John Krasinski: Captain America No More

The actor is in negotiations to star in a romantic comedy that begins filming this Spring.


The Krasinski/Cap rumors have been flowing non-stop over the past few weeks. Some sites have gone as far as stating that he has already been awarded the role. Though Marvel Studios has neither confirmed nor denied Krasinski's involvement with the project, new information from The Hollywood Reporter should put comic film fans at ease.

The site released a trade announcement tonight that Krasinski and his agents are currently negotiating for him to star in a romantic comedy opposite Ginnifer Goodwin titled Something Borrowed. The role is for a two picture deal, rare for this genre of films, the first of which will begin filming this Spring.

The First Avenger: Captain America director, Joe Johnston, is already in England prepping to begin shooting the film in June. To top it off, Krasinski's hit show on NBC, The Office, has been renewed for another season.

It's apparent that the actor's schedule is officially tied up for the rest of the year.

let the ladies worship his god of war nose in some comedy.
grif - 3/9/2010, 11:31 PM
Haha I thought you guys would like this news. I promised myself I wouldn't partake in anymore Cap rumor articles, but since this is official news (albeit somewhat unrelated) I couldn't resist :)
MultiPurposePoni - 3/9/2010, 11:32 PM
The negotiations still could not work out and then it goes right back into the rumor mill. Please...let the deal go through. For more reasons than one! I want Krasinksi to be longer in the discussion...ever! lol
Ranger14 - 3/9/2010, 11:38 PM
I for one want to say congratulations to mr. Krasinski for all his continued and future success.

WHO THE HELL TURNS DOWN CAPTAIN FREAKING AMERICA TO STAR IN A ROMANTIC FREAKING COMEDY?!?!?!?!?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!?!?!?!?! HOLLLLLLYYYY CRAP.
doctorretroandthepogs - 3/9/2010, 11:53 PM

@doctorretroandthepogs, he probably signed on for this comedy after he was cut from the list (if he was ever really on the list)

Makiveli21 - 3/9/2010, 11:56 PM
Well guys, I'm calling it a night. I doubt I'll find anything that would top this news short of an official Cap casting announcement or a Thor movie photo.
MultiPurposePoni - 3/9/2010, 11:58 PM
Does this mean Will Smith is back in the running?
Hell yeah, DJ Jazzy Jeff as Bucky Barnes [frick] the bullshit!!!
Str8OuttaKrypton - 3/10/2010, 12:00 AM
This is AWESOME NEWS---Now get somebody who we can believe in to play the part!!!!...Cap's my favorite--please don't ruin this JJ & Marvel!!!!
mecharobzilla - 3/10/2010, 12:07 AM
SH Hype has Wilson Bethel in the mix now--he's young but at least closer to what pre-Cap Steve could look like--would DEFINATELY have to bulk up for Cap though---
mecharobzilla - 3/10/2010, 12:10 AM
YES! JESUS H GODBLASTED CHRIST!

I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT




OH LORD THANK YEE LORD...

oh crap what if it isn't God... this doesn't have anything to do with that deal I made at the crossroads tonight does it? DOES IT?

I don;t wanna die *cries as a flaming figure appears in corner of room* Oh my GOD! RICHARD SIMMONS HAS COME TO DRAG ME TO HELL!

I really wanted em to get it only so i can say...
''You might even say, he won by a NOSE'' hahahahaha
Str8OuttaKrypton - 3/10/2010, 12:29 AM
I hope that it's not true. lol

I made a dream about john krasinski being captain america, and before that i was thinking:

He might be good

Because you're all saying that his facial structure isn't right, ( and i dont know the story of captain america that well, but i know that he was a thin, physically weak young boy/man when he wanted to join the army and go turned down. If someone like that becomes a super soldier after getting the serum he doesnt necessarily become SUPER GOOD LOOKING, he becomes physically PERFECT.)


And one more thing, They don't all have to look perfect. And john krasinski, in my opinion is a good looking fellow, and i think maybe he looks more cartoony, in a john quinone drawing style. They dont all have to look like Super models.
Aleutenet - 3/10/2010, 12:32 AM
I dont know about chris evans, dudes..

The way he talks seems very college boy to me...
Aleutenet - 3/10/2010, 12:33 AM
So PONI@ You still got a chance!

