Who will wield the shield?
The answer of whom will hold Captain America’s shield and play alter ego Steve Rogers is still in Marvel’s hands, but the list of actors is being whittled down.
Wilson Bethel, who starred in HBO’s “Generation Kill” and currently appearing in “The Young and the Restless,” is still in the running as is Mike Vogel, who appeared in “Cloverfield” and CBS’ “Miami Medical.”
Meanwhile, Chris Evans, currently shooting "Safety Point" in Texas, has read for the part and has a test offer which may come to fruition next week. Garrett Hedlund has not tested yet though Marvel is very keen on him.
Actors previously reported as testing including John Krasinski, Michael Cassidy, Chace Crawford, among others, are no longer on the list.
The part calls for a nine-picture deal, the second of which would be the “Avengers” movie. That project could start shooting as soon as January 2011.
Taking a shot on relative unknowns such as Bethel and Vogel is not out of the realm of possibility as many tentpoles and franchises are handing out the keys to up-and-comers. Paramount and J.J. Abrams took a chance on Chris Pine to play Capt. Kirk while James Cameron put his trust in Sam Worthington.
Chris Evans...The Human Torch. No, should not be Evans. Too many chances of a 3rd Fantastic Four OR crossover appearance in another frnachise movie. Really bad thought...

Hmm. You know who I'd like for it? Ryan McPartlin, the guy who plays Captain Awesome on Chuck. He's got the right kind of face and the right build, and he does a good job of playing the "big, but nice and fundamentally decent" type.

has anyone looked at Devon Woodcomb from Chuck. A young chris reeves type, tall blond muscular and maybe he can act too...to me he looks the part more than most.

The Cap casting has become a fiasco.Chris Evans is all wrong for the part.Too silly,too girly,a poor man's Ryan Reynolds.He only wants the role because his career has ground to a halt.Find that man a RomCom asap.And Marvel only wants him because he is the biggest name they could get to accept that 300,000 salary and the legal slave contract that comes with it.(Up to nine movies with no right to re-negotiate salary no matter how much the movies make???)Mark Valley should be playing Cap.But then again these are the same people who think Don Cheadle is a dead ringer for Terence Howard as long as he is willing to work for alot less money.
