Remlik, other comics fans, are you seeing the story that the role of Captain America is John Krasinski's to lose?

Posted by Stephen (aka Sceire) Mar 9 '10, 10:46

My gut reaction is that this is the wrong choice. He just doesn't scream "Captain America" to me.

Responses:

thats pretty much the worst comic book movie news I've heard since Spiderman was going to go Twilight -- nm - Jovian Mar 9, 10:58
Good lord, there are some terrible casting directors in Hollywood. -- nm - David Mar 9, 10:56 1
- Ryan McPartlin! -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 10:57
Wow that's bad. -- nm - MDH Mar 9, 10:53
He kind of fits the "before" idea more than the actual hero. - Reagen Mar 9, 10:51 2
- hah. What's he going to turn into? Irony Man? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 10:54 1
  - heh-heh... -- nm - Diva Mar 9, 11:14
I've seen him in lists, I think he'd be a great skinny Steve Rogers and he can always pack muscle on... - Remlik Mar 9, 10:51 2
- heh, yeah, the first part is right; great skinny steve rogers. That's about as far as it goes, IMO :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 10:53 1
  - at this point I totally agree, but I could see him packing on muscle and traning for it. it all just depends. -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 10:55
Wow, what a crummy choice. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 10:50
It's against his persona for sure -- nm - Roger More Mar 9, 10:48 16
- That, and I just don't think he has the right looks for the part either. - Stephen Mar 9, 10:52 15
  - C'mon...he's a smartass in a show about an office..of course he's perfect for a strong-jawed super soldier. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 10:57 14
    - so give Sam Worthington more dialect coaching and call it a day -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 10:59 13
      - He's work in look...I think Awesome from Chuck has the look; Mark Valley is too old but perfect look - Will Hunting Mar 9, 11:01 12
        
        Valley would be a perfect "older" Cap. - musubi Mar 9, 11:37
        
        agreed. I almost think they should rewrite the story to make Mark Valley work :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 11:02 7
        
        they could even do what they did in Ghost Rider, cast a young guy as Rogers, and then an older guy as Cap. -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 11:06 6
        
        heh, this is what I just posted on the Marvel link on Facebook. - Stephen Mar 9, 11:31
        
        I never watched Ghost Rider ... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 11:10 4
        
        Worst comic movie of the recent crop imo. Just a horrid movie. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 11:29 2
        
        Elektra would like to have a word with you. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 11:32 1
        
        I never saw that one. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 11:40
        
        it's not terrible but not great. Just middling. C+ at best. -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 11:12
        
        Awesome said he's tested for it. He'd look great as Cap AND Steve -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 11:02 2
        
        And he's *already* a captain! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 11:02
        
        Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 11:02
I agree with your IM, I think. But he could be looking for a shift in his image. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 10:48