Somebody start a petition, PONI@
for CAP! I suggest you die your
hair blond and wear blue contacts
for awhile just to sweeten the pot in
your favor, PONI@! lol
Then you'll be the hands down winner
with your authentic CAP-costume
and the fact you can whip all the
other actor's butts, YOU'RE A SHOE
IN!!! PONI@ FOR CAP!!! Wah Hoo-oo-oo-ooh!!!!

I sure hope KRASINSKI does the Rom-Com
and stays the hell away from CAP! He's more
suited for dopey Romantic Comedies anyway!
DDD - 3/10/2010, 12:34 AM
I would have def. preferred him over that douche ackles
thenumber12 - 3/10/2010, 12:34 AM
@Hawk- That's hilarious!

Praise jeebus this came out! I can sleep well.
ecksmanfan - 3/10/2010, 12:38 AM
Aleutenet@ get the hell out!!!

You say you aren't that famialr with
Cap America yet you still comment on
CAP'S casting! You're not a fan at all!

Steve Rogers has been drawn the same
way for decades and you say it's not
important how he looks! You're an IDIOT!
A BONAFIDE DULLARD! Steve Rogers looks like
he does cuz that's who he is!

HE LOOKS LIKE A MODEL! Tony Stark don't,
Bruce Banner don't, Hank Pym don't,
Nick Fury don't but Steve Rogers has
always been handsome! It's part of his
persona! He was thin and sickly not ugly
and homely! He MUST look like a rugged
handsome-type! It's who he is!!!!!!!!!
DDD - 3/10/2010, 12:45 AM
Why is it all the "Krasinski definitely isn't Cap" articles are coming from the people who didn't like him in the first place? Seems pretty convenient...

Like he couldn't shoot a RomCom in spring and be done in time to start filming in June anyway...

@Ecksman. Praise da lawd!

@InvestigatorGIRl. I know! I am still laughing at that shit!!! I miss that show.


THEHAWK - 3/10/2010, 1:30 AM
Some of you are so defensive when it comes to John it's kinda silly. How would you like Gene Garofalo playing Wonder Woman? Yeah, my point exactly, you'd be pissed too. Don't be hypocrites.
Chad Vital - 3/10/2010, 1:32 AM
I like Krasinski - I love The Office. He's a great actor, but Cap he isn't. I do, however, think he would make a great Scooter in a live action Muppets movie.



Ryan McPartlin for Captain America :)
Joker08 - 3/10/2010, 2:29 AM
with as quickly the shooting schedule for Cap is coming up, I wish they would make a choice on who will play Cap, because all the guys still in the running all need to do some bulking up by June. Unless they are planning on doing the 1st Spider-Man type of filming where they film him skinny and weak right away and then have him hit the weights while filming to show the difference in body type from weak Steve Rodgers to Cap
l0rdleg0las - 3/10/2010, 2:47 AM

T800 - 3/10/2010, 3:54 AM
He may have never been in the running to play Cap America in the first place.... I wish I still knew this guy I used to work with that owned a comic shop. He had friends in Marvel that told him stuff. Back in 1999, He had told about Spidey 1, X-Men & Hulk. Gave me details for a couple of scenes and character design for all 3 movies (goblin design/fake lookin Sabretooth with stupid eyebrows/Hulk smashin ground which caused rumble to cars down that hill)...

I wonder if he still has his inside source. I bet he knows sum stuff about the Cap project and Thor project

Great official news @ MULT!!!!!!!! ; D

He wouldn't of worked as STEVE ROGERS, but he could've made a good best friend in the movie or some thing........


Anyways, ARMIE HAMMER IS CAPTAIN AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!



