I won't stop supporting Tom Jane for Caps until we get official confirmation someone else is cast.
 
What about Matthew Bomer

He was a candidate for Superman awhile back. I don't know how good he'd look with blonde hair.

It's a shame they cancelled his show; I liked traveller a lot.

How tall is Matt?
 
6 feet.






Okay, 5'11½". Close enough.

Which doesn't bug me. I don't think Cap needs to be an extremely tall guy in the movie. He needs to have a commanding presence and be buff. Doesn't need to tower over people.

That's what I'm gonna be doing too, except I'll be supporting Mark Valley. :woot: :up:
 
Jane isn't exactly a widely recognizeable star. He's popular with fanboys and in the comic/sci-fi community but that's about it. He hasn't risen to the A-List yet. I recognized Christian Bale and Eric Bana and had no problem with them. I recognized Michael Keaton in Batman, and Hugh Jackman in X-Men. I also recognize Ed Norton and Robert Downey Jr too. :)

Jane? His a pretty boy. The girls like him. I think he may be more recognizable than you think. But you're right, certainly not A-list. And while Bale, Keaton, Bana and Jackman (You're on your own here, I never heard of this guy before X-Men) were names, it's different and I am not sure why. Superman and Captain America are the only two (at least that I can think of off the top of my head) that need to be unknowns. Maybe it's their iconic status (but then again, Batman is an icon too) I don't know. Maybe some characters can be easily parodied? Maybe it's the uniform or the boyscout qualities that both Cap and Superman have that make them an easy joke? So instead of going, "Hey the guy from Deep Blue Sea is playing Captain America" we should be going "Holy *****! That's Captain America!"

I don't know, I can't really put my finger on why, but I feel Cap has to be totally unknown.

I hope they can find an unknown that the kind of screen presence as Jane. He's the closest thing to Harrison Ford since...Harrison Ford.
 
I think a lot of actors want to be Captain America as long as he wears breathable costume. The trouble is finding a bonafide director.
 
I would like for Matt Damon to play Cap, but I would be fine with them going the "Routh" way and finding an unknown and then surround him with an uber-talented cast.
 
According to IMDB, Paul Walker (Into The Blue, The Skulls, The Fast & The Furious) has been cast as Cap. He's tall, athletic and very fit.

IMDB is not a reliable source for movies that are in production.
 
Never been a fan of Paul Walker, however I have been told he was good in the movie Running Scared.
 
Walker has the look but that's the only thing he got going for him and it isn't enough imo.

It's not that Walker was so great in Running Scared...the movie was awesome. Thanks mainly to the director. Paul did his job though.
 
I really really, REALLY wanna see Matt Damon get this. Marvel just isn't kidding with their casting anymore, an' Damon has all the right chops for Cap. Hell, the way he played Bourne in the Bourne series was like almost having a preview of him in a Cap flick. The man is one of the best actors today AND won an Oscar

Damon for Cap, dammit. :up:
 
Damon could be cool but hell he better grow a bit taller and build up some size quick. Imagine Matt Damon as Jigsaw. ;)

Agreed 100% :up:

Well, if McKidd gets Thor, than do you want Cap to tower over Thor? I think Damon being Cap is looking VERY realistic right now (assuming McKidd lands Thor of course).

I just watched Bourne Ultimatum today, and he reminded me so much of Steve Epting's Steve Rogers. So yeah, I'd be pretty pissed if he does not become Steve Rogers.
 
we need a massive actor over 200 lbs
captain america is a very build man(240 lbs) is very big

go to a gym and look for 240lbs guy and you would see a captain america physique

steve is strong in human level but not superhuman he dont have superpowers . to be strong like him you have to be well muscle

in real life strong man are over 200 pounds depend of is height and i say real strong

if captain america can lift 800lbs is body have to be adapted for this kind of strengt ,he have to be big

skinny guy cant do what cap can

find a very big actor or hollywood have to made a custom actor for the role

they try 1990 captain america with a skinny actor he really look the american f,,( i can say the word)

cap is impressive and charismatic find someone with impressive physique
