Chris Evans is... CAPTAIN AMERICA? (if he wants to be)

Someone who perhaps exemplifies America better than Chris Evans.


Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Chris Evans has been offered the role of Captain America.

HR writes:

Sources tell us the actor, who once donned superhero garb in two "Fantastic Four" movies, has been offered the role of Captain America.

Marvel has not confirmed the development and CAA, which reps the actor, declined to comment.


While I really like Chris Evans, I'm not sure I agree with this possible casting choice. One, he has an air of youthfulness that really doesn't strike me as being mature enough for such a role. Two, he was already in the train wreck that was Fantastic Four. True, he was the best part--but still. There has to be someone else out there with a more mature screen presence.

  1. I read that Alex Ross recommended Jon Hamm. He'd be a fantastic Cap!

  2. wow, I had no idea who Jon Hamm was--just looked him up.

    he would be perfect!

    but alas, it's now official: Chris Evans IS Captain America.

    here's to hoping Joe Johnston doesn't screw this up like he has so very many other movies...