(Well a young one),

or VOGEL,

or Garret Hedlund,

or Ryan McPartlin,

or Chris Carmack,

LEEE777 - 3/10/2010, 5:07 AM
good find ... i hate that bloke .... the size of his bloody nose for a start ...captain huge conk maybe and winchester is full of slags ... like kelly

maybe now everyone will take their Ridalin and calm the [frick] down until we get an OFFICIAL cast announcement...i mean really guys, some of the things people were saying yesterday about this kid are ridiculous...
CorndogBurglar - 3/10/2010, 5:13 AM
No to [frick]ing Chris Evans though, hell no to evans!!!!!!
LEEE777 - 3/10/2010, 5:15 AM
I think we all owe Krasinski an apology for making fun of him soo much. Thank god he isn't playing cap. I have more hope now that Marvel will make the right decision.
Starsapphire - 3/10/2010, 5:16 AM
Thank you MULTI!!! This is the best news I've read in a long, long time! Thanks God Krasinski is out of the running!!!!! :D
JoshW - 3/10/2010, 5:18 AM
The moral of this story I think is: If it's too stupid to be true, then it's not true.
Starsapphire - 3/10/2010, 5:20 AM
I hope Ryan McPartlin gets the role, He looks like John Byrne's Steve Rogers.
wildstar13 - 3/10/2010, 5:25 AM

Already that knotty feeling in my stomach is going away. Thank you for this.
SixSixteen - 3/10/2010, 5:43 AM
You know what was screwy about all this?

Why would that stupid article appear on Fox411 which is supposed to be a serious news outlet if it was just a stupid false rumor?? After seeing that it sort of elevated the whole thing to a new level.

It made it seem like there was an extra measure of plausibility to the story. Otherwise it really would have just seemed like another dumb rumor and easy to dismiss
SixSixteen - 3/10/2010, 5:50 AM
Hang on, if Johnston is already in England does that mean they've already cast Captain America!? Surely he'd have to be in the states to see the auditions?
JoshW - 3/10/2010, 5:55 AM
MIKE VOGEL FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA!!!!

HELL NO to HUMAN TORCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



; p
LEEE777 - 3/10/2010, 5:56 AM
Guys @ They picked the OFFICE guy just like WARNER BROTHERS picked JUSTIN TIMERLAKE for GREEN LANTERN!!!!

Think about it.............

GEEZUZ lol, so whoever we get, we can say, "well its better than that guy!"

Its all a [frick]ing front LOL! ; D

Always was!
LEEE777 - 3/10/2010, 6:00 AM
Oh yeah forgot PIC of HEDLUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LEEE777 - 3/10/2010, 6:03 AM
@ Josh: I thought of that too. That is probably the case. In most large film productions it's the director that picks the principle actors. And if he's in England than that probably does mean they have already picked their Cap.

Orrrr i guess it could mean they are doing the readings in England(unlikely) or that they are doing them via video conferencing (extremely unlikely) or maybe that they are vetting English actors (highly doubtful)

Nah. They almost certainly have their man.
SixSixteen - 3/10/2010, 6:05 AM
jason lewis all the way he looks and sounds perfect for cap
ngu13 - 3/10/2010, 6:09 AM
DARTH: Yeah, I'd say that things are probably in the final negotiations stages...personally, I think all the signs point to McPartlin being cast! He said that he auditioned (a good while before the people on the short list), he was at The Wolfman premiere after that audiion and its unlikely Chuck will be back for a 4th season! (and it looks like his character might be leaving the show anyway if the most recent episode was anything to go by!) I'm hoping it's him anyway as I'm not a fan of Hedlund or Vogel getting the part!
JoshW - 3/10/2010, 6:14 AM
ngu13 @ HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LEEE777 - 3/10/2010, 6:17 AM
McPartlin would work! After the Krasinski scare, I am definitely down with that.
SixSixteen - 3/10/2010, 6:21 AM
Oh thank god....Vogel or Hedlund would be great! Specifically Vogel :)
Ryden - 3/10/2010, 6:22 AM
Lewis, Evans, then Vogel.
ElBicho - 3/10/2010, 6:28 AM
ElBicho @ Good man!! ; )

ElBicho, for you and ngu13!!!!

JASON LEWIS for CAPTAIN AMERICA!!!


