Comment RSSWho Will Play Captain America?
13.03.10 # News # 24 Comments
The rumoured front runner for the role of Captain America, John Krasinski, has been ruled out. I, like everyone else, thought Krasinski an odd choice. It’s not surprising that Marvel are actually targeting someone a little more blond haired and blue eyed. Marvel have reportedly narrowed it down to three actors, Chris Evans, Mike Vogel, and Garrett Hedlund.
Chris Evans is the best known of the three, from his role in the Fantastic 4 movies. He also put in a good performance in Danny Boyle’s Sunshine.
Mike Vogel‘s most notable role was in Cloverfield, but he also starred as chainsaw fodder in the surprisingly ok Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake.
Garrett Hedlund is probably the least known of the three, for now. He could potentially be the Sam Worthington of this year as he is the star of Tron Legacy, which is suddenly hotly anticipated after the release of the new trailer.
So which of this Aryan trio do you think they should pick for the role? and yes they are different people, not just different haircuts.

Casting call for Johnny Flame? All suitable. Captain America? You’ve got to be kidding.
How did they come up with this list? I’ve read a few Captain America graphic novels over the years and none of these guys would come to mind.
And the movie is from the director of The Wolfman. Lord help us.
Garett Hedlund hands down!!!!
Deadline Hollywood reckon no actors are keen to sign up for a $300k pay day with a further option for up to nine (count ‘em!) sequels. Personally, it’s a contract I could live with, and I await Wolfy Joe’s call.
Yeah I couldn’t see any of these guys playing cap.If these would read the comics they would see that Steve Rogers is muscular,Blonde haired, and blue eyed.So why don’t don’t they go search in Germany instead of considering these pretty beach boys.
Mike Vogel would be pretty good I think, the other two, not really.
I’m really glad to see Garrett Hedlund get a bit of recognition these days. He was awesome in Friday Night Lights, which is easily the best sports movie ever made.
If it’s an origins story, then Hedlund would be good because he’s got the looks and also the youthfulness. The other two look a bit too old for an origins story.
Other than that, I’m not sure. Captain needs to have chiseled looks, and the most chiseled out of these is Hedlund really.
We shall wait and see, I suppose.
Gotta agree with Simon. I’ve been a Marvel comics junkie for over 30 years and think that of the 3 front-runners that Garrett is would be the best pick. If he does end up getting the role of Cap he could become huge with Tron under his belt as well.
I guess we’ll see what happens, but that’s my vote.
i dont want any of them playing him… i dont know who i want but none of them came to mind when i thought of this movie
jensen ackles is the only way to go for captain america
none of the friggin’ above. no. no. no. no.
and no.
Mmm, I don’t think Jensen Ackles has had enough serious acting roles. He’s the best thing in Supernatural by a long shot, but I just can’t see him in a role which requires acting chops. I imagine they’ll try their damnedest to distance this Captain America from the Captain America of the 1990 movie, or even worse, the two made-for-tv-movies of the late 1970s. So it’ll probably be serious, and not very campy, and have undertones and messages about current global politics like all superhero movies do these days. I don’t know if Ackles can pull that off.
I think I miss the days whenever superheroes were simple, and fought crime because it was the right thing to do. I think that’s why I like The Spirit so much, and why I’m looking forward to The Green Hornet. I’m seriously holding out that the Green Lantern movie is a bit campy, because Ryan Reynolds is a funny guy, and it would give that character so much more personality. Tortured-soul superheroes are so standard these days. I preferred the Incredible Hulk whenever he was a bodybuilder in green paint.
“So why don’t don’t they go search in Germany instead of considering these pretty beach boys.”- Joker
Joker you are an idiot…ITS CALLED CAPTAIN AMERICA and you want some german guy to play him? Do you sniff paint frequently?
Chris Evans is the only one I could tolerate on screen for an hour and thirty minutes…I don’t think Hedlund is a good actor or anything like cap…The other guy sucks ass like Joker.
Lets hope this doesnt end up like spider-man.
Hell yeah garrett hedlund is the best he should play him no one else
At least the guy they cast in the 1990 version looked the part:
Hope the rest of the movie won’t be worse than this.
