Totenkopf Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Not particularly familiar w/this guys acting chops, but did watch a preview clip for "The Losers" and have to agree it wouldn't have been my choice either. Who were you hoping for anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astor Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I can't think of anyone at the moment, but there have got to be better choices to play Cap than this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexrd Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Thank God, there's no Captain Europe... I remember a time when actors were requested for their skills and performance, instead of how they look like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True_Avery Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Being how young the casting direction has been looking, this movie is probably going to take place mostly in the 40s... but still, even looking back on those comics he was still a pretty big, muscular, and imposing guy... I wouldn't say Chris Evans is terrible (he redeemed himself in my eyes with Push), but he was amazingly awful in Fantastic 4 and this role just really does not suit him.

LordOfTheFish Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Crap. Chris Evan is going to a great job at being a mature leader of the Avengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I couldn't take him seriously after that video with the toy horse and the kettle (which may have been someone else who just looked like him), plus he was pretty annoying in Fantastic 4. Perhaps I'd care more if I was American, but from what I know about Captain America, this seems like a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Nah I have faith in the guy. EVERYBODY sucked in Fantastic 4. It was the director/script more than the actors. Watch Danny Boyle's Sunshine. Evans is pretty badass in that movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Avlectus Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Remember Edward G. Robinson? About that long ago. *looks him up* DEEZAMN! The really good actors DID wholesale die in the 70's. @ALk: HOARSIEZ?! WHERE?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordOfTheFish Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 EVERYBODY sucked in Fantastic 4. I disagree. I think Michael Chiklis did a good job playing Ben Grimm, and when is Jessica Alba ever a minus to a movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Rider Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 That video is certainly someone else. However, this guy is a TERRIBLE choice. We need a big, class, square-jawed guy, not some pretty-faced bradd-pitt wannabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a big, class, square-jawed guy, not some pretty-faced bradd-pitt wannabe. Exactly. I don't think that prettyboy could pull this off. Of course, I'm not sure anyone could without it seeming pretty silly, but still, bad casting. In my mind, Captain America would look a bit more like the guy from the Human Target TV show. I forget his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Evans in Push, but he's totally not gonna pull off an "avengers assemble!" wow. A F4 reboot already? As for Evans? He was a horrible Human Torch, and he's no where near what Captain America should embolden. Sad. Would be nice for once if execs could stick to lore rather than bottom lines, but I guess that's a pipedream. Oh well, comic movies had promise with Dark Knight and Spider-Man, but it's just completely gone down the tubes since. Should've learned their lesson with Spider-Man 3. Let the directors/producers do their job. Execs obviously only know how to kill a franchise when they want to get involved with the decision making & creative (harhar) license.

True_Avery Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 They are also rebooting an Avengers Spiderman movie series. Basically, forget the old Marvel movies since they are starting their own mini-verse with the Avengers movies. They are being pretty ambitious here since part of the contract for Captain America is to be cast in up to 9 Avengers films. That is, of course, to cover ground but it gives a good idea of how far they may be willing to take it. I wouldn't really plan on much X-men since Marvel gave that movie license to Fox, which has since destroyed it beyond recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Well, at least we've got Iron Man as a good movie in the Marvel universe. While Hugh Jackman is badass, didn't care much for Wolverine, and can't think of any other recent Marvel movies that were good. I do not see this dude as Captain America at all, especially since he has already been a Marvel hero. Rebooting F4 is dumb too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 can't think of any other recent Marvel movies How soon they have forgotten Ben Affleck's Daredevil. Really I agree with you Jeff, loved Iron Man couldn't careless about the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Well, at least we've got Iron Man as a good movie in the Marvel universe. Doh! You know, totally forgot to add that to the "good" list.. >.< Agreed. Spider-Man fan that I am, Iron Man pretty much raised the bar as far as hero movies should go. While I DO like the Dark Knight, he's (Batman) never been a fav of mine. Great movie, just not one of my preferred heroes. Beats the hell out of Superman though.. heheh How soon they have forgotten Ben Affleck's Daredevil. so Jeff you want to ban him, or should I?