LEEE777 - 3/10/2010, 6:29 AM
That god for that - it looks like the rumor swell of suck is starting to dissipate. Now all you have to do is quell that nasty rumor about the Jonas brothers reading for a part in the film and my nerves will FINALLY be at peace!
loganoneil - 3/10/2010, 6:31 AM
Sing with me everyone, Oh Happy Day!
DGr8Nova - 3/10/2010, 6:48 AM
Jason Lewis for Cap!!!!
DGr8Nova - 3/10/2010, 6:48 AM
Hell Yeah that is good news... :D

Now that we got that douch out the way, we can focus on those who could possibly pull this off without looking like a total idiot:

Garrett Hedlund
Mike Vogel
Chris Evans
Ryan McPartlin
& off course: Jensen Ackles!!!!! ;)
LuckyKid90 - 3/10/2010, 6:55 AM
Why haven't we heard of Jensen Ackles in a long ass while??? I say he's kept hidden in England ready to shoot this bitch before the shooting of Supernatural 6 comes up!!! The "negociations" are happening between Marvel and the CW :))

If not, I'd love for Evans, Vogel or McPartlin to get it. And if it had to come down to Hedlund vs Krazinsky, i'd take Hedlund. But let it be known that Hedlund is the PERFECT Bucky/Winter Soldier!!!

JENSEN ACKLES FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA!!!

NovaPrime- Oh happy day-ay-ayyyyy!!!
Shaman - 3/10/2010, 7:14 AM
THANK GOD, ANYONE WHO THOUGHT THIS CLOWN COULD PULL OF THE CAP IS INSANE AND SHOULD BE BURNED WITH THE MARVEL STUDIO EXECS.
ajmathew80 - 3/10/2010, 7:19 AM
I'm tellin ya guys, its all swerve, swerve, swerve.

Funny all industry news has gone real quiet on Mr. Ackels and Mar.28th is Supernatural's return date, tic....tic....tic, the clock keeps movin and Marvel annouces a widening its supposed "Search" but really offers no real insight to a name or names that are new to its lists, sure smells like Hollywood cover-up get us all to look over here at John, hell it worked there were 3 pages for that headline and everyone seemed to take the bait..the debate that is..lol! Either way you can not deny that it kept all our minds focused away from another....can anyone else smell the 'Pro Wrestling' style feel for this movie? You know when you hear about a specific star getting looked at by a promotion and the fans are begging for the star to go to their promotion cause he is about to be free agent and talking possible deals and then all goes eerily quiet right before you hear that Hulk Hogan, or Goldberg, or RVD signs a deal with TNA or the WWE! Yes I know that was an off color comparison but its the nature of the beast and Hollywod is a beast. LOL!

Just sayin Jensen's name was all over the place for a long time associated with this and he did read for the part that is a fact and I heard was well received by all at the studio including Johnston, and now its all so quiet...but we never got ANY confirmation he was OUT.

Hell, but I aint complaining I'll gladly take, Vogel, Hammer, McPartlin, Hedlund, shoot even Evans('London' great film) or even a couple of guys who are not American(though to me seems mighty sacriligious, but still) Anyone but John Krasinski. And I love him as Jim from the office and he was okay in that lame Mandy Moore flick and funny in that Clooney film but c'mon as Cap his face and ears would kill the franchise alone! Lmao!

So here we go guys another round of rumors and another day of gross speculation...another day in the trenches awaiting the real answer.

WHO WILL WEILD THE SHEILD?!?!

Vv~~vV
XavierFrost - 3/10/2010, 7:23 AM
This is becoming utterly ridiculous! I am so over this movie!


Ok not really...but im getting really close to it!
MsKyle08 - 3/10/2010, 7:28 AM
XavierFrost- JENSEN ACKLES WILL BE THE ONE!!! :))












Jensen's got the muscles, the stare, the commanding presence, the height, the voice, the face, the agility, the experience, the fierceness AND THE TALENT!!! Sickly Steve will only have 20 lines at the most and he HAS shown the ability to portray weak just as much as strong!!! He IS the best choice ever to portray the only mortal to need nothing more than his sheild to storm down hell's gates and come out of there ALIVE!!!!

JENSEN ACKLES IS CAPTAIN AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shaman - 3/10/2010, 7:35 AM

Though he's a billion times better than [frick]ing HUMAN TORCH!!!

