FAN CAST: The First Avenger: Captain America

My picks for the heroes and villains of the Captain America movie!

Follow Josh:
By Josh Wilding - 7/27/2009
Jensen Ackles as Captain America
As I've said quite a few times before (which by now I'm guessing a lot of you are fed up of hearing. lol) I think Ackles is perfect for the role of Captain America! Don't believe me? Watch an episode of "Supernatural." You'll see Cap in action right there!

Bret Harrison as Bucky
A great actor who I think would also be perfect to play Peter Parker. However, he would make an even better Bucky! As seen in "Reaper," he's great at playing a funny character, yet when it comes to more serious stuff, he nails that as well.

Photobucket

Burn Gorman as Union Jack
For anyone who's ever watched "Torchwood," I think you'll agree that this guy is a great actor! Having already played a British secret agent type character in that show, I think he would be great as Union Jack.

Photobucket

Elizabeth Banks as Spitfire
As one of my favorite actresses, I think this would be a great part for Elizabeth Banks. Although she has mainly appeared in comedies, her performance in W shows she can do more than just that. I guess it would just depend how well she can do a British accent!

Photobucket

Sam Worthington as The Human Torch
As the original Torch was an android, I think that Worthingtons acting style is perfect for this type of role (and he has already played an anroid in Terminator so theres your proof right ther, lol!) I also think he could nail the authoritive nature of the original Torch.

Photobucket

Jake Abel as Toro
A young actor whom I've only seen in one episode of "Supernatural," I'm not sure whether he is a good enough actor for a large movie role. What I did see was pretty good, so I think he would do well in this type of role.

Photobucket

Daniel Craig as Namor
Ok, I admit this isnt the best cast out of them all! However as its more than likely we wouldnt see Namor in the film (as he probably belongs to Fox under the Fantastic Four franchise). However, as a quick choice I think Craig might be quite good in the role.

Photobucket

Jackie Earle Haley as Red Skull
To me his amazing performance in "Watchmen" as Rorschach is reason enough that he would make an excellent Red Skull!

Photobucket

Ralph Fiennes as Baron Zemo
As with Haley, his past performances as villains (most recently as Voldermort in the Harry Potter movies) make him an ideal choice for playing Baron Zemo!

Photobucket

Dominic Purcell as Master Man
Purcell is a great actor (forget "Blade: Trinity" and watch him in "Prison Break.") He would be great in this Nazi thug type role as long as he can manage a convincing German accent!

Thanks for reading! I look forward to hearing what you guys think! :)

Some pretty good picks there my man!

I love torchwood but some times Burn Gorman annoyed just little bit and I cant think if i've sen him in anything else! Everytime I see Domonic Purcell I think of John Doe and it upsets me that it got cancelled! Damn I thought that show Rocked!!!
StrangeCosmic - 7/27/2009, 6:08 PM
good picks. not sure how I feel about Daniel Craig as Namor though . . . hmmm
charbelelnasr - 7/27/2009, 6:12 PM

Perfect choices for Red Skull and Baron Zemo Josh. Well done.

good picks josh.
Tobuttica - 7/27/2009, 8:11 PM
I like your villain picks. I think you and Lee should get over your picks for Cap. Neither are going to happen. Oh, and Elizabeth Banks is uber-hot!
Joker1Zero - 7/27/2009, 8:46 PM
Cool
Joslezio85 - 7/27/2009, 11:58 PM
Wow. I like 'em all. Except of course for Daniel Craig as Namor. I think he'd butcher it. I even like Harrison as Bucky. Can I suggest Hugo Weaving as Namor though?


rockingrich1webb - 7/28/2009, 4:03 AM
HEY I PICKED RALPH FIENNES AS BARON ZEMO AND SAM WORHTINGTON FOR HUMAN TORCH IN MY CAPTAIN AMERICA FAN CAST!!!!!!!!!
SweetJustice - 7/28/2009, 6:32 AM
JAMES BOND FOR NAMOR? LMAO. WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP THIS FAN CAST IS, BOX OFFICE FLOP. JOSH U A-HOLE DO A REAL LIST OR DONT BOTHER MATE. I LIKED THAT OTHER CAPTAIN AMERICA LIST A FEW WEEKS BACK. AN I TOLD U JOSHY BOY GET OUT UR MOMMAS BASEMENT AND GET A REAL JOB.
Shaman - 7/28/2009, 7:27 AM
Well, i like all those pics. Never thought of Craig as Namor but i can see it. Good job :)
JoshWilding - 7/28/2009, 7:42 AM
Shaman: im not a big fan of Craig as Namor as i said above but i really couldnt think of anyone else for the part - im not sure if he could pull of the regal side of Namor but im sure he could pull off the arrogant ass kicking side of the character, lol!

SweetJustice: ah well, looks like you're pretty much the only one here who doesnt! and as Ive said before, im not in the least bit interested in your opinion because you're an ignorant, rude little piece of trailer park trash. go [frick] yourself huh, 'mate'?
Joslezio85 - 7/28/2009, 10:22 AM
@Sweet Justice. Have you noticed? Everyone hates you. Douche.
@ComicBookBabe. You rock the socks of the American Culture. Just to let ya know.
NightAvenger - 7/28/2009, 11:07 AM
sweet justice the "new" supermike
Osiris - 7/28/2009, 5:14 PM
that cast is great, I love Haley as red skull that would be awesome, as for Namor I agree with joslezio that it should be Hugo Weaving he looks so much like him and his acting style would work so well.
charbelelnasr - 7/28/2009, 6:10 PM
not going to happen, I just found out that Fox owns the right to the Human Torch and Sub-Mariner.
Joslezio85 - 7/28/2009, 6:36 PM
They own the rights to the human torch of the fantastic four. This is a different human torch though. This is an android from the forties...completely and utterly different. Sub-mariner, quite possibly. But not the original human torch.
Kyos - 7/28/2009, 7:05 PM
Yeah, still very much against Ackles.

Haley would rock as Red Skull though!
Zombiesatemyyoghurt - 7/29/2009, 7:24 AM
Oh dear god i hope they inculde the Incaders in the Cap movie other wise it will be rather crap
Shaman - 7/29/2009, 9:27 AM
ComicBookBabe- Honeslty, i'd love to sketch YOU a la Titanic, MmmHmmm. LOL But On another thread, someone mentionned Luke Goss as Namor and i think he'd be better. So Namor could be on my list... ya never know :)
LEEE777 - 7/29/2009, 11:38 PM
Um good work JOSH @ Apart from you know lol, but you knew id say that heh heh!

Man i really wish CAPTAIN AMERICA movie had this lot in it, it'll be friggin' Awesome!!!!

Great picks man!!! Though i see daniel craig as NAMOR in a million years but he's a very hard one to cast ol' NAMOR! Also i thought MARVEL has NAMOR??? They was gonna do a NAMOR trilogy? Why would FOX have NAMOR?? Its not a FF character? Like you said though @ JOSH, its very hard to cast NAMOR!

Man i like this a lot dude, i just wish they made the friggin' thing, minus um Ackles of course heh heh.

But very well done, i totally missed this im glad you told me! ; )
lc - 7/31/2009, 7:05 AM

SweetJustice - 7/31/2009, 3:05 PM

VandalJ - 8/3/2009, 10:04 AM
how about Josh Duhamel for Cap?
Anyone?


I like all of your other picks though. It was nice to see that you didn't neglect The Invaders as so many do.
