Marvel Says NO ONE's Cast for Captain America Yet!

Along with Marvel confirming the delay false with SuperHeroHype. IGN has received the same word, and they no one yet has currently been cast!

Directly from IGN...

IGN was advised by a Marvel spokesman today that the rumors are entirely untrue, that Johnston remains aboard to direct and principal photography has not been delayed. Of course, short of a press release declaring otherwise, that's exactly what the studio would be expected to say. We were also advised that no one has been cast as Cap yet and thus no deals have been made.

So this should also put the John Krasinski rumor on hold...for now. But I'd like to point that the list of actors to screen-test for the role, was in fact only a "Wish List", not folks in the running. So there you have it. I know this should makes some folks happy...for now.

	@TonyDark I think they are fibbing just to make the press release Monday more interesting. I remember specifically Marvel personally denied the rumor that Ray Stevenson & Stuart Townsend was in Thor, and then released the news next day that they were. DCMarvelFreshman - 2/26/2010, 4:22 PM

	@LEEE Because they have to cast Cap until March 1st.I think that was the date Johnston said in an interview. Wolvie09 - 2/26/2010, 4:30 PM
	Pine would be good too. I think either one would be better than that @$!# list they put up bagman - 2/26/2010, 4:31 PM
	wolverine09 @ Oh lol, but hey its Hollywood, things change all the time! LEEE777 - 2/26/2010, 4:32 PM
	Because they have to have someone cast by March 1st. February ends on the 28, and it's the 26, that's 2 days. Add one for March 1st and what do you get? 3 days. I just hope it's not the sad list of "candidates" from the other day. I mean, Chace Crawford. CHACE CRAWFORD! I have faith that Marvel will pick the right person to be one of the biggest characters of CBM history. Be it Ackles, Hedlund, Porter, etc. InTylerWeTrust - 2/26/2010, 4:32 PM

	what about Josh Hartnett for Cap jazzman - 2/26/2010, 4:41 PM
	jazzman @ SHAMAN would blow up the studio if that ever happened lol! And JH really??? LEEE777 - 2/26/2010, 4:43 PM
	hahah, yes Lee, JH really! Someone that has actually mad a couple of movies in his career! I don't think he's really right for Cap, but he's a pretty good actor..tiny eyes though..I hate that! I've asked this before but who the [frick] is Armie hammer? And whey doe she make me afraid to leave him with children? All of these metrosexual clowns..especially Hedlund, who in fairness i have not seen act but if he were any more effeminate looking i'd [frick] him myself..suck as choices on the surface. Could they surprise us? Of course they could..but I really wish they had someone like Aron Eckhard in teh running. RorMachine - 2/26/2010, 4:49 PM
	@LEEE777 Josh Hartnett has proven he can do war movies and his a alright actor plus i rather him right now then some of the rumor casting list. jazzman - 2/26/2010, 4:51 PM
	"it doesn't matter" - owlman. InFamouslyCool - 2/26/2010, 4:52 PM
	@LEE777- I was thinking of the most idiotic choice for Cap, and Chris Klein sprung to mind. Made me laugh when I used the same pic they did for Ackles. @Jazzman- I had actually thought this because he has been offered the role of Superman before. He's 6'3" and if Hollywood has shown us anything it's that guys can bulk up to look the part. Unfortunately he's gone on record stating that he doesn't want to commit to any long term projects. Too bad, the guy is a pretty good actor... Pearl Harbor not withstanding. :D punkazzINC - 2/26/2010, 4:52 PM
	ROR @ Dude, he was in REAPER, just watch an episode with him in and you will believe! ; D I didn't say i didn't like JH, but ain't they looking for an UNKNOWN? Hopefully its some no ones picked! punkazzINC @ : D LEEE777 - 2/26/2010, 4:53 PM
	Ror: Arm & Hammer, oops, I mean Amy Hammer, oops, that's Armie Hammer, was in Reaper where he played an obnoxious and annoying Son of the Devil (and he wasn't good at it) and he's been on Gosshit Girl. InTylerWeTrust - 2/26/2010, 4:53 PM
	well.. we may have ourselves to blame also.. the marvel guys n all must have checked out the blogs n agreed that unless certain fan favs are taken into consideration it would go badly.. this could also mean Marvel wants to check out the guys with scheduling conflicts n other problems.. ackles and hedlund n so on.. though wolfman, rocketeer etc were good.. I'm still not sure about Joe Johnston.. Hmm.. or evrythin cud jus as well be BS!!!!!! mpk1988 - 2/26/2010, 4:56 PM
	@Nordberg "Don't you guys ever get tired of posting retractions here? The unsubstantiated rumors are getting pretty tiresome. " Thing is when these rumors get flying, the studios are forced to address them so it does serve a purpose to a degree DogsOfWar - 2/26/2010, 4:57 PM

