The actor from the fantasic four movies (human torch) sounds and even apperars to be the most logical choice.

I vote no wrestlers. Oh yes, so being able to yell loud and stomp your feet makes you capable of acting as the leading character in a big budget movie…

(They too, have SAG cards, y'know); For the wrestler nay sayers, I suggest an unknown, then. Sure, there may be some well knowns (like a Thomas Jane, etc), who folks like, but I don't see TJ as Cap. Cap is indeed a pretty big, buff muscular dude (at least after the super soldier serum infusion), and a small wiry, fit/toned guy won't do justice to the part. The audience/viewers have got to visually BELIEVE that this character is physically capable of performing the feats he's undertaking. Cap isn't Spiderman, who maintained his slim physique but can now lift 10 tons; He's a guy who's been physically augmented to the very peak of human efficiency, just shy of being an actual superhumanly strong man. He still needs his size & musculature to accomplish the things he does, because Cap/Steve is still a human who still has limitations on what he can do, how strong he is and how fast he is, etc. When Cap takes on several guys as large as he himself is, it isn't superman powered being taking them on; It's a man who has the physique to handle perhaps a bit more than a regular joe, but still within human perameters. Tobey Maguire doing Spidey works because the character's a superhumanly/genetically enhanced human who has spider powers based on those of an arachnid. Cap's abilities are still based on human physiology. Well known actor, athlete or unknown, the performer who plays Cap will have to play off of how the character works, physically as well as anything else. Whoever's chosen, I'm certain the casting director(s) will have a good reason for their selection, leaving us responsible for only sitting back and enjoying the show!

If they had/have the time it'd take to use a 'slim' actor and then 'beef' him up, that'd be truly Deniro-sque film making indeed; However, with the potential time constraints, that may not be an option for the production (I even thought about what if all the 'buff' scenes were shot first and then have the 'Pre-Cap' origin stuff shot later on. But you'd still run into the same time factor issues and risk running into scheduling conflicts...unless they used TWINS! LMAO!) Seriously, right now, it's a wait & see thing to see how CA's casting goes. So, let's just wait and see! I'm sure we'll know soon enough! I'm looking forward to it either way. interesting idea, using a slim/frail performer and then beefing him up!

So with is all being in WWII they have Steve floating away in ice... fade then reopen with the block of ice being discovered "current time".. I vote for no name, matter of fact I would like to see them "prepared" and secretly taking someone that was a "wimp" and put the muscle on him. Not CG not 2 or three different actors but 1 actor that was "frail" and beef him up for the roll.

Yes we know they are big, steroids do that to you! Doesn't mean we need to turn all of the comic book movies into jokes by putting someone who can't act his way out of a wet paper bag as the main character! I say get an actor that can act and bulk him up for the role. The acting must come FIRST, not second! I hope wrestling fanboys will stop recommending pro wrestlers for every super hero role.

He has the look but doesn't seem to have the acting ability. The Rock and the wrestler that played in They Live have been the only ones I have seen with acting ability. I would rather see The Rock play CA than Cena but I don't know if fanboys can get over CA being brunette (as well as have black). The problem is that the 2 movies he has been in have been abysmal.

I say if so, then don't judge; He, as a professional wrestler does in fact give performances quite frequently and (I feel) will surprise many with his talent should he be offered the role of Captain America. Give him his chance to bring CA to the big screen. Pro wrestlers are some of the most underrated performers ever and given the fact that he DOES have the look & neccessary physique, IS athletic and CAN actually perform on camera, who's to say John Cena can't bring Captain America to life? Let's support the man if he obtains the opportunity and see how things go. Although many aren't fans of wrestlers turned actors taking over major roles, my gut tells me that John Cena wouldn't disappoint. Whatever the case, I look forward to CA on the big screen!

He's a little old, but he'd be okay. Tom Wisdom from 300 is a Brit but he'd look good in that spot as well. He's fairly off the radar and did well in 300. And he's only 36. Chris Pines from Star Trek is 28-29. He was rebellious in the movie but, still looked good. He does have a few other projects he's already slated for, but it wouldn't be bad to try and get him for 2011-2012. I'd hate the movie if John Cena was the actor. He could play the Cap body double, but I doubt they'd spend the money to just have him doing stunts. And that may make me not want to see Avengers as well. Either get an unknown or a real actor. Not a wrestler turned actor. Not the Rock either. He's half Samoan. Both of them are just a little TOO big. My gf just said she'd be better playin Cap than Cena. I believe her.
