web, I guess," he teased.

Ireally like Phillipe I think hes a terrific actor. I always thought he could play Green Arrow though.

[Blackman]

I'm going to go watch TV. If Cap isnt cast by the time I get back and if its not Hedlund, Vogel, or Evans...then I'll burn the school to the gwound

[JP]

I think Phillipe is our man.

Which means I'm absolutely wrong and he's not.

[OB12]

I bet Phillipe can bring the goods acting-wise, but they will have to pull every camera trick in the book to make him look imposing. Dude is not big at all.

[blinkuldhc]

From phillippe's coy statements.... I'm starting to think he has the part.

Then again, I thought mcpartlin and krasinski had the role sealed at different points.

[chamber-music]

I wouldn't mind Phillippe, Hedlund or Evans getting the role

[FaT_tONle]

I bet Phillipe can bring the goods acting-wise, but they will have to pull every camera trick in the book to make him look imposing. Dude is not big at all.

Cast a really short love interest, don't give Stark the lifts but give Phillipe some lifts, Thor is already straight, Norton and SLJ sit down or stand from a distance for the most part... screw around with the angles, and... it's meh at best...:dry:

[Dr. Sid Jawtug]

Seriously. Ever heard of Team Rocket? :awesome:

Team Snorlax!

[flickchick85]

I'm actually getting a little worried now. Phillippe IS talking like he's very close to having the part locked down. Best I can say about that is that he'd be much better than Tatum, but I still think he's just all wrong for this role.

[FaT_tONle]

Skars also thought he had the part in the bag, don't be so fickle after some comments from a contender.

[Punisher_MAX]

i hope to GOD Phillippe doesnt get it.

[Sawyer]

Honestly, of all the choices, I think Phillipe would be my top choice.

Some of them are just damn generic. I mean... Channing Tatum?! I expect better from you Marvel. :o

[Dr. Sid Jawtug]

I'm actually getting a little worried now. Phillippe IS talking like he's very close to having the part locked down. Best I can say about that is that he'd be much better than Tatum, but I still think he's just all wrong for this role.

Ryan has that young face with some life experience behind it.
I'm pretty much giving up and saying as long as it's not Tatum, I will live with it.

[OB12]

Though Phillipe is a decent actor, I would be disappointed if he were selected. He doesn't project Cap at all when I see him. He doesn't have particularly strong features or a commanding voice, plus he has a real small frame. C'mon Evans!

[Octoberist]

i hope to GOD Phillippe doesnt get it.

you better explain youself because you're against Phillippe but for Channing, then you need to go to the COO-COO house!

[KangConquers]

Ugh...I don't check back for a few hours and there are like 10 new faces. Who is it now?

[Aesop Rocks]

Just Channing "Has The Role" Tatum

[OB12]

Phillipe and Tatum are the most talked about right now. Evans is still in the mix I believe, Lutz has been added, and Vogel and Bethel are still hanging around somehow.

I think that sums up the current situation as we know it. I wish there was something better than this.

[FlawlessVictory]

I think the latest final contenders are Evans, Tatum and Phillippe. I really don't think Vogel or Bethel have a shot anymore. I think Marvel is in desperation mode and sort of want a "real" name.

Marvel may be hesitant to cast Evans only because of his association with the F4 movies. If that's the case, then this role will go to Phillippe.

[chamber-music]

Ugh...I don't check back for a few hours and there are like 10 new faces. Who is it now?

Every white american male between 21 and 35 seems to be up for the role at this rate.

[Sawyer]

Dont... :csad:

Well I'd like to throw my hat in.

I'm 25, semi-square jaw, blonde hair/ blue eyes. I'm kind of short (5'10") and have a beer gut, but nothing some lifts and steroids won't fix.

I acted in a play once when I was 9....can I be up for Cap too?

[Aesop Rocks]

Dont... :csad:

Just accept it, as hard as it may be to do so, and everything will be better. :csad:

[Symbiotic]

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think they can make the current release date they have scheduled. The last thing Cap should be is a half-assed movie that had a rush-job film shoot. They need to get this casting thing settled SOON.