	@punkazzINC did not know he was offered the role of Superman. anyway these rumor casting dont feel right it had to imagine they pick i.e. Ackles and he give orders to actors like RDJ and Don Cheadle in The Avengers i be like WTF lol @LEEE777 your right they looking for unknown actors but i feel like its better of to find a known actor cause some of the unknowns thats coming up right now no one really like. jazzman - 2/26/2010, 4:58 PM
	JerzeyHellboy @ U DA MAN!!!! Great stuff bud, [frick]ing Awesome!!! ; ) Cheers dude, kudos!!! TYLER @ Zillion times better than T'ackles!!!

	@jazzman- yeah, that was back when Brett Ratner had the reigns for it. punkazzINC - 2/26/2010, 5:01 PM

	@punkazzINC i only thought Matthew Bomer was offer the role in Brett Ratner Superman movie. @LEEE777 sorry man The Cheadle going to be in The Avengers lol anyway this is the thing with Marvel right now they saying they looking for a unknown actors to play Cap but they cast big Hollywood actors to play their Marvel characters. its alright that they cast Chris Hemsworth toplay Thor it makes sense but Cap they need a name actor. jazzman - 2/26/2010, 5:11 PM

	@Diamond1995 no the list wasn't fake. People just thought that those were the front runners. But it was just guys Marvel wants to test out. DCMarvelFreshman - 2/26/2010, 5:22 PM
	Way to go Teabag! A little pick me up! hahaha. @jazzman- Nope, both were offered during Rattner's run. @Diamond- Don't get your hopes up just yet. They said nobody was chosen to play Cap. For all you know they've got Chris Klein behind closed doors right now. :D punkazzINC - 2/26/2010, 5:23 PM
	@Punkazzinc OH NO! Just joking. I had a feeling that some fans would misinterpret the list and think they were the front runners. Let's just hope that Marvel answers our wishes and has either Jensen Ackles (if he finally decides which is more important: play one of the most iconic superheroes ever, or keep playing Dean on Supernatural), or Ryan Mcpartlin (whom I think really deserves and looks the part) Diamond1995 - 2/26/2010, 5:30 PM

