     This is what the casting call really looks like...
     This is what the casting call really looks like...
    Tidbits about the Captain America movie are just flying around today like so many spent bullets ricocheting off an indestructible shield. Earlier today, I let you know that John Buckley is rumored to play Bucky Barnes and, now, we’ve got the film’s official synopsis for its casting call from featurefilmcasting.com.

    Without further ado, the synopsis plays like this…

    Born during the Great Depression, Steve Rogers grew up a frail youth in a poor family. Horrified by the newsreel footage of the Nazis in Europe, Rogers was inspired to enlist in the army. However, because of his frailty and sickness, he was rejected.  Overhearing the boy’s earnest plea, General Chester Phillips offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in a special experiment… Operation: Rebirth. After weeks of tests, Rogers was at last administered the Super-Solider Serum and bombarded by ‘vita-rays.’  Steve Rogers emerged from the treatment with a body as perfect as a body can be and still be human. Rogers was then put through an intensive physical and tactical training program.  Three months later, he was given his first assignment as Captain America. Armed with his indestructible shield and battle savvy, Captain America has continued his war against evil both as a sentinel of liberty and as leader of the Avengers.


     How Krasinski as the RED SKULL?
     How Krasinski as the RED SKULL?
    Well, there’s nothing there that’ll surprise even the newest, most novice, most green Cap fan. I’d say it’s probably about the same as what you’ll find in our Captain America profile here.  There’s no mention of Bucky, nor the Invaders, nor even the Red Skull or any other possible villain. The last sentence would seem to suggest that we’ll get to see Cap freeze, unfreeze and then lead the Avengers within the movie, though. But, maybe not.  Nothing’s certain in this world, is it?

    The good news is that if you’re in LA and go through the right channels, the info for the casting call’s right there. Supposedly they’re going to announce who will be playing Cap within a week. Will it be John Krasinski? Or a dashing unknown?

    I'd want Seth Macfarlane to play him, but looking back on his role in Inglorious Bastards, Waltz would be an ideal choice.

    It's not a choice I would have come up with, but if he's cast as any Marvel hero, Ant Man makes the most sense. Especially since the rumor was they were originally thinking to make him a slightly comedic character. If they take it the more Ultimates route, though, it'd be interesting seeing him try something more intense than his previous work.

    @cmaprice:  I think John has the potential to be a really good, dramatic actor. So if they do make a funny side to Ant-Man, I'd rather them include his violent persona, like his violent relationship with Wasp. It's not a topic I like, but it would be very good to see on-screen, especially in a comic movie,  It will do great to raise awareness about that sorta stuff.

    I want Jensen Ackles.  This is my own personal problem, but I have become so in grained with the idea of Jensen Ackles being Cap; that I can say without certainty that I will be one depressed SOB if it is not him. 

     

    I can admit I have a problem, LOL!  First step to recovery!

    Sorry, but I just read on the site of SuperHero Hype, that the rumor about the synopsis of the film of Captain America is not true. This was indicated by Marvel Studios, who assure us that they  will let us know when the Studios releases the official synopsis for the film.

    I doubt we will see him lead the avengers in the film, maybe after the credits we see him in a block of ice with Nick Fury staring at him. "Alright folks, heat him up"

    Darn. I liked that synopsis. I guess the real one is going to be:
    'Frail Steve Rogers joins Operation: Rebirth and becomes super soldier Captain America, but is sent to the USO to be a clown!
    What a twwwwiiisssst!!'
