Just who is going to play Captain America?
10 March 2010
The casting debate surrounding who will play Captain America rages on.
Director Joe Johnston has struggled to find the lead actor to star in The First Avenger: Captain America so far. And while it looked like John Krasinski was set to be named to play the superhero, Chris Evans’ name has now been thrown in the ring.
The actor, who of course played Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four movies, is reported to have auditioned for the role.
Gossip Girl’s Chase Crawford is also in the running.
Whoever lands the role will not only be the lead in a huge blockbuster, but will also star in the eagerly awaited superhero team up movie Avengers – which should star among others Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury and Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man.
