    Character » Captain America appears in 11752 issues.

    During World War II, Steve Rogers volunteered to receive the experimental Super-Soldier Serum.

    We're all waiting to hear who will be cast as Steve Rogers, Captain America. Originally it was said casting would be completed by March 1. Earlier today iesb.net reported that the choice had been narrowed down to three contenders: Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan and Channing Tatum. The Hollywood Reporter is now saying that Chris Evans has been offered the role.
     
    There has been no official confirmation from Marvel or the actor's representatives. The offer is said to include up to three Captain America movies, The Avengers movies along with appearances in other Marvel movies. Because this would guarantee him work for a while, you would think it'd be an easy decision to make. The problem is, Evans is apparently committed to co-star with Anna Faris in a romantic comedy called "What's Your Number?" and both are set to begin shooting this summer.
     
    Sure it might be weird to see Johnny Storm as Steve Rogers (plus he'll be in The Losers and Scott Pilgrim) but I don't think it's that big of a deal. We've already had Ryan Reynolds play Hannibal King in Blade Trinity as well as Deadpool and soon Hal Jordan. As a big Captain America fan, I would approve of this casting. Let's just hope that something can be worked out with his other movie commitment. Things didn't go well for Emily Blunt, who was originally a top contender to play Black Widow in Iron Man 2.

    If this is Marvel's choice then I'll trust them. After nailing Iron Man and Hulk, I don't think they'd mess up Captain America.

    Perhaps this'll work, but that's only if Human Torch gets replaced with someone else. I think the best choice so far is Channing Tatum, because he looks a little like Steve, is quite muscular and he's played GI Joe, and the one thing that GI Joe and Capt.  America have in common, is that they're both REAL AMERICAN HEROES!!!!

    I still cannot get off Chris Pine playing Captain America, but this it to me the best guy to play Captain America out of the three choices. Lets get this movie going.

    He isn't the perfect choice, 
    but I also think he is a much better choice than the rest of his competitors.

    if Evans gets the ROle it would be SOOO Whack... not the Movie... but it would still be whack
     
    i was ok with Ryan being DP... even tho he was Hannibal King... cuz.. i mean its Hannibal King...
    but when he accepted the role as GL i was annoyed now Chris Evans will be Cap/Loser/and Torch.... WHACK...
    and u kno what
    Robert Downey JR should Play as ANT-MAN...
    and Ryan Reynolds should play Flash... and His Sidekick Kid Flash should be Chris Evans
    and Wesley SNipes should be Black Panther...
    Christian Bale should be the next Superman
    then Ryan Reynolds should be HAwkeye  
    Brandon Routh should be Visions
    Scarlet Witch should be Scarlett Johansson 
    and Tobey McGuire should be Quicksilver

    Not bad, not outstanding. Was hoping they would go for a complete unknown or someone younger but I just want them to make this movie already. Evans always has a certain "cocky attitude" in almost all the movies I have seen him in.

    I just hate how they offer all comic book roles to a small select group of actors.  If they ever wanted to do a Cap America/ Fantastic Four crossover movie or any movie in which the characters would come across one another, what then?  I mean casting Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool AND Green Lantern is one thing (considering they're from two separate universes) but one actor playing two Marvel roles at the same time doesn't sit well w/ me for some reason.

    He could be really good as Cap, and after seeing him in Sunshine as the guy who got things done and made the decisions others didn't want to make... I have faith in his ability. He's a much better choice than the other two. Haha.
