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

After a failed mission left him encased in ice for decades, he was found and revived by the Avengers, later joining their ranks and eventually becoming the team's leader.
Petition To Remove Chris Evans As Captain America
This topic is locked from further discussion.
This has got to be the worst casting since Chris Evans was cast as Johnny Storm in the FF abominations. This guy is going to F up Marvel Films worse than Ben Affleck and Nick Cage put together. Please someone who knows Cap and wants this movie to be believable and watchable post your replies here. I am so bummed out by this! I need moral support. This jokester doofus is not a believable super soldier, or the leader of the Avengers! Stop the insanity now! Marvel, please don't waste your money making this movie if this guy is the lead. It cannot work. We need a new Cap now!
It sounds like you're basing your opinions off of only the Fantastic Four films. Have you seen any of his other work?
" I want to petition to have this thread locked or deleted. "Come on mods and/or staff... lets make it happen!
" This is rediculous. He was the best part of the FF movies. I totally agree with him being Steve Rogers. I would choose him to be Steve Rogers over Ryan Reynolds being Hal Jordan and i love Ryan Reynolds and think hes a great actor. I think they made an excellent choice. "Completely agree.
I didn't liked FF, the cast was weak, and i can't imagine Evans as Captain America. Hope i'm wrong and he´s great.
He has been in another crap superhero movie besides the FF called Push so I have seen his work, and how the hell can this dude hold his own on the screen with Rob Downey and Ed Norton. Not another teen movie sucked too. He's a garbage choice. No one over 18 can relate to this dope!
I remember a few years back when people tried to petition to have Heath Ledger off of Dark Knight because "a pretty-boy could NEVER play the Joker."

yea i was all for Heath Ledger playing the joker. I didnt thikn he was gonna be as amazing as he was but i still thought he wouldbe good and supported him the whole time.
dude, why not have christian bale play cap? or hugh jackman. Superhero movies can't keep spitting out "a proven actor" in a new superhero role. That is why Thor will be better than Cap. Mark my words. They'd be way better off with an unknown. This kid is way too jokey. Cap is a no nonesense soldier. This dude is a dorky wisecracker. I'll bet half these posts are from his team of publicists. How's he gonna lead the avengers with that persona??? I've been waiting for this movie ever since the ed norton hulk movie mentioned it. I even have the shield they show in iron man as my desktop. how many of you even read cap anymore.

If so than u should def take a look at his acting resume'. Now I am not saying that he would be a perfect cap but im willing to bet that his performance will be good. Heck Marvel and movie execs knows that since The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man people expect so much more from movies based on comics. And if its bad, we will blog and comment until they relent ie (Spiderman reboot)

You play a role one way, then when you get a new movie, you play a role a different way. One role calls for a laid back, irresponsible "wisecracker" and another role requires a serious leader type personality. You would be surprised how many actors can juggle this task.

I dont like the fact of Chris Evans playing Cap either, buuuut I'm sure Marvel knows what they're doing. People are expecting alot from them in Thor and Cap after the success of Incredible Hulk and Iron Man (and soon Iron Man 2!!!).. Have faith in Marvel, if they let us down, then F*CK 'EM!. lol.
"That is my point about Zac Efron as Spider-Man.I remember a few years back when people tried to petition to have Heath Ledger off of Dark Knight because "a pretty-boy could NEVER play the Joker."

i only think chris evans should not be captain america cause i would much rather it be John Krasinski; a god among men
In all seriousness, though, watch "Sunshine." You should watch it anyway, but Chris Evans is really good in it. He's an actor, if you want him to play a goofy guy like Johnny Storm, he'll do it. That doesn't mean he'll always act like that, or he can't do serious roles.
Don't worry, Captain America will be great. And if it isn't, you can just ignore it and act like it doesn't exist (like we all do with 90% of existing comic book movies).
" @SandwichTank said:well he is gob-ish, okay, but i honestly think given the chance he could do justice to the role even if he is portrayed as the funny guy all the time on the office, i can see Jim dawning the shield. my friend said he was being considered for the role but i was pretty sure he was full of it. it got me thinking though" i only think chris evans should not be captain america cause i would match rather it be John Krasinski; a god among men "God or gob? "

" Chris Evans sux!!! Stop blowing him!!!!! "How is this even relevant to the topic? You hate the actor because you don't see him playing Cap. Yay for you. So because we don't agree with you, we are "blowing" him? Can we get a lock now? =D

This is just stupid I mean yeah I wasn't too impressed at first but I've got used to the idea and I think he is a fairly good pic for Cap so just settle down mate and maybe look at some of the other awesome movies Chris Evans has been in.