LEEE777 - 3/10/2010, 7:40 AM
@shaman "Why haven't we heard of Jensen Ackles in a long ass while??? I say he's kept hidden in England ready to shoot this bitch before the shooting of Supernatural 6 comes up!!! The "negociations" are happening between Marvel and the CW"

That smells about right to me, hell the Marvel Krasinski rumor only really lasted a day..and it was shot full of holes....a day! Lets look at the names as almsot every one of the names that were mentioned got shot down almost as fast as they were considered. Yet every major contender with a few exceptions have been not been shot off the list and Jensen is one of them a strong one of them, and I mean strong in name as to people who have heard rumors or know he was a fan favorite..blah blah blah..for this film. I mean WHY wouldn't CW or even Ackles agency/agent come out and confirm he is out??? He did in July 09 only a few weeks after rumors hit him about it then. And also if he is not in the running it does him no good to keep the rumor alive, and either for CW, don't think if he was truly out of the running that they would not have already made him give a press statement saying he was out just to stop all the mail I hear WB is getting to 'Let Jensen do the Movie' they would want to nip that in the bud awfully quickly as it could tear at its core audience fanbase, they would want to mend it and move on. Just all seems a little to coincidental is all...

We Shall Wait and See...

XavierFrost @ Only in your WET DREAMS buddy!!!

; D


LEEE777 - 3/10/2010, 8:00 AM
XavierFrost- Yeah, there is a logic behind Jensen's silence and hearing every other guy in the running speak out. He is litterally the ONLY one of them that hasn't said a word about it since July 09 and even then i could see him uneasy with the question as if he was already under contract to shut the hell up!!! The only thing he said was that he hadn't been contacted yet, that he humbly didn't think a CW actor would get a shot at such a prestigious role and he finished in saying "but it would be cool". Well, IMO that's our Captain RIGHT THERE!!! :))

JENSEN ACKLES AS CAPTAIN AMERICA vs GARRETT HEDLUND AS BUCKY/WINTER SOLDIER FTW!!!
Shaman - 3/10/2010, 8:01 AM
Go Ackles and Go Joe.........i still have faith in ya Johnston :)

teabag - 3/10/2010, 8:04 AM
LMFAO!

But HELL YEAH to HEDLUND as BUCKY!!!! ; D
LEEE777 - 3/10/2010, 8:05 AM
@ teabag lucy pinder or sophie howard for wonder woman.
@ leee777 jason lewis or jenson ackles look the part,my choices would be chris pine or sam worthington but they probably cost to much & you're choices are probably cheaper.
deadpool72 - 3/10/2010, 8:07 AM
deadpool72 @ Cheap is good! ; D

Hell, i bet ARMIE HAMMER would do it for FREE!!! ; p
LEEE777 - 3/10/2010, 8:09 AM
C'mon @LEE777 be supportive, I would totally be psyched if your WET DREAM for Hammer came true and he got the job!!! Hmmm 'Armie Hammer' kinda sounds like a 70's porn name LOL!


;D

Vv~~vV
XavierFrost - 3/10/2010, 8:10 AM
Why not just cast Valley (or any other qualified older actor), and ret-con in that the super soldier serum aged him. It would explain his more commanding presence as Cap, and could be explained as it "matured' him into a leader. No matter how good the actor is, nobody is going to follow a kid. It would also allow you to use a younger scrawny kid as pre-super soldier and a different actor as Cap. The transformation should be that dramatic.

It could also be part of the soldier out of his time story in the Avengers. A 20 something soldier who looks 30's to 40's, but is actually in his 80's. Could lead to some great dialog with Stark in Avengers.

Just an idea. I always saw Cap as an older guy than any of the finalists. That being said, the best choice from the current list is still Ackles (I have been reading for a long time - sorry to disagree with LEE).

Oh yeah, and one Hundred and Fister.
STOOPUDR - 3/10/2010, 8:12 AM
Leee - Armie Hammer is too busy making business cards in his mom's basement with his new super cool name that he made.

it's too bad the only option with that name is G@Y P0RN.

STOOPUDR- Yes, lets make the super soldier syrum completely different and change every thing that made Captain America great. Let's make Cap a 45 year old guy that'll be too old to serve his country. Brilliant.

Soul- O'Donnel was the "proper" age when he was Dartagnan. Now, he just sucks ass. Your goldfish is a better choice.
Shaman - 3/10/2010, 8:23 AM
..a 40 year old Cap?! ahahaha.. ah, no.
InFamouslyCool - 3/10/2010, 8:25 AM
I still say that Fox news thing was a dirty trick. So essentially whoever did that lied to THEM. And whatever tool reported it took it at face value. It made it sound like it was hard news.

