no wrestlers or any other athlete and please for the love of god no will smith

(Off-Topic) I always thought that the "A" on his forehead stood for Avengers.

I´d like to see Paul Walker.

there are some wrestlers who could pull it off with the right person behind the camera, but people do tend to look at wrestler movies as jokes.
 and i agree with the unknown actor idea. someone we can look at without thinking of other roles or anything. That was the one really fantastic idea employed by Superman Returns (well, that an Spacey).
 
 it shouldn't be that hard though. Scower the High school/ College sports teams for square jawed blue eyes beefcakes and then see which of them can act.

Hm ...
Chad Michael Murray :D 
 

I'm just glad to hear there's at least some news regarding the movie getting off the ground.  Heck 2 Da Yas.

Aaron Eckhart i think wud av bin gud but hes harvey dent, nt sure bout matt mchonley, otha thn that, it shudnt be any1 bigger thn those 2. No wrestlers please either. It shud be an unknown who can act, willing to stay on for future movies and have the correct build and shape, no blond haired blue eyed nancy boy.

" And you have to admit the man does have the physical shape to pul off Steve Rogers and the presence to stand in a room with Downey and Jackson and not be overshadowed.     "

"@weapon x badazz: You do relize that Cap is blonde and has blue eyes? "

" Yes I agree an unknown would be best for Cap. I believe Cap should be handled like the first Superman movie was, like how they cast Christopher Reeve. "

I think unknowns should be cast for comic movies.  People forget that Superman made Christopher Reeve, an that Hugh Jackman was relatively unheard of before X-Men.   "

Yea i know tht i ment the blond haired blue eyed person  needs to be strong looking, no baby faced poofs like tha guy a few posts above lol, an yea am black b4 any1 has a go but PLEASE NO WILL SMITH that wud just not be right really "

I once heard someone suggest  John Barrowman(Capt. Jack Harkness from Dr. Who/Torchwood), and aside from age and being Scottish, I couldn't think of a good reason to disagree. Especially with him having played a blond-haired, blue-eyed singing Nazi in the movie version of The Producers. That'd just be hilarious.

NO BIG NAME ACTORS, PUHHHHHLEASE.   
 
big names work for stark, banner, i guess ill admit to spiderman to.  But Cap?  Essentially he's always represented more than the pretty anglo face underneath, therefore the weak sauce pretty big name actor shouldn't define the movie. 
 
That said it would be sick as typhoid to have a black captain america from harlem.

I don't care who they get, but I really hope we see a sleek, agile Cap versus a muscular powerhouse.  Really hope they adjust the costume accordingly, too.   
 
Did I miss an update, or wasn't this film scheduled for release in 2011?  Don't see how that's possible if they won't start shooting until summer.

I think Worthington could pull it off. Saw Avatar yesterday, and he was pretty good in that, not to mention Terminator Salvation. Skarsgard and Paul Walker also seem like good choices. The actor they picked for Thor might have also made a good Cap, but we'll see how he does with the God of Thunder.
 
I agree that the actor playing cap doesn't necessarily have to be a complete unknown either. Then again, with the amount of money studios shell out for these flicks, they might be looking for a box office draw or something.

I know people think casting 'unknowns' is going to be all good and stuff. And your using Hugh Jackman as an example ...
 
But part of the fame of the X-Men Movie was the casting of Halle Berry, Famke Yansen and Patrick Stewart. So I doubt they would risk casting a complete unknown for the sole-lead in Captain America.

If they start the movie off with a flashback...I CALL ISAIAH BRADLEY 

Sam Worthington

Oh....I believed that Big Ben Ryan was the choise... That guy is really Cap!

"Sam Worthington wants the role apparently....I say "give it to him" 
 

"

"Oh....I believed that Big Ben Ryan was the choise... That guy is really Cap! "

Yea I posted a video of him a while back. But he needs to work on his acting though. He has another video where he's trying to do a scene where he's talking to the soldiers.  If he works on his accent and his acting yeah he would be perfect. 
 
I always thought Howie Long would be a perfect choice for Cap . Hell even Alex Ross uses him as a base for his Cap artwork. Looking at my lifesize A.Ross Cap bust I do see it.

This is good news. I was beginning to think this movie was not going to be made.

Easy mistake to make, but it can't be because he had the A on his forehead before Avengers creator Stan Lee ever joined Marvel. 
 
I'd like to see Channing Tatum play the role.  He was the star of G.I. Joe and Fighting and he is great at the action scenes, is really buff and fit to play the role, and can play a soldier with Cap's personality well (especially Ultimate Cap, which appears to be who the movie is portraying).  But he could portray regular Cap too.

HERE HERE I AGREE, and I like his style not to old and not to young.  Most importantly I think he would be able to pull off a believable Steve Rogers as well as the American Hero Cap "
