This from Deadline.com:

"I've learned that Marvel Studios and director Joe Johnston are ready to test candidates for Captain America, and I’ve got their wish list. I’m told that the contenders include Chace Crawford, John Krasinski, Scott Porter, Mike Vogel and Michael Cassidy. They also wanted Garrett Hedlund, but he so far hasn’t made a test deal."

FINALLY! Concrete news! This debunks a few of the past rumors. Nikki goes on to talk about the salary for the actor who gets the role being at $300,000 for the first movie, but get this, the actor who gets the gig has to sign on for a nine picture deal! That's a total of ten films with at least a Captain America cameo in it, obviously including The Avengers!

Here are the actors.

Chace Crawford


John Krasinski


Scott Porter


Mike Vogel


Michael Cassidy


Garrett Hedlund is also in the hunt.


Go tell your Momma the good Captain will be around for awhile!

UPDATED: A source over at schofizzymoviereview.blogspot.com is saying that he has been sitting on the rumor that John Krasinski has the Captain America role all but officially locked in. Meaning John is the Man! No official confirmation but stay tuned for further announcements!

I just read this article. Good to see they are acknowledging something! Never thought about Mike Vogel. The others just don't do it for me. Hedlund, maybe. Not liking the Krasinski idea at all.

Good find!
RorMachine - 2/24/2010, 12:24 PM
GRRRRR..that was so close..I mean seconds!.. great stuff dude:)

I have absolutely no idea who any of them are!
BillyBlack - 2/24/2010, 12:25 PM
John Krasinski? Please say you're kidding.
DCMarvelFreshman - 2/24/2010, 12:26 PM
I can't wait til everyone finds out who it is.
captainBOOMerang - 2/24/2010, 12:29 PM
john krasinky???? WTF WITH A EFFING BIG OLD GIANT F!
Gmoney84 - 2/24/2010, 12:29 PM
I think this report is BS.
InTylerWeTrust - 2/24/2010, 12:29 PM
Chace Crawford?! Are you joking? The dude looks like a 15 year old wimpy prep boy, and his acting sucks.

Krasinski?! He's great on the Office (and he should be Blue Beetle) but Cap? No f*cking way.

Porter? Eh, maybe he could be good. But he looks and sounds a little too boyish.

Vogel? He looks decent for the role, but I've only seen him in Cloverfield, and he didn't show anything special in that movie.

And I don't know who Michael Cassidy is.

Thumbs down to this list. But I would accept Hedlund in the role (though I feel he's more suited to Winter Soldier and Bucky Cap)

Multi: :)

Garrett Hedlund is my choice out of the picks

CorndogBurglar - 2/24/2010, 12:32 PM
who are these clowns?? oh well, i guess relative unknowns are what i was hoping for.

@ tyler

who did Vogel play in Cloverfield??? i'm trying to picture him
EdGross - 2/24/2010, 12:32 PM
Don't forget about the Joe Johnston interview regarding Captain America over at Earths Mightiest. Just click on the the image below.


InTylerWeTrust - 2/24/2010, 12:33 PM
CDB: He was the main character's brother. He was the one who got owned by the monster on the bridge.
foxfan - 2/24/2010, 12:34 PM
oh no, this list is a bit scary. jensen ackles sounds REAL good right about now lolz
RorMachine - 2/24/2010, 12:34 PM
I guess when he said unknown he meant it! My Goodness. Ok, is..who...who are they! I think we need some pics up here Jman
Diamond1995 - 2/24/2010, 12:34 PM
All are good (except for the John guy). It's really weird how they always must have a 'bullshit' guy on the wishlist. Maybe they put him on the list just to make the others look better. Oh and is it me or does Chace Crawford look like Zac Efron?
LEEE777 - 2/24/2010, 12:34 PM
ARMIE HAMMER FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA!! ; D



Hey, close enough! : P

=



And RYAN McPARTLIN!!!

Though i like this SCOTT PORTER!
BryEL - 2/24/2010, 12:36 PM
Mien Gott, nine films? For real? Jesus, man, I wonder how many sequels Avengers will get in general..
RinjoClans - 2/24/2010, 12:37 PM
i dunno, this list is OK, but with all the rumors, i wont be convinced of who is actually cast until i see the first trailer, but this is coming from the guy who didn't believe mickey rourke was in iron man 2 up until about 2 months ago
Ryden - 2/24/2010, 12:37 PM
Vogel looks the part, haven;t seen much of his acting though. Garret Hedlund isn;t such a bad choice.
Diamond1995 - 2/24/2010, 12:40 PM
LEEE777: Dude get over it. Armie isn't on the wish list. So there is little to no chance he'll get the part. You seem like the type of fan who will cause a fit when the actor you want isn't cast.
Breasticles7 - 2/24/2010, 12:41 PM
LMFAO 2 OF MY GUYS ARE ON THERE :D
jman1977 - 2/24/2010, 12:43 PM
Here you go Ror, pics up, CHECK! Still trying to figure out how John Krasinski made the list Deadline got from Joe and Marvel. CHECK CHECK
Ranger14 - 2/24/2010, 12:44 PM
Scott Porter and Hedlund would be my top choices if that is the list to choose from. Krasinski shocks the hell out of me.
ecksmanfan - 2/24/2010, 12:45 PM
NINE FILMS!!! Looks like Marvel's got more going than they are telling us.

