It wasn't until about...My freshman year in college that I really started getting into comics. A friend found a way to download them online and Marvel's Civil War had just ended, so I was able to catch up on the last major comic event and decide which ones I liked. In the course of that reading, I fell in love with Captain America.
Captain America's story is that of a young man who undergoes a radical treatment to try and serve his country. His powers are just a heightened sense of things and speed, and he is truly the ultimate male.
Well Cap's gonna have a movie in the next two years and he's yet to be cast. I looked at a suggestion board and saw some weird suggestions. Lemme give some of my thoughts on potential stars.
Mark Wahlberg- He is my favorite actor and I love Mark, but he's just too edgy. Cap is supposed to be dignified and idealistic but Mark is just too scary an individual.
Josh Duhammel- What has he ever done, I mean his biggest role was in Transformers and he wasn't a robot so I didn't care.
Aaron Eckhart- If Cap was older, absolutly and hell I wouldnt even mind if he was cast but I think he may be too old.
Jensen Ackles- Some dude from Supernatural? Ok....random
Matt Damon- I don't feel like he's big enough
Leonardo Dicaprio- One of my picks, but he'd need to put on lots of muscle
Brat Pitt- Absolutly up there in choices. The man is pretty much the biggest star in the world and the ultimate male in his own way
Daniel Craig- A sentimental favorite among me and my friends. If they were casting older, Daniel Craig mixes stoicism and toughness extremly well. Layer Cake was a great film and he was great in it.
As for my personal pick
Thomas Jane- He looks like Captain America and if the Punisher is any indication then he just dives himself into his roles and really lives it. He has the Cap look and maybe he'll be cast

I enjoyed reading your post and found it comical. I myself have never been a fan of comic books. I love the movies that are based off of the Marvel comics and theme park rides that are based off of these characters. Someday soon I may have to force myself to read a comic book. i do enjoy the funny pages of the paper so I should be able to read a comic book
ReplyDeleteI think the perfect captain america is to old for the job. Bruce Willis would have been amazing in this role about 15 years ago right after die hard 2. He is that average guy who seems like he would do anything for his country with just enough cynicism to break through some pseudo-patriotic bs that he would face.
