[Dark Raven]

Richard Chamberlain is too camp and dapper to be Captain America.

 

[Frodo]

Well, it is a BBC production of The Avengers so, the Dapper Cap would come with the very Spy heavy , swinging 60s British territory.

I basically did this cast as a fun homage to 60s Britain, though I couldn't really think of a British actor for Cap so I went with Chamberlain who was close enough.

I also couldn't see Connery as Stark or Andrews as Wasp but I threw in since it was the 60s UK.
