Evans as Cap? Ugh, Marvel.

Posted in Off Topic

Darn it guys, really? Same universe! Not a great actor! Not a character that can pull off more a good 1+ 1/2 movies from!
Knowing this Marvel, now making their own movie decisions, chooses THIS guy?

Cheap? Check. Talented? Meh. I realize they've casted talented actors Macguire, Downey, Norton...but Marvel like everyone else, wants a hit, right? I have(or HAD) a great cast for Captain America: Paul Walker! Looks, quasi talent(Not unlike Evans) But a more mature, soldier look. Now don't get me started on how soldiers should look. I realize we as a nation have been knee deep in a $#!tty war and our soldiers look like everyone in our country. But this isn't about our real heroes, this is about Steve Rogers- blond pretty boy(I guess, it's how they draw him)

I'm really disappointed- in another site people vented about how Marvel must not be taking this seriously. While personally I don't find Cap an interesting enough character to make a lucrative succession of movies from, I do believe that his origin story along w/some scenes of his future(meeting the Avengers) would make for a truly dope flick.

Do u see Evans ordering strategy tactics to Downey and co. in an Avengers movie? Sure it would be funny, but I don't think that would be the desired effect. Actually I really don't see that Avengers movie ever happening...but that's another story.

Evans as Johnny Storm is bigger than Reynolds as Hannibal King then Wade Wilson. The masses have no clue who DP is; but even fans dunno about King! The torch is now more known due 2 the flicks and the fact that Torch was a central figure.

Man, I do hope Marvel's lackeys are watching...not just 2 me 'cause it really seems my sentiment is shared by many a folk.

I'D LIKE 2 HEAR WHAT U GUYS HAVE TO SAY!

Haha... yeah, funny reading this in retrospect since at this point I think most people couldn't see anyone other than Evans as Cap. His role as the Human Torch from the first two FF movies is practically ancient history.

I personally don't think he would be the best choice, but I think we should hold judgment until after we see the movie for the sake of fairness. he might surprise us.

When I heard Evans was casted as Cap I thought it was a joke! But then I kept reading and hearing that it was true and thought "How can he be Cap when hes already established as Torch?" I think his acting skills (lol) are better suited as a smart a$$ then a front line leader. I haven't seen Push or Losers so maybe he has an unknown well of talent to pull from but I highly doubt it.

I can dig that choice. He is, however too old. He'd play a seasoned Cap not the origin story Cap.

Sorry, man. I admit that I only looked @the first 3 novie topics 2 make sure I wasn't duplicating anything...and I didn't see your topic.
lol no its cool I actually posted it in the big NEW MOVIE INFO thread I just wanted to bust your balls cause word on the street is I am a @$$hole Monster

Aaron Eckhart was BORN to be Cap, the Dark Knight only confirmed that.