	ecks@ I second that :P teabag - 2/26/2010, 6:54 PM
	With the films they've put together so far meaning Iron man, hulk and IM2 they have yet to really mess up the casting or their movies, and Thor seems to be getting nothing but positive feedback,nobody has really seen anything Chris Hemsworth has done Star trek doesnt really count but no ones complaining about him, it seems like people want Marvel to [frick] up, I for one don't I want to see a good Captain America movie, the one from the 90's certainly is not what I want to see repeated, and I certainly don't think they do either, they have a lot more at risk in this venture than you do, I mean the whole idea of doing these things themselves was so they would have control not a studio that could care less if the property failed. Enough of the negative crap already just wait and see, I for one trust that they will not listen to the fan comunity for casting because no matter who they chose we wont be happy until its released and then we'll say oh I so picked that guy I'm so smart! blueballs - 2/26/2010, 6:54 PM
	I'm past the point of caring! Somebody wake me up when they've cast someone decent in the role...otherwise, dont bother! I mean, between the crappy short list and all of the rumours of disputes between Johnston and Marvel, this film just doesnt feel good! They need to stop looking at pudding faced comedians from The Office and make a great casting choice to get the support back for the movie. If someone like Krasinski is cast, I have a feeling that there will be a pretty huge backlash! Hell, I'll be furious! ;) JoshW - 2/26/2010, 7:42 PM
	Hopefully they DON'T listen to most of the fanboys(Ackles...lmao)and they stray from the very sad list of actors that were mentioned on their "death wish" list. usclerkguy - 2/26/2010, 7:45 PM
	Of course no one's been cast for Cap yet! They won't announce that till next month! Yep, if Krazinski is chosen I will not go to the Cap America movie! I will not contribute money to their coffers if they can't have the decency to hire someone for Cap who looks like Steve Rogers! Krasinski is so wrong for Steve Rogers ya might as well hire Will Smith! At least he's a good actor! Krasinski is Krap! Hedlund is a skinny model girly-boy! And the rest of that so-called short list is ridiculous 90210 rejects, except for Ackles! It's all abunch of BS anyway and doesn't matter at all! Rumor after rumor is just that, RUMOR! It has no reality to it at all! DDD - 2/26/2010, 8:46 PM
	DDD, i am with you all the way. We need to petition!!! Never mind the Tea Party.....It's time for the Right Actor for Cap Party!!!! Scorpioxfactor - 2/26/2010, 8:53 PM
	Krasinski is actually a very good actor. Just not right for Cap. I could see him as one of the Ant-Men, the Flash, and Blue Beetle (my personal choice for him). InTylerWeTrust - 2/26/2010, 9:07 PM
	Thanks, Marvel Freshman. My night was starting to go from epic to annoying. This clears the part of being annoying and brings my night back to being epic. JJMeylar - 2/26/2010, 9:35 PM
	@LEEE777: Nick Fury wasn't in the original Avengers. Neither was Black Widow. Heck, if you wanna get down to it: CAP wasn't in the ORIGINAL Avengers. And even if Rhodes is in the film, it doesn't mean he'd be part of the team. He'd be a supporting character for Stark and the whole team. Nothing says that he'd even fight alongside them in their big battle. JJMeylar - 2/26/2010, 9:38 PM
	@DDD : like tyler said.. Krasinski is actually a good actor.. but he's not good for CAP n model girly boy???? :) the thing is.. they might actually need someone who cap be both buff and skinny.. have u actually compared hedlund and (GAY)CKLES.. hedlund is almost 2 inches taller n he actually has a bigger frame.. dont forget that he put on 50 pounds on top o his usual frame in friday night lights.. n he was just 19-20 den.. so mayb he can play steve b4 and after the transformation well enuf.. ackles bodyframe will remain more or less the same.. Hedlund for CAP.. No to (Gay)ckles mpk1988 - 2/26/2010, 9:47 PM
	n ya.. hedlund's age just so happens to be right for the guy who's supposed to play CAP.. (ACKLES is 32).. he's never been the leading man n has a much lesser profile as compared to (GAY)CKLES.. mpk1988 - 2/26/2010, 9:54 PM

	guys i have a possible script question. Whats the chances of them putting Caps parents in the film and even more them being the old farm couple from Wolverine origins? here is why i ask. as most of you have heard me say i collect some of the super hero squad figures with my youngest. the wolverine origins 4 packs, one of them had the motorcycle from the movie in it. now this was not a super hero squad package it was origins. anyway me and my son jus bought a Captain America super hero squad figure with the same exact motorcycle. also @tea keep the boobs coming BrutalDuke - 2/26/2010, 11:16 PM
	Well, I don't happen to like Krasinski's style of acting! But I didn't mean he was Krap for other rolls just Krap for Steve Rogers! If anyone thinks he seems like or looks like Steve Rogers then I pity them for their lack of logical reasoning and judgement! If ya wanna talk gay MPK@ then you're talking about Hedlund cuz he seems very pretty-boy! His neck is scrawny! He also looks like a teen idol and that is not Steve Rogers! Ackles is way more manly than Hedlund! Ackles ain't gay he's very heterosexual and engaged to to an extremely beautiful woman! He played a part feline super-soldier on DARK ANGEL and now plays a demon hunting kick ass killer of nasties in the night who drinks beer from a bottle and loves cheeseburgers! Now that's a REAL-MAN to me! DDD - 2/26/2010, 11:19 PM

	Hell No to big-nosed all-wrong actors for Cap and scrawny teen idols for Cap and Auzzies who can barely speak with their own Auzzie accent let alone an American one and 90210 rejects for Cap! Give me and the others on here who think the same as I do a break! Let's have a fitting Steve Rogers/Captain America! Please! :D DDD - 2/26/2010, 11:40 PM

	Ahh so the shortlist was only a wishlist and therefore not really a shortlist making it a rumour of who was in the running. Why do I feel like I knew that? Oh thats right, because: I [FRICK]ING KNEW THAT! No way in the universe would any sane person be seriously considering Chase Crapford for the role of the living embodiment of the american way. No effing way i tell you!!!!! Now with that out of the way, I will be on my way to the booze fountain to get fcking hammered(and not as in Armie Hammer, LEEE ;) ) and I won't be back till Cap has been cast...

