that was pretty funny. almost like a re-invention of Chris Farley's interview skits on SNL.

Patman

These B2FwZG are hilarious in a "that's so inappropriate" line of questioning.

Giantrobo

The guy from Star Trek who's now playing Thor would've been good.

OldBoy

Chris Pine. that's not bad, but CA, i think should be played a little older.

What about Adam Baldwin ? He was the main military guy that showed area 51 to the president in Independence Day. He was also the voice of Superman in the Superman/Doomsday animated movie.

devilshalo

It's kind of too bad he can't act....

MrSmearkase

Chris Hemsworth (Kirk's Dad) is playing Thor.

OldBoy

how bout Matt Salinger?

OldBoy

ahh.

fumanstan

Not Chris Pine. Chris Hemsworth.

EDIT: Oops, beaten.

MrSmearkase

How about Mark Valley?

Aaron Eckhart- already played a villain why not a hero.

or

Thomas Jane- again, already played kinda a super-hero in the crappy Punisher, but still...

captain america is going to need a big star or a well known actor as the lead. i always thought brad pitt could pull it off. he pulled off the greatest warrior in history in achilles, now he can pull off the greatest fighter in comics in cap.

NitroJMS

Pitt's like 15 years too old to play Captain America.

Solid Snake

Yeah, too old.

Brad Beyer was awesome on the Jericho TV series, and I always thought he looked like Cap for some reason.

Son of Odin

sorry, but cap is going to have to be as old as stark/downey jr's character for this to be believable going into the avengers movie. i don't see stark and thor taking orders from a kid that looks like he's in his twenties. it's not like pitt can't be made to look a little younger anyway for the origin scenes. if the cap movie is entirely about his origin though, it will fail because i don't see the avengers movie starting without knowing how and when cap was thawed out. i see him be thawed out during the current iron man/incredible hulk movie timeline where some of the story will take place. at the end of the cap movie, he must already be working with the government when he is approached by fury and stark. if the studios were thinking will smith, who ain't much younger than pitt.... i'm sure pitt can do it too.

He's only a "kid" in the original version of the story because he didn't age in the ice. They'd take orders from him because he was a national hero, which is why the first film is a period piece as it should not deal with any modern day scenes. And really, the first 3 original Avenger stories did not have Captain America in them and he wasn't made leader until a bit after they found him.

Things like fighting Red Skull, Baron Zemo, introducing Bucky and maybe the Invaders; that's all World War II stuff.

Son of Odin

seriously, know what you're talking about. the point of these marvel films is to lead to the Avenger's movie. everything must fit for it to make sense. there is only going to be ONE cap film before the avengers movie. marvel studios isn't following the exact "616" universe when doing iron man, incredible hulk, thor, cap and the avengers. the cap we should see for most of his movie and the avengers, will not be a kid from laguna beach or a kid in his twenties. if he is, huge mistake. a little cg will make pitt look young enough to pull of the origin scenes if need be. now, if they were going to do multiple cap movies set during WWII, before the avengers movie, i could see them using a kid. but they ain't doing that. the steve rogers in the avengers movie must be seasoned and experienced. they can't afford to cast a different actor for these two movies. also, i'll be fine with aaron eckhardt too.

gmanca

Uh, how did you refute what I was saying? A frozen Captain America after his film leads into an Avenger story where they form the group with him being thawed. And seeing as howl Tony Stark in the Iron Man film was near 40, you are saying that that Captain America should be that age in his film, and that's just wrong. He wasn't that old when he joined the SuperSoldier program, he was in his twenties. And there's always chances for prequels with period stories, so there can be more than one period piece even after he is thawed out.

I would worry more about the actor's abilities, the quality of the script, the director's talents and how the special effects are being done before I worry about the age of the actor.

B5Erik

Hmmmm... Adam Baldwin. Interesting. Even though he's a bit too old he still looks right, and I love the guy as an actor. That could work.

foofighters7

although they very well might go with a young up-and-comer, I think that would be a bad decision.

Sure, nerds will say (with sniveling nasal voice) "The REAL Capt America was younger! How dare they start him off at 40ish!"
BUT...Who really cares what the hardcore nerds think?..Answer...NOBODY!!!
Studios only care what the Casual nerd thinks, and the casual nerd simply doesnt care about the age.
I would much prefer a solid actor who fits a roundabout mold as opposed to a young hollywood punkbitch or some fresh-off-the-bus mid-western 'next sensation'.
Thats just me, but I think having a quasi-well known solid actor is a better bet.
having said that.
Brad Pitt? No I dont think so. #1- I think his plate is too full. too many films getting ready to go, and Capt America would be a fairly large endeavor.
#2- I would say they have to be known, but you dont need someone THAT big, I mean,, his face will be behind a mask most of the time.

Son of Odin

this film isn't thee big picture, it leads to the bigger kahuna. i never said he had to be 40. but he CAN'T be 20 -25 either. just have him look younger in the origin scenes. because i hope the entire film isn't an origin tale because that wouldn't give him time to grow into the cap that will be in the avengers movie. they're not only casting cap for this movie, but it must be the same actor for cap in the main avengers film. i don't see them using two different actors and recasting just because they wanted to tell cap's WWII stories in his solo film while not bridging the film to his more seasoned and experienced version in the avengers film. steve and tony in the marvel universe are roughly just years apart. so in the upcoming avengers movie, it wouldn't make sense for them to be so many years apart. i'm seeing the bigger picture. if they were just doing cap films, i would agree with going very young and doing all his WWII stories, but they're not. the bigger picture here is getting a cap that looks well molded enough to lead the likes of iron man, thor, hulk and company and that cap can't be younger than banner/norton, stark/downey, or the guy playing thor. that would look ridiculous.
