Through a channel that I just happen to have, I've forwarded the interest in Neal McDonough to his family to eventually get it to him.

IIRC from Minority Report he's about the same height as Tom Cruise. Captain America shouldn't be a shrimp, even if its a buff shrimp. The casting for this film is going to be incredibly tough and absolutely crucial to nail if they want it to work.

According the IMDB, Neal is 6' even. Cap is 6'2". I think we can give him 2 inches.

If imbd.com is correct then I definitely wouldn't have a problem with Neil. He doesn't scream "Steve Rogers" in the way that Christopher Reeve WAS Superman but out of known actors he might be the best. Hopefully an unknown can be discovered who just inhabits the role perfectly.

Wow, is it just me or does this guy actually look like Duke from G.I. Joe? (card art version from the 25th line I mean, not Tatum).

Maybe a Wayans brother could play Captain America...

Seriously though I'm excited if they have WWII as the backdrop of his solo movie with his freezing ending the movie and his eventual re-awakening be part II...or the beginning of the Avengers movie.

Whoever is selected is going to need the acting chops to go mano a mano with RDJ...

Neal McDonough might be a good choice--- for now.

Vin Diesel?!


Capt America is supposed to be charismatic and form complete sentences.

Hey now, he was great as the voice of Brad Bird's The Iron Giant.

Thank you for proving my point.
The Iron Giant never reallyspoke in complete sentences..he was monosyllabic.
Great movie though.

That was my point... It was low-level sarcasm.

McConahghey always comes across as a country bumpkin with that drawl hes got.
He has no range.

McDonough didnt overly impress as soldier Buck Compton in Band of Bros.
His age may be a factor if sequels are in the mix.

I wanted Aaron Eckhart for Thor but think he'd make a great Steve Rogers as well.
I dont trust present day Hollywood to do justice in a unabashedly patriotic american however.
Everything has to be "dirtied" up.
I give you exhibit A: G.I. Joe the movie.

Re: The First Avenger: Captain America Discussion Thread

Just a thought-- but what about the guy who plays Titan (Mike O'Hearn--3 time Mr. Universe, Judo Champion..etc...)on American Gladiators for either Captain America or Thor?... All depends on his acting ability-- or lack thereof maybe.

He could work for Cap.

Here's my pick for Thor:

He would make a good Cap, well physically. I doubt he can act.

Re: The First Avenger: Captain America Discussion Thread

We live in an age where Tom Cruise is considered a great actor.

How good does he really need to be?

Re: The First Avenger: Captain America Discussion Thread

I like Viggo Mortensen or Brad Pitt as Cap.
Johnny Depp as Red Skull.
Gerard Butler as Thor.

I don't care, just as long as it is a good actor, a good script and no black leather!

Re: The First Avenger: Captain America Discussion Thread

Even before a Cap movie became a certainty I thought Mark Valley from Boston Legal would make a great Steve Rogers.