	CAPTAIN AWESOME FROM CHUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sirbonesalot - 2/27/2010, 5:04 AM
	nice tea. and i still think marvel was on to something by wanting to cast leonardo decaprio as steve rogers-captain america. he would have been great but i think they will go a different direction. 1chris2 - 2/27/2010, 5:41 AM
	This is what I think might happen if John Krasinski is cast as Captain America On the day of the casting of John Krasinski: The forums of most websites (including Comicbookmovie.com, and IMDB) are filled with tons of hate messages. Very few fans support the decision, and many fans start to protest the film. Marvel tries to back up why they cast him but cannot get over the fact that they only casted him so they could have a ‘token Jewish character’ and avoid people thinking that they did not cast John because he was Jewish. DC sees it’s moment to shine, and (hopefully) cast Ryan Mcpartlin as Superman which gets rave reviews. A main reason why the Ryan Mcpartlin/superman casting seems great was because compared to the John Krasinki/ Captain America casting it seems as great as Heath Ledger playing the joker. And or they release some great news regarding their films and it makes fans love DC even more. Thus, the Marvel hate grows. Weeks past and the first picture of Krasinski as cap are released. Fans and basicly everybody laugh over how stupid John looks as Cap, and the anticipation for the film sinks. Later we get the first official trailer. We are wowed by the special effects, and laugh at how John is trying to be intimidating and how he looks nothing like cap. While Dc released it’s Superman trailer and once again by comparision to the Captain America trailer, it seems Dark Knight good. Also when the Superman trailer is released, Marvel starts to rethink whether they should have cast Ryan Mcpartlin rather than John Krasinski. The two films are released weeks apart from each other. The Captain America film is panned by critics and fans. Both agree that Krasinski was wrongly cast, and seemed to be overracting and goofy looking. Though the special effects and action sequences are awesome, but fans still get mad at how Steve was inaccurately portrayed. The overall box office is low due to the fact that most fans still protested the film. On the plus side, the Superman film gets tons of praise (again due to the fact that compared to the Captain America film, the superman film seemed as good as the Dark Knight) and makes big in the box office. Marvel, in shame, cancels the Avengers movie, and the fans start to wonder whether the 1990 Captain America film was all that bad. Dc then takes it’s place as being the superior in superhero film making. See how one casting decision can change everything. As for Jensen Ackles, he continues to give up really good roles in favour of smaller roles, and his part in Supernatural. Do you seriously think that Marvel will cast somebody who a) will guarantee fans disappointment and b) looks and acts nothing the part? Marvel studios has had a clean record of great castings (RJD as Tony Stark, Edward Norton as the hulk, ect) and do you think they will just throw away that clean record just so they can have a ‘token jewish character’ or cast Krasinski just because they think that since he is kinda popular that he will drag in crowds and somehow manage to pull off being Cap? However, on the plus side if he is cast then it will make DC look a whole lot better (casting and movie wise). Do you think Marvel will risk Dc looking better, and fans dissapointment just so they can cast John krasinski in this role? I think not Diamond1995 - 2/27/2010, 8:12 AM
	@diamond... i really don't like insulting people one here, but you a a [frick]ing dumbass, and I really hope you take a step back from the freedom you have to write stupid shit, and i hope you think net time before you rant... the token jew? you're an asshole. Marvel has casted amazingly so far, whoever they chose, noone here has the right to complain. We have no right what so ever, becasue marvel has proven itself and DC has too but that doesnt mean only one movie can be good... Iron Man and TDK were noth amazing, granted in think TDK was still on an entirely different level.. They arent casting John, or thinknig abotu it because he's a jew... maybe he tried out and wowed them. thats the most ridiculous thing ive heard in a while and you really are a pice of shit.. I'm not jewish but i really hate when people feel the need to bring shit like that into the mix when its so obviously not a factor blankofthedead - 2/27/2010, 9:43 AM

