So far the suggestions that have been posted would not be good choices in my opinion. search on you tube for Ben Ryan they should get this guy he is a dead ringer for cap. Not sure how well his acting is but the guy has the build and look of Captain America. I mean hey if Mathew McConahey can learn to act anybody can.

Great article, Kofi! I’m sticking with my choice of Colin Ferguson!! But Jon Hamm may nail it, too.

I think McConaghey is the worse choice I’ve seen (aside from Paul Walker). Captain America shouldn’t have the voice of a stoner. Channing Tatum has also come up, but I don’t see him having the body to pull it off. John Cena is the logical choice. He’s a true American, has the body, can do his own stunts, he’s got the voice, the swagger, and really isn’t that bad of an actor. With a good director and good supporting cast, Cena would shine is this kind of role.

mr kennedy as cap sure he is a wrestler but he has the allamerican look and he can act he is a wrestler after all, plus he has the body wont need a body suit

I like the picks that everyone is saying but i have to say that Dicaprio is a bad choice i just cant see him doing it. Matt Damon i have to say no and Ben Affleck a big time no. I have to say hell no to Matthew Mcconahey come on we want a hero not a stoner. Also from the rumors i have heard Will Smith come on man not trying to racist but Cap was white and thats the way it should stay. Dont want a wrestler but Cena would be good. I can see Mark Wahlberg, Gerard Butler, and Ben Mckenzie.

Cap is #1!!!
Can they get an AMERICAN to play him
& Steve Rodgers.
I like Colin Ferguson, but he is a Canadian.
Hey, I know Ben Affleck as Cap and Matt as Bucky. Both are born on the USA.
Or someone younger, that could pull off being “4F” to Super-soldier.

While I didn’t like “The Marine”, I felt that Cena did a decent acting job. I can see him as Cap with a good director.

[...] they create a great film about the most patriotic hero ever. And who would I like to play Cap? Colin Ferguson, of course, from [...]

Dicaprio doesn’t look like a little boy any more:

He’s almost 34 years old now.

Physique is important but Leo is just too young. I know he’s been frozen in ice and all but he’s still gotta be a battle-worn badass! And after all, he’s the wise voice from the Greatest Generation so a little bit of leather on the face is a good thing. Pitt’s the right age but something is still off about him. Maybe he has a little too much of the “cool and mysterious” image for my taste in Cap. I wish we could go back in time and pluck Robert Redford from “The Natural”, slap 30 pounds on him, and call it a day. For now however, if I had my casting druthers, I’d give the shield to Aaron Eckhart. You can’t deny that chin! Here’s what he’d look like:

Ok first of all let me say that NO wrestlers should play important comic book characters. And if they were already in a comic book movie as a major character, they shouldnt portray another character in the marvel/dc universe, sorry Thomas Jane. That being said I have thought of a few choices for actors who i think could pull off Captain America. And Paul Walker is NOT one of them, he’s just a pretty boy and i have never been impressed by anything he’s done. And dont get me started on Matthew McConaughey…are they serious? Ok…here we go

Gerard Butler – after 300 he has the stature and attitude to play a superhero

Leo DiCaprio – His last few movies have been awesome and if he can get built like he was in Blood Diamond he would make an awesome Cap

Jake Gyllenhall – The guy can act and since they passed on him for spidey, Id like to see him get his due.

Those are my top 3 choices, here are a few others i wouldnt mind seeing in the role but these guys are a little old for the role, but might still be awesome
Peter Sarsgaard
Viggo Mortenson
Daniel-Day Lewis
Josh Brolin
Billy Crudup
Bruce Willis

Thanks for reading

Matt as bucky?? No way!

He’d be good as Cap sure, but again I’d like Mark Wahlberg to play him, as for being built they could give him a believible muscle suit like in Fantastic 4.

Wow some of these picks are horrible. So far i guess the guy from Eureka could play the role….but Matt Damon? Then we could call it the “Captain identity”…Matt would make a good Bucky….but not Cap….

Well neither are Matt Damon or Matt Fox, but yeah I get your point.

Personaly any of those three would have my vote, I think the bulkyness could be made up for, like the muscle suits in the Fantastic Four.
