One of the actors on the infamous Captain America short-list won't be wielding the shield.
Last week, Micheal Cassidy's name appeared on a short-list of contenders for the role of the Star Spangled Avenger along with John Krasinski, Scott Porter, Mike Vogel and Chace Crawford. The list has not been confirmed by Marvel Studios, but a statement last week by Mike Vogel does hint that it holds some validity.
Cassidy, who's most remembered for appearances on Smallville and The O.C., just released this statement via Twitter:
The film's director, Joe Johnston, had stating that a casting decision would be made by March 1st, 2010. If Cassidy has received word from the studio that he did not get the role, it's safe to assume that the decision has been made and the official announcement is forthcoming.
Though several sites have stated that this account does indeed belong to the actor, it has yet to be verified by Twitter.