	John Krasinski was born into a Catholic family; he isn't Jewish. But it wouldn't matter if he were. It would only matter to the Red Skull and the Nazis. Also, the creators of Captain America, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby are Jewish. As is Stan Lee, the man who revitalized the character in the 1960's. I wouldn't expect Cap to have a perfect, pretty boy nose, after countless battles and fist fights. MissTree - 2/27/2010, 11:00 AM
	The list is FAKE although some of the people on the list may have auditioned. The guy from "The Office"? HELL NO!! Garrett Hedlund would kick ass. @Diamond- I'm the one that 'told everybody so', you're the one that wasted your time sending Marvel a letter over it, SMH. @Ror- You need to watch some of Hedlund's movies before you write him off because he looks "too pretty to you". The dude is a great young actor, he's the right height,and hes a chameleon [you wont even recognize him in "Death Sentence"]...he would kick ass as Captain America. TonyDark - 2/27/2010, 11:43 AM
	@MissTree-Give it up already, it was just a rumor constructed to piss everyone off. Krasinski is a horrible choice for Captain America, stop trying to justify him being mentioned for the role. We're dealing with MARVEL...not FOX, a horrible casting decision like that will not happen. TonyDark - 2/27/2010, 11:46 AM
	@Diamond what type of a backward person are you calling John Krasinski ‘token jewish character’. if you dont like him as Cap ok but insulting the person race/nationality is out of line and the guy is a Roman Catholic. did you forget Stan "The Man" Lee is Jewish. right now im thinking if they had a black actor in the mix to play Cap what will you say. i peronally dont want John Krasinski as Cap anyway. jazzman - 2/27/2010, 12:25 PM
	@TonyDark: Amen.. I hear ya man.. mpk1988 - 2/27/2010, 12:49 PM
	MissTree @ I expect Cap to look as close to what he does in the comic books as they can pull off. Shrek (John Krasinski doesn't come close with his big nose and big ears. With short hair he will look even dorkier than he does with his current hair. Cap should not look like a dork. Not a "pretty nose" and big schauzer are two different things. ;-) Ranger14 - 2/27/2010, 1:18 PM
	What about Charlie Hunnman from Sons of Anarchy?? I think he could play Cap!!! TheGerman - 2/27/2010, 3:30 PM
	@TonyDark You give up trying to insinuate that I give a crap who is cast. I'm merely correcting the stupid comments that Krasinski is Jewish, which smack of anti-Semitism. I don't care for any of the actors who have been named so far, for this role. Also, mind you own business. I shall post whatever opinion I feel fit to do so. MissTree - 2/27/2010, 3:46 PM
	@TheGerman- I agree. However the studio claims they're not considering Non-American actors. @mpk1988- Thanks man. @Ranger- I agree. @MissTree- To a certain extent your comment seemed to be defending Krasinski being a Cap choice; that's what I was responding to and rightfully so. I didn't read Diamond's whole comment, I don't agree with her on the racial stuff but Krasinski is not right for the part. Also, mind my own business? Last time I checked this was a PUBLIC discussion. I have the right to disagree with your opinion if I see fit to do so. TonyDark - 2/27/2010, 3:58 PM
	OFF TOPIC My Superman reboot fan cast: http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/TonyDarkSite/news/?a=14972 TonyDark - 2/27/2010, 5:00 PM
	BS. You weren't just disagreeing. You were telling me what to post, and attempting to speak for me my opinion (which you are continuing to do). To no extent was my comment a defense. Please search these boards to see if I've EVER posted in his defense. Also, simply because you say so, doesn't make any actor, whoever gets screen-tested or ultimately chosen, not right for the part. MissTree - 2/27/2010, 6:12 PM
	@ Misstree: That happens a lot around here. There's about four or five that go around telling people that there is something wrong with anyone who sees things differently from them. You get used to it. Whatever you do, never ever dare say you want anything in a movie to be like the comic. That's like pinning a red letter to your lapel SixSixteen - 2/27/2010, 10:20 PM
	heheheh lapel :D teabag - 2/28/2010, 6:26 AM
	so.. no new rumours doin the rounds??? mpk1988 - 2/28/2010, 8:09 AM
	Diamond1995 seems to be operating on two rather bizarre assumptions: A. Just because an actor is Jewish, that means the character they play is going to be Jewish B. John Krasinski is Jewish. "A" isn't true because outside of a handful, most Jewish actors don't play Jewish characters. That makes "B" irrelevant, but the fact is that "B" isn't true either - Krasinski is Polish/Irish. However, Eric Dane is actually Jewish, and he would have been a great choice for Captain America if they were going for an older actor. But again, the character wouldn't have been Jewish just because Dane is. Nor is Spider-Man going to be Jewish in the new movie just because Logan Lerman is (if Lerman actually ends up being cast). And I agree with the other posted that it's ironic that Captain America/etc. were all created by Jews. soms - 2/28/2010, 10:27 AM

	@MissTree- He's a horrible choice to play Cap and I'm not the only one who thinks so. I was responding to your post because it seemed like you were defending him as a possible choice to play Cap. You took it personally...that's your problem. TonyDark - 3/3/2010, 12:34 AM
	No, it's your problem. You took it personally that you thought someone -- only in your mind -- was defending him, and lashed out. It seems like you are the one who is over-sensitive. I was just calling you out on your lack of civility. MissTree - 3/5/2010, 2:46 PM
