Yeah he made a quite early retirement from acting and started acting weird, tried to become a rapper,grew a large beard,wore shades all the time and said weird stuff. Something was definitely going wrong in his life but he seems to be gearing up for a comeback. I think Prince Namor The Submariner would work for a tremendous Robert Downy Jr. type of comeback.

I would like to see Brad Pitt in this role. I can picture him leading Downey, Norton, and Sam Jackson…it just makes more sense than some no name from the CW. But for some reason, they want a “no-name” actor. I hope it's not purely a budgetary move b/c that's pointless when this movie/series will rake in a ton of cash (if it's done right). That being said, Marvel's made solid casting decisions so far. Let's hope that trend continues…

Joaquin Pheonix would be awesome as Namor! Hasn't he retired from acting…I know, it's not like that means anything but, I thought I read that somewhere…

JOAQUIN PHOENIX or HUGO WEAVING for NAMOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well now I kind of feel bad…. If the studios were honestly considering Krasinski and then decided against it because of internet back lash. Imagine if Chris Nolan had done that when they announced Heath as the Joker. I know most people were pretty against the idea of Heath as the joker. but the studios were right. Maybe Krasinski would have surprised us all.

Well that's an opinion. Many loved him on Smallville and still love him on Supernatural, including myself.

Cool TFA Captain America scene: Steve Rogers sits on the bleechers of a local college that he's trying to get into by saving money from his job and trying to get a scholarship as a Art Major & Histroy Minor. As he sits on the bench, he's doodling away with some cool sketches as he watches the football team practice. Some cheerleaders approach and totally ignore him but a wind blows one his sketches their way and one cheerleader says “Wow you drew this!” She comes over to bring him his sketch and asks could she look at his sketch pad and all of the other girls come over too and are amazed. The Quarterback and couple of other players come over and the girls immediately ignore Steve as though he wasn't even there. The Quarterback is like “who's this guy” and the girls say “uh,like heck if we know, he's an artist though”. The Quarterback looks at Steve's sketches and says coldly “thats,cool, anyway which of you girls..” and they all walk away from Steve. While the team practices Steve leaves the field but he mumbles “I think if you would've brought in Roberts as your half back and put Reynolds as your Tight End, throw in a nickle pass and then double back to a quarterback sneak, you guys would have won last nights game. The Quarter back says “What”!!! “What did you say!!(angrily). The team stops and approaches Steve as though they are about to beat him up and the Quarterback says “What'd you say nerd? I run this, what does your skinny ass know about football? Then Steve says “I,I,I um,(in fear). One of the guys push Steve to the ground and his books fall out of his bookbag reveally Steve's own football tactics playbook. The Quarterback sees it and says “What the hell is this?” He looks at the book and says “Oh you think you know some football huh,well this is crap, this aint chess” then rips out a page and throws it on the floor” then tells Steve to scram. The Quarterback curiosly picks up the paper and stashes it without any body seeing. Later in the movie The Quaterback apologizes to Steve telling him how he secretly used his play which helped them win a crucial game and asks Steve to join the team. Steve tries out as kicker but fails miserably with his bum leg. So they convince the coach to let him try out as a Defensive Strategist. Steve receives a scholarship as a team member but later is framed by the coach out of jealousy after the team loses faith in the coach and put all their faith in Steve. Steve gets expelled from school for having illegal items in his locker. A touching scene would be with Steve and his dad in the Deans office with the Dean saying “I'm sorry Mr.Rogers, Steve is a brilliant student but we can't have this kind of behavior in my school so we have to let him go” Mr.Rogers Sr. “How can you do this, Steve would never do that, somebody planted that stuff in his locker” Mr.Rogers Sr.”My son is the first person in my family to make it into college, I'm so proud of my son, I could never afford to send him but he found a way, I love my son he's a good kid give him a chance to prove he's innocent,please.”The Dean “I'm sorry Mr.Rogers but I'm afraid i can't, we'll do a thorough investigation to help prove Steve's innocence but until then I'm afraid he has to leave”. _More to come later

Statham doesn't even have the voice (not talking about his accent, but the fact that he has a deep, whispery kind of voice).

The reason that Jason Statham .won't be cast is because they said that they want an American born actor to play him.

I think Hugo Weaving would be a great Namor, especially with his accent and i could totally picture him saying “You Imperious Rex!!” but…. Jonathan Rhys Davies seems like a more likely choice, second choice would be(which was my first choice) JOAQUIN PHEONIX with a Robert Downey Jr. or Mickey Rourke type of comeback. Joaquin Pheonix making a comeback as Namor would be awesome he looks just like him and his portrayal in “Gladiator” shows he could portray some of Namor's pompousness.

What people have to understand is that there is a template that has already been set for cap as well as for every known superhero and villain that exists in the comics, with most, like Cap's, existing for more than 30 years. Having a casting call for only 6'2, blond headed, blue eyed, muscular men to play cap is following the template. We all want the acting to be excellent, that's a given, but the foolish stereotype of…”if an actor has muscles he probably can't act” is stupid.

There has to be some 6'2, 220 -230 lbs. actor out there with the above attributes that can seriously act…preferably an unknown.

Why is nobody mentioning the guy from Death Race and the Transporter? I think he would make a great Cap. I also think Brad Pitt could pull off something like this and would love to see him in a superhero series. Oh well, not up to us. P.S. I like John Krasinski too, maybe he could surprise people in this role.

Won't it be distracting for the audience if John K is cap and he keeps looking at the camera and raising his eyebrows during the movie?

Linky? Linky? on the Cap delay.

Don't post statements of news as fact without facts to back it up. Not saying you don't have it, just want to see it.

I meant Hugo Weaving as Namor.

I like Krasinski as Captain America, but agree Ryan McPartlin looks more the part. I really hope this will be e huge break through for John K b/c he is a good actor. Buckley or any of these other CW guys could be cast as Bucky.

I really want Hugo Weaving to play the Red Skull!!!
