That always makes me think of the trivia night episode of the British Office.

I kinda like the idea of Gosling..he has mainstream appeal and he's not a bad actor..plus he's 28. Young enough to play those early scenes..and old enough to man up to maturity as Cap.

A big named actor won't necessarily be a big draw. Fantastic Four got along with Alba as your draw, not Iaon, Chris or even Chiklis. Certainly, Norton didn't help The Incredible Hulk be more successful than its Ang Lee directed predecessor. Tho maybe if Eric Bana dyed his hair he could be Cap to resurrect his Marvel career?

I dunno about that. I think Norton was the one thing, to many people I know, that appealed them to see The Incredible Hulk. Hell, me included.

And like I pointed out, there's no actor of Norton's stature in the FF movies and that doesn't stop that franchise from making about the same b.o. as both Hulks. So saying you need a big star isn't quite necessary.
And I like Bana eventhough most would consider him "too old." I feel he can play both his actual age (40) and a lot younger.

^ He's too skinny, plus his acting chops are so good he would scoff at the idea of playing a superhero.

But not enough to more than surpass the b.o. of the first Hulk. It ended up almost even in take, which really translates into less people seeing it due to ticket inflation.

i agree. many people i talked to weren't going to see it because they didn't like ang lee's hulk. it's too bad because incredible hulk deserved to make the kind of money iron man did, i thought it was excellent. i hope marvel studios and norton decide on another.

I don't think it was as good as IM, though so few films can really do what IM did...took many of us off guard for sure. It did deserve bigger sales though. Everyone loves the Hulk. It's a simple story of sorts that you can't just hate. I really really liked Incredible, I enjoy it more than IM. Cuz it was just everything one could want out of a Hulk flick.

I disagree with your assessment of Fillion (and Castle!), but you're correct that he's wrong for this part. However, somebody put a fan made trailer together for a live action GL film with him as the lead - now that is a good fit!

Alexander Skarsgard from Generation Kill. I think a few people on the thread for that show agreed with this choice.

I still think Aaron Eckhart would make an awesome Captain America. It doesnt matter if he's old.
