10 years ago, sure!

But, now...Too old...

Eh. Personally I'd rather see my country's flag worn by Garrett Helund.

hmmm... i like that he would fit in the tony stark age group... would go well.. couldn't imagine a 20 something year old guy leading tony stark... This guy has a great Captain look to! He's got my vote if he can act!

What jusme6 said.

What ANIL said. :)

Guys, check out my OLD MAN LOGAN Fan Cast!!! Just click the link!!!

This guy is an awesome Artist. He should stick to that. Jon Hamm is too old. Dude is gonna have a heart attack just by caring the shield.

No offense, but Alex the new Cap you designed sucks... Red, white, and blue CHROME over a black jumpsuit... Dude what the hell was that?

so should we just skip the origins and shoot to cap in battle from the start if we want it to be so old

IM STILL FOR MARK VALLEY...BUT YAKNOW JOHN HAMM CAN DO IT....HE COULD ALSO DO...BATMAN AND OR SUPERMAN.

I love Ross's work, but everyone he draws looks pretty old. Hamm works for the Cap of modern day that is a leadership figure to the superheroes of the world. However, the Cap of this movie is going to be Cap in the beginning through when he freezes. I'm not sure how many years that is supposed to be, but I think the best thing to do would be to cast an actor in his mid to late 30's. Hamm is way too old to play a convincing young Cap.

Nah, he's more Hank McCoy IMO.

Does anyone else want to punch pics of Hamm in the face? His face just...pisses me off for some reason.

you guys really have to stop saying that this actor cannot portray this character because of his age, that's just dumb. Robert Downey is 44 and he's Irron Man and nobody complains, you are looking at the best possible person to fill the role.

Wolverine: he looks 12

HEY GUYS I NEED YOUR HELP, I JUST HIT A BIG FINANCIAL BUMP. I NEED TO SELL MY COMICS ASAP, I KNOW IT SUCKS BUT I HAVE KIDS TO FEED. I'VE GOT ABOUT 30 OR SO..ULTIMATE X-MEN 1-6, REIGN OF THE SUPERMEN ALL 4, DEATH OF SUPERMAN BOOK, FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND 1-9, THE PUNISHER JIGSAW 1,3,4..BIZARRO'S WORLD 10-13..SUPERMAN THE MAN OF TOMORROW ISSUE 1, ROBIN ISSUE 1, BISHOP ISSUE 1, MAGNETO AND THE MAGNETIC MEN 1, MAN OF STEEL NO.2 INTRODUCING LOIS LANE, BATMAN VS.PREDATOR BOOK 2 AND 3 AND THE COLLECTORS EDITION, HELLBOY SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION..I've got more, I'm going through e-bay but I thought of this site right away. I was hoping you guys could give me some pointers or something. They are all in sleeves and in good or mint condition. I posted this on another news article..just want to let ppl know.

I agree with Upupandaway. Casting too young ignores what his role is later, but casting too old ignores what his role is in the beginning so they're equally bad. Hamm doesn't seem like he would work at all for the Cap origin story becase I get the sense that when Steve becomes Captain America, he's pretty young. I think Mark Valley is perfect for older Cap, but he wouldn't work for the origin movie either, so I don't think he's the ideal choice. To me, Matt Damon always seemed to have the look that would work for both the older Cap and the younger Cap, but he doesn't seem to be a possibility any more. Also, you have to remember that they're looking for someone who can play Cap for a long time. Downey is in the suit. Norton changes to the Hulk. Cap is a guy in a costume. Not as easy to make an actor in his late 40's convincing for that role.

this guy looks old tho....i luv alex ross art n evrythin but too me he doesnt look the part

@Anil, I don't know I never liked the BuckyCap look, good name by the way. It just seemed to avoid the old Cap if that makes any sense. Just never dug it and the whole chrome look just seemed too 90's Leifeldian to me.

My email is atomdkey@yahoo.com..hit me up so we can talk price. Its bs sometimes how life throws curve balls but that's the name of the game I guess. Just tryin to do whatever it takes. Like I said, all in sleeves and good to mint condition. Marvel Masterworks Spider-Man book is a little beat up but not to bad. Correction Funeral for Friend-1,2,4,5,8. Sorry..anyway hit me up whoever is interested. JENSEN FOR CAP!!!!!!!!!

@wolverinept

Thanks. I mean this is a comic related site, has anyone watched the interview with the Batman animated DVD director about the upcoming "Under the Red Hood", where Jensen is voicing the villain. The director was singing his praises. First time they worked with him and it was HIS first time doing purely voice work but obviously he made a strong impression with his work.

It has been commented in more than one Supernatural review that Jensen is highly able to convey a lot without much dialogue, using facial expression and body language and he is also clearly able to convey alot with ONLY dialogue, with just his voice.

I don't mind that people have other "favorites", people they'd rather see with the role but don't pretend it's because he looks too young(he doesn't) or because he's incapable of being strong enough(he is plenty capable) or because he lacks talent(because he doesn't, he is respected by his peers, the production teams and the crews he works with).

There is no way in hell or anywhere else a GOD OF THUNDER is taking orders from some punk-ass 21 year old. That whole shit-list of Cap wanna-bees Marvel is trying out should be torn up and tossed into a fireplace. Then a new list of men should be written and auditioned. MEN, not boys. Cap should be a little older to reflect the wisdom of a seasoned soldier and experienced military mind. He should be imposing and charismatic. Hamm might be what, 38 or so, but so effin what, he looks young and can bodybuild until he's thicker. Just look at Ferrigno at his age.

Anyone who finds anyone on the wannabee shitlist the right type for Captain America only does so in their dreams while they're kissin him.

@wolverinept

Wow that was weird my last post, posted again? Anyway, fixed it. :) I saw your trailer, it really looks good.

hes too old if there trying to make him as an origin story. Hes like 40 when did he enlist in the army when he was 38??

New poster, longtime reader here.

Just wanted to comment that Matt Damon is the best choice. I wish Marvel would just spend some money to get a big name for Cap. He needs to be a guy that can command the screen when he's alongside Jackson, Downey, and Norton. Damon is the only guy I can see truly doing this. Marvel is dropping the ball on this one, IMHO.

Once Steve takes the serum it changes his physiology thus explaining the slight maturation. Besides it's not like Valley looks ancient he looks just like Steve Rogers check him out!