P862010 - 2/24/2010, 12:47 PM
here is the Choices :

Garret Hedlund


Scott Porter


John Krasinski


Mike Vogel


Michael Cassidy


Chase Crawford


InTylerWeTrust - 2/24/2010, 12:48 PM
Hedlund is the only one up there I'd actually give a good shot. Porter's okay, but he just doesn't seem like Cap material. The rest, God, if these are really the finalists, I'd be scared shitless to find out who the guys that didn't make it were :(

I mean, Chace Crawford. Chace Crawford!
Diamond1995 - 2/24/2010, 12:49 PM
wait I heard that this 'wish list' actually began at www.heatvisionblog.com

That right there sounds like somebody trying to start a fake rumor.
CorndogBurglar - 2/24/2010, 12:51 PM
@ tyler

oh right on, i haven't seen him act in anything other than cloverfield, and he wasn't in it all that much.

i have no comment on any of these people. but i'd rather it be like that than having some big name actor that i hate from the get go.
HannibalSmith - 2/24/2010, 12:51 PM
Crap.
WingPow - 2/24/2010, 12:52 PM
you guys got this all wrong...

The most important thing for Cap' is acting ability. Muscles can be bulked.. even the most cock-eyed of lookers can be sold as Cap' if they can act. Hold your tongues y'all.

Remember the shit show that came about when Ledger was picked as The Joker? No one ever suspected he could transform the way he did. Give it a chance to see what surfaces..
ManOfIron - 2/24/2010, 12:52 PM
Man, I'm a HUGE Krasinski fan. I love the office. ... BUT... he's a choice completely out of left field.... HOWEVER, after really REALLY thinking it over and opening my mind, I could actually see it. Granted, that nose may pose some problem. But I think he has what it takes to pull off an up and coming leader. He could play innocent/intimidated when given a huge task like leading the team. idk the more i think about it the more pros i see... but the cons are just as much. so weird. lol like wow. hmm.... I wonder when we'll get OFFICIAL word. soon i hope.... i can't see any of them really though. But he's the biggest name i see of them all. Idk... let it settle.
BillyBlack - 2/24/2010, 12:53 PM
Jebus this is really making me hate the casting rumor mill.

Are they auditioning for a fkn boy band, or are they making a Captain America film?
Ryden - 2/24/2010, 12:53 PM
Chace Crawford all the way!!!


......jk....:D

Seriously though the only one I can see is Hedlund, the rest espeically Crawford and Office-boy can Get TO [frick]

ManOfIron - 2/24/2010, 12:54 PM
maybe Cassidy lol now that i look at him
yowsaman - 2/24/2010, 12:54 PM
mike vogel or hedlund are top choice.

rest i have my doubts.

john krasinski... come on.. he's no cap. i really cant see him playing the roll.
LEEE777 - 2/24/2010, 12:56 PM
HEDLUND or PORTER not the [frick]ing OFFICE GUY!!!!!!!!
ecksmanfan - 2/24/2010, 12:56 PM
Vogel had a decent part in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot that came out a few years ago. He wasn't terrible. I've seen Hedlund in a few flicks and he was pretty good. The others...not so much. Too pretty for Cap or in Krasinski's case...NOT CAP AT ALL!
thehumantorch - 2/24/2010, 12:59 PM
where did Multi's article about Cap JUST vanish to???
Breasticles7 - 2/24/2010, 1:00 PM
@LEEE totally with you on that one.
TheHulk63 - 2/24/2010, 1:04 PM
I think Krasinki is a good actor and maybe with a big bulk could play him just on his 40's look. That being said I hope some DC guys see this and decide to cast him as the flash ... just to get the ball rolling on that film!
RorMachine - 2/24/2010, 1:04 PM
Nope, I'd take Krazinski over that metrosexual Hedlund any day
airbeyonder18 - 2/24/2010, 1:04 PM
Scott Porter is my choice for the look of Captian America.
phenomenon - 2/24/2010, 1:05 PM
@billyblack....... absolutely right!! I am not kidding(seriously), but I read the headlines and saw the pics, and I thought this was about a parody of captain america..... like scary movie or something...... hell than even I would be better for the job!!! these guys make as much impression as Michael jackson on a free fight show!

and one more thing that I can't figure out, if one of these guys is chosen..... where do they hide their diapers in that tight suit!!lol
cap anorexia goes boyband!!
TANKGIRL - 2/24/2010, 1:11 PM
scott porter or garret hundled
MovieTheaterLad - 2/24/2010, 1:14 PM
Scott Porter all the way.
Ranger14 - 2/24/2010, 1:15 PM
We do know that they are going with an "unknown", so this shouldn't shock anyone as to the credentials of those listed. Vogel at 5'10 doesn't cut it for me, when they can cast someone that is closer to the physical build. I know...I know..they can work with the height thing.

wingpow@ Don't we want someone who does look somewhat like Cap? Acting is very important, but the look should be as well. Krasinski is way out in left field. His schnauzer should disqualify him immediately. Sorry...I call it like I see it I was one who was ecstatic that Ledger got the role of Joker and never doubted his ability to carry it out. I guess I was more familiar with his acting ability than others and with the part of the Joker, the makeup takes the "look" part out of it for the most part.
airbeyonder18 - 2/24/2010, 1:15 PM
@Tankgirl: Those are my picks too. but I think Scott looks a little bit more like Cap. I just don't know how well their acting is.
LEEE777 - 2/24/2010, 1:18 PM
WTF, where did this article go, i posted in THOR lol!!!

: P
LEEE777 - 2/24/2010, 1:21 PM
I think i like PORTER that much more, HEDLUND still screams WINTER SOLDIER to me! ; P





Still both are good!

P.S. [frick] the office guy!!! : P
Shaman - 2/24/2010, 1:23 PM
Actually, Porter was pretty decent in Speed Racer so he's the only one out of this list that makes an ounce of sense. But NO ONE on this list or on the previous one, beats Jensen Ackles!!! Click on the pic to find out why ;)










LEEE777 - 2/24/2010, 1:27 PM
And ARMIE HAMMER!! ; D
