Captain America or Captain Britain?

With the announcement last week of Chris Evans taking on the iconic role of Captain America, and with Hugo Weaving already announced to play Captain Americas nemesis; The Red Skull (perfect Red Skull in our opinion), attention is now fixed on who would be cast to play the women in Steve Rogers/Captain Americas life.

At the moment it is purely rumours, but two English roses are in the running to play Steve Rogers girlfriend - Sharon 'Peggy' Carter; Emily Blunt and Alice Eve.

Blunt was recently seen opposite Benicio Del Toro in The Wolfman, and has starred in other films such as The Devil Wears Prada and The Young Victoria, and is engaged to John Krasinski who was in the running to play Captain America. While Eve is next seen in She's Out Of My League opposite Jay Baruchel, and has starred in films such as Crossing Over and Starter For 10.

Who would you like to see as Captain Americas girlfriend? Unless they are to play the character at two stages of life with the film reportedly being set in part during World War II then they both could get the role, who knows it's a rumour at this point.

The third English rose rumoured to be in the film is Keira Knightley, details for the part are being kept secret for now but it is rumoured to be his flame Betsy Ross (ironically, named after the woman who is credited with creating the American flag). Keira Knightley was approached earlier this month but the studio is also looking at other actresses.

Who'll be cast? It's anyones guess!
