With recent news putting John Krasinski, among others, out of the running for the elusive Captain America role, I thought it would be at least worth a look of what might have been. Forgive me if all you savvy CBM'ers have seen any rendition before of John suiting up the Red, White, and Blue.



After seeing this pic it feels like I have dogged a very big ear' d bullet.

Stay with what your good at John. Keep making us laugh on 'The Office'! As for Cap Chris Evens is now rumored to be in the running. Out of everyone that was left on the Marvel Movie Roundup's 'Wish List' I think Evens would nail the role. Guess we will just have to wait and see.

Many thanks to elguapo1 (you guys probably know him better as ElGuapo, the famous editor over at LatinoReview.com) over at Twitter for posting this pic.

Good Lord, that was one of the scariest moments in CBM history. I know now without a doubt that the Lord is my Shepperd and shall not forsake us in our moment of need. Amen ...

Those wings on his mask look a bit silly
ClaireLannister2016 - 3/10/2010, 2:35 PM
I bet he doesn't even need those wings. he can use his giant ears to fly around with
mobile1ph - 3/10/2010, 2:38 PM
Definitely for the best then. Speaking of which, I know a lot of people want Jensen Ackles ( did I spell that right) for Cap and I agree except for when I hear him speak. He sounds more like what Hawkeye should sound like and not Cap. I don't know, just saying.
JoshWilding - 3/10/2010, 2:40 PM
LMAO, I want to laugh but I'm still too horrified at the thought that this guy was nearly Captain America! :)

Guys, check out Part Two of my CABLE Fan Cast!!! Just click the link!!!
McLovin - 3/10/2010, 2:42 PM
mobile1ph - I'm with you man. That cocky/chip on his shoulder kind of attitude which seems to really be how he is, would be PERFECT for Hawkeye! Ryan McPartlin for Cap!!!!
longbowhunter - 3/10/2010, 2:47 PM
The only way I could see Krasinski as Steve Rogers would be pre super soldier serum. Even if he bulked up for the role I just imagine him always doing that akward eye contact thing he does on the Office.
InFamouslyCool - 3/10/2010, 2:53 PM
LOL.. just how i drew him.
AlexDeLarge87 - 3/10/2010, 2:56 PM
McLovin@ You got that right!:)
PurpleHaze92 - 3/10/2010, 3:01 PM

Talontd - 3/10/2010, 3:03 PM

InFamouslyCool - 3/10/2010, 3:19 PM
mobile1ph,

seriously? LOL
spiderman1985 - 3/10/2010, 3:29 PM
@Talontd maybe he could start out as Krasinski, then after serum, morph into Evans..
McLovin - 3/10/2010, 3:31 PM
Talontd - I know you mean well, but please no more pics of shirtless dudes. Please!
Chris Evans is also wrong for the part for the same reason Ackles is wrong for the part. Having said that, they are still better than the other names I keep hearing. There are far too many "actors" (and I use the term loosely) that give me that "not so fresh feeling" that are up for this part. Having said that, there are also very few actors that could fit the part and have the acting chops to play Cap. Cap is not Superman or Batman, he will have a strong type A personality that commands attention and exudes confidence without coming across as an a-hole. I'm still hopeful that this guy is out there some where.
Nemesys - 3/10/2010, 3:33 PM
I just read an article in a local Tampa free paper called the Tampa Bay Times (TBT) that quoted our own Marvel Freshman on an interview he did with Dane Cook. He confirmed that Dane has already tried out for the part of Cap.

CBM.com is taking over the world !!!!
theartofoneness - 3/10/2010, 3:37 PM
Sad visionaries here
MarkV - 3/10/2010, 3:37 PM
I think Krasinski is just positioning himself by claiming to be looking for work elsewhere. Fingers crossed he will still be Cap!
peterparker420 - 3/10/2010, 3:39 PM
LOL..LMAO!!!..That's funny!
thwhtGuardian - 3/10/2010, 3:43 PM
He's not claiming anything mark V...he signed a two picture deal for a rom com that will keep him from being captain america. So it looks like we'll never get to see this:

TNTjesus - 3/10/2010, 3:47 PM
hahaha...thats great jman!

I knew Disney would ruin Marvel. Blending Captain America and Dumbo
thatiscrazy - 3/10/2010, 3:52 PM
thats just silly lol
ATOMbomb - 3/10/2010, 3:54 PM
Thank god, he didn't get the role. JENSEN FOR CAP!!
superdog - 3/10/2010, 4:03 PM
i dont know what this guy ever did to get so much hate from you guys. if you wanna hate on marvel for making a dumb choice thats fine, by why everyone is giving him shit for trying to get a role that any one would die for is beyond me.
evil40 - 3/10/2010, 4:10 PM
Who the hell even wanted this guy as Cap?????????
ClaireLannister2016 - 3/10/2010, 4:16 PM
This is how John Krasinski travels. lol
superdog - 3/10/2010, 4:18 PM
see again, people arent making fun of marvel thier making fun of krasinski for no reason. the guy is an actor and he was trying to get a part. thats what actors do. i just dont get the animosity. but hey, guesse thats just me.
evil40 - 3/10/2010, 4:18 PM
Hey, just throwin this out there, What about Andy Whitfield? I know hes Australian or something but has anyone considered this guy since they are expanding the search?
mpk1988 - 3/10/2010, 4:23 PM
@superdog : exactly my thots.. I mean.. he might be all wrong for Cap, but the poor guy doesn't deserve the hate.. n