You know.. I don't think I am going to bother reading any more of this bullshit until the REAL official casting is announced BY MARVEL or Johnston's people or both.
SixSixteen - 3/10/2010, 8:28 AM
I don't necessarily think it changes everything of the comics. It was never said, but I always thought it looked like Cap went into the Super-Soldier serum looking like a kid and came out a man, not just an older kid.

Admittedly, Valley is too old (hence the inclusion of the "any other qualified older actor"). He was just the name for the example, because I watched his commercial for Human Target and thought they should have made this move 10 years ago. So, what if they stay away from the guys in their 40's and go with a guy in his 30's. I hate that they are limiting the actors to mostly guys that look too young.

Never thought of it myself, but I do like the Chris O'Donnel suggestion.


STOOPUDR - 3/10/2010, 8:31 AM
Go for both, darth. Just to make sure LOL ;P

Yeah i'm sick of this too. I'm okay with having "lists" of possibilities or rumoured favorites but this whole new craze of false "official" information has gotten me pissed!!!

STOOPUDR- Well, Valley has the look hands down IMO! 15 years ago i would have been pushing this mother down everybody's throats! Now... he'd still be an amazing EarthX Cap :))
Shaman - 3/10/2010, 8:33 AM
So do I, if he were chosen i wouldn't be mad

Chris O'Donnel.

lol.

Tommy Lee Jones k!lled his family.

lol.

And then he became Robin - and everyone lived happily ever after. The end.

LADIES

There is absolutely no way that Chris Evans will be casted as Captain America.

It's too confusing. This rumor is BS. Almost always, studios stay away from casting an actor for 2 different super hero rolls. It's too confusing to viewers to go through that identity crisis...

Ocassionally it can be done. Case in point would be Reynolds. Two things to consider here though:

1) Green lantern is DC (separate universe)
2) Dead Pool has a mangled/scarred face
WingPow - 3/10/2010, 8:48 AM
WingPow- The fact that F4 will be rebooted makes Evans no longer Human Torch where as Reynolds is still BOTH characters. Evans as Cap is even more believable than reality right now LOL.
Shaman - 3/10/2010, 8:55 AM
Jason Lewis
and
Chris ODonnell
but Id go with Jason Lewis...

Jensen A and Chris Evan have to much of a pretty boy look.

Jason L
have the strong jaw and chin..commanding looks of someone who is suppose to lead Earths Mightiest heros.

I just dont see that hard leadership look in alot of the guys you all are posting.
vonstallin - 3/10/2010, 9:09 AM
No way.

It doesn't matter if it's going to get rebooted. I am 100% postively sure that Evans will not be casted for the reasons I stated.

If you are a suavy movie marketeer, and I'd like to think Kevin Feige is, why the fu*k would you confuse your audience by casting your flagship character (Captain America) with someone who's already played another hero from your universe in 2 other movies?

It's stupid. It won't happen.
WingPow - 3/10/2010, 9:09 AM
Oh he is negotiating for that part in June. Guess he has that part nailed down huh?? Im so sick of the little vague article clips. GIVE US A NAME MARVEL!!!
SLCpunk801 - 3/10/2010, 9:12 AM
Could we please quit throwing out names like Jason Lewis, Mark Valley, DiCaprio, Damon, Chris O'Donnell, etc.? They are too old and we already know they aren't testing anyone that old. It's pointless to have them in the conversation. Let's stick to reality. :-)

Still overjoyed that Krasinski is "most likely" out of the running. Until he signs his deal and it is out of the "negotiation" stage, I am still going to be nervous though.
Ranger14 - 3/10/2010, 9:24 AM
@ Ranger14

I know. STFU with those names already. It will never happen.
WingPow - 3/10/2010, 9:30 AM
@ Ranger and WingPow

lol! Serious! We might as well toss David Beckham out there hehe
SLCpunk801 - 3/10/2010, 9:36 AM
i still think Matthew Davis would make a good Caps...

