Chris Evans has just been cast as Steve Rogers/Captain America. superherohype.com/news/captainamericanews.php?id=9193Hugo Weaving (voice of Megatron from TF movies) is playing the Red Skull, Cap's German nemesis. Not 100% sure on the casting (wouldv'e preferred Benicio Del Torres as Red Skull, personally) but happy that GI Joe doofus isn't playing Cap. Evans is charismatic and likeable enough to work for me.

I can live with Evans as Cap, he is likable, but would have been interesting to see Kasi ski from the Office or Jensen Ackles from Supernatural try it. Glad it not Tatum! A few years back I'm sure Pitt would have been the go too guy.
So Evans, Jackson,Downey jr, johannson and possibly norton for the Avengers movie so far , not bad eh?

Or George Kirk for those of you pretending to be too cool to know what I'm talking about - he's playing some Norse god or other in a film next year...

He's playing the God of Golfing, coz they scream his name before taking a shot.
"THOR!!!"
Evans should have good chemistry with RDJ, Jackson and Norton. Haven't seen him in anything except comedies and F4 so dunno if he can pull off serious leading man, but lightyears ahead of Channing.
BRING ON THE CAP ACTION FIGURES!

Oh yeah, forgot about Daddy Kirk, Still think Sgarsgard, Eric in True Blood and the lead in Generation kill would be better as Thor, but what do i know bout Hollyweird!!

Not too happy about Evans playing Cap, to be honest.
He was ok as Johnny Storm, but not brilliant - what about the guy who played James T., Chris Pine?

Pine was one of my top choices too, but it needed to be someone who could pull off being amongst RDJ and Norton, charisma-wise, and Pine's still new at the lead star gig.
I think it all kinda hinges on Evans' haircut and costume at this point. He could either end up being perfect or completely wrong, depending on those two elements.

Evans as cap is an interesting and bizzare choice imo. Jensen Ackles looks like cap but I don't hink personally he has the acting chops, never seen supernatural but seen him in smallville and he was pretty weak. It's highly unusual not to see Pitt as Cap or Thor, his age may be against him here. Matt Damon might've pulled off Cap but Marvel hasn't made any bogey choices on leading actors yet that I can think of . Evans will be interesting, will he be a wise ass guy like Torch or will he be totally serious?Time will tell. I'm delighted Channing Tatum and Will Smith didn't get the role.
Hugo Weaving as Skull,I've no complaints, the man is a fine actor and will bring it. He's been the biggest baddies around now the last couple of years as Mr.Smith and as Aberline(possible new wolfman) and of course the evil Megatron. Hugo will do the business. Chris Evans isn't fully signed yet so there still could be yet another Stuart Townesend on the cards if Marvel don't think he's suited.
Alot hinges on the haircut and costume to make him different and recognizable. I hope he does well.

I think Damon's too stocky and short-necked for it. Jensen Ackles is awesome but if anything he'd be my choice to be the Flash.
Pitt ten or more years back wouldv'e been awesome. When he was in his 20's he was my pick for Superman too. He's too old now though.