@Talontd : Cmon dude.. dats not a very flattering pic of Krasinski.. while evans ws giving his best homophobic pose :D..

anyways.. hedlund for CAP
Talontd - 3/10/2010, 4:31 PM
@McLovin

Sorry man, I pretty secure in my sexuality...shirtless dudes don't make me all quezy inside. But hey, if this will make you feel better:



As for JENSEN ACKLES and CHRIS EVANS being unsuitable, I wholeheartedly disagree. In EVANS more popular roles he has shown his ability for action, but it's in his lesser known roles that he's shown great range. London & Sunshine being good examples. As for why ACKLES is good, well, it's because Jensen Ackles is the living embodiment of Captain America!

jjmeylar - 3/10/2010, 4:32 PM
I agree with you guys on Chris Evans. He proved himself on "Street Kings". I mean, he already showed that he is good in serious stuff when he was in "Cellular", but even so. "Street Kings" made him better for this role, in my book, than a lot of other guys.
McLovin - 3/10/2010, 4:33 PM
Starsapphire - I thought you said we had been unfair to the guy?

p.s. that was pretty hilarious though ;-)
Talontd - 3/10/2010, 4:36 PM
@TNTjesus

Dude, I shot water out of my nose when I read your post....well done. LMFAO!

@mpk1988

Haha, that was kinda the point bro.
jjmeylar - 3/10/2010, 4:38 PM
@Evil40L My friend Jennifer wanted him for the role. I don't know why, she just did. She fins him attractive, actually. Also, he was in that Handsome Men's Club thing on Kimmel on Sunday night. I don't know how. I mean, I'm not one to be able to judge the looks of a guy((because I'm not gay)), but he looks like Ricky Gervais' nose was enlarged put on an Elephant.
McLovin - 3/10/2010, 4:39 PM
Talontd - OMG!!! It's Stacy Keibler!!! Oh God, her ass is the 9th Wonder of the world! Thanks man, I love you for putting that up (in a totally heterosexual / man-bonding kind of way)
Talontd - 3/10/2010, 4:44 PM
@Blee

That is the delicious Stacy Keibler. Enjoy:








@McLovin

No prob homie.
ClaireLannister2016 - 3/10/2010, 4:48 PM
@Mclovin

Since he's not in the running anymore, then I wouldn't feel bad for making fun of him. I wouldn't wanna make fun of a person in the running for cap...well not a lot.
evil40 - 3/10/2010, 4:48 PM
Ha! I love it lets keep the stacy keibler photos cumin.... I mean coming
NickKaseAKAthePieEATERxGETIT - 3/10/2010, 4:50 PM
stacy keibler ... omfg ... the nasty horrible things i would do to her ...
McLovin - 3/10/2010, 4:54 PM
Starsapphire - LOL! Go on girl, with your bad self ;-)
Talontd - 3/10/2010, 4:55 PM
@Evil40

Ask and 'ye shall receive:










@Starsapphire

Just let me know if this is gettin on your nerves and i'll stop...
GUNSMITH - 3/10/2010, 5:01 PM
THIS IS THE GIRL FROM DANCING WITH THE STARS?
GUNSMITH - 3/10/2010, 5:03 PM
HELA IF YOUR OUT THERE ID LOVE TO SEE YOU DO A FANSITE CALLED"WHAT IF?" YOUR GOOD WITH THE PHOTOSHOP DELIO, WITH THE SHORTLIST OF CAPTAIN HOPEFULS, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THESE WOULD BE'S IN CAP GARB, JUST TO SEE IF IT WOULD WORK...THAT MARK VALLEY ONE YOU DID WAS SPOT ON...
ClaireLannister2016 - 3/10/2010, 5:08 PM
I have a feeling one of the reasons Krasinski didn't get the role is because the fans didn't like it. Our complaining paid off. ;)
MarkV - 3/10/2010, 5:12 PM
To be honest, I kinda felt like crying when my man Jogn didn't get the role. Still praying for a Krasinski sized miracle!
MarkV - 3/10/2010, 5:12 PM
I ment John, lol. Guess I'm still choked up!
McLovin - 3/10/2010, 5:16 PM
Talontd - You are the man!!! Btw, for those of you who are like me and prefer your dreams "wet", here is where you can see more of Sweet Stacy http://www.stacyk.org/

btw, don't worry about Starsapphire, she is one of us now ;-)
ClaireLannister2016 - 3/10/2010, 5:20 PM
@mclovin
ummm ok.
Talontd - 3/10/2010, 5:26 PM
@Star - I didn't get it either...

but thanx MCLOVIN. =)
brandon34 - 3/10/2010, 5:27 PM
First off, f*ck that picture, Krasinski would have nailed it. Chris Evans sucked ass in Fantastic 4, why would he be better now????? Riddle me that! (Lol) anyways, since John is supposedly "out of the running" that dude Vogel looks the part, I dont know if he has any acting talent. Like ive said before, Evans is terrible really. Maybe Im wrong. But im STILL pulling for John Krasinski til they officially ANNOUNCE the part, not much for listening to you assclowns