HelaGood - 3/10/2010, 9:37 AM
Let's keep the discussion confined to those who have been rumored to be in the running.

For example, HOW DOES EVERYONE FEEL ABOUT WILSON BETHEL?

He was mentioned previously and no one seems to comment about him either which way..
WingPow - 3/10/2010, 9:39 AM
Wilson Bethel looks scrawny in my mind when thinking about filling caps boots
SLCpunk801 - 3/10/2010, 9:43 AM
WingPow- I was just making a funny. I know he won't be cast. I don't think Marvel are as stupid as WB. Well... they would have been if they had chosen Shrek but i digress. As for Bethel, no one comments on him cause no one knows who he is LOL. I'd say he's fit for sickly steve but they'd need mega CGI to turn him into Cap!
Shaman - 3/10/2010, 10:02 AM
thank the baby jesus
Ven0m - 3/10/2010, 10:11 AM
Shaman-

I have two things to say about the skinny actors.

1) With top notch fitness trainers support, you can get ripped real fast in Hollywood.

2) As these negotations have probably been going on for a few months, I bet Marvel has told any number of the actors in the running that they need to begin bulking up eventhough they haven't been officially awarded the role.

Ergo, Bethel and Hedlund being lean means nothing to me. They'll have no problem getting big.
WingPow - 3/10/2010, 10:26 AM
Wingpow- True :)
Shaman - 3/10/2010, 10:31 AM
Wilson Bethel looks like he has a surgically implanted chin...


Ranger14 - 3/10/2010, 11:08 AM
I am so happy I peed a little
whatsinthebox - 3/10/2010, 11:11 AM
@WingPow

Very very true.

Don't forget guys, Christian Bale went from the Machinist to Batman Begins thanks to hisstrong dedication to this part.



Even younger actors can do it.




MovieTheaterLad - 3/10/2010, 11:25 AM
Yeap, granted Christian Bale has incredible dedication, he was able to put mostly 100 lbs back on in just 5 months between The Machinist and Batman Begins.

I think Hedlund or Bethel or whatever could at least put 20 pounds of muscle on in half that time.

WingPow - 3/10/2010, 11:31 AM
MovieTheaterLad,

bale's a real actor.. there's not many like him. just because he's dedicated enough to his craft to go to any extremes for a role doesn't mean everyone else can.
InFamouslyCool - 3/10/2010, 11:51 AM
@InFamouslyCool - bale sucks!! he is one of the worst actors... he plays the same character in every movie he does... no range at all.
HelaGood - 3/10/2010, 12:05 PM
Bethel looks the part IF he puts on the weight which i'm sure he can.

Hella- He does. I agree, and i also don't think it fits Batman's character that well. I really hope that Bale lets go of the role after Nolan's trilogy. I liked him but there's too much about him that didn't fit my favorite depiction of Bruce Wayne.
Shaman - 3/10/2010, 12:06 PM
a blonde bale would be a perfect Cap. ahahahahaa.. not really, but, the way he drops weight he could easily slim down to play a sickly young pre-serum steve. then bulk right back up to the peak of human perfection (like he's done before).

blue contacts, hair dye... ahahahahaha.. Bale for Cap

..see, even 'HelaGood' thinks Bale would be perfect.
InFamouslyCool - 3/10/2010, 12:08 PM
@InFamouslyCool - bale sucks!! he is one of the worst actors... he plays the same character in every movie he does... no range at all.
HelaGood - 3/10/2010, 12:05 PM


WRONG. But you're probably only saying that because you only saw Batman Begins and the Dark Knight. Bale is a great actor. Watch American Psycho, 3:10 to Yuma, The Machinist.

THERE IS A GOD!!!!!!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!


RockNRollCC - 3/10/2010, 1:26 PM
Sweet, merciful Zeus!! I am so glad he didn't get the role, I would have skipped seeing Captain America if Krasinski was cast.
JerusalemJr - 3/10/2010, 2:10 PM
THANK CHRIST!!!

BALE AND RDJ ARE PERFECT FITS FOR THERE CHARACTERS! COME ON FAN BOYS I KNOW WE DO NOTHING BUT BI#### ABOUT ANYTHING ANNOUNCED BUT GIVE THE GOOD VERSIONS SOME CREDIT.
