A Look At What Might Have Been If John Krasinski Landed The Cap Role!

This will at least give you a chuckle!

With recent news putting John Krasinski, among others, out of the running for the elusive Captain America role, I thought it would be at least worth a look of what might have been. Forgive me if all you savvy CBM'ers have seen any rendition before of John suiting up the Red, White, and Blue.



After seeing this pic it feels like I have dogged a very big ear' d bullet.

Stay with what your good at John. Keep making us laugh on 'The Office'! As for Cap Chris Evens is now rumored to be in the running. Out of everyone that was left on the Marvel Movie Roundup's 'Wish List' I think Evens would nail the role. Guess we will just have to wait and see.

Many thanks to elguapo1 (you guys probably know him better as ElGuapo, the famous editor over at LatinoReview.com) over at Twitter for posting this pic.

Good Lord, that was one of the scariest moments in CBM history. I know now without a doubt that the Lord is my Shepperd and shall not forsake us in our moment of need. Amen ...

Definitely for the best then. Speaking of which, I know a lot of people want Jensen Ackles ( did I spell that right) for Cap and I agree except for when I hear him speak. He sounds more like what Hawkeye should sound like and not Cap. I don't know, just saying.

LMAO, I want to laugh but I'm still too horrified at the thought that this guy was nearly Captain America! :)

Guys, check out Part Two of my CABLE Fan Cast!!! Just click the link!!!

mobile1ph - I'm with you man. That cocky/chip on his shoulder kind of attitude which seems to really be how he is, would be PERFECT for Hawkeye! Ryan McPartlin for Cap!!!!

The only way I could see Krasinski as Steve Rogers would be pre super soldier serum. Even if he bulked up for the role I just imagine him always doing that akward eye contact thing he does on the Office.

@Talontd maybe he could start out as Krasinski, then after serum, morph into Evans..
McLovin
McLovin - 3/10/2010, 3:31 PM
Talontd - I know you mean well, but please no more pics of shirtless dudes. Please!
Chris Evans is also wrong for the part for the same reason Ackles is wrong for the part. Having said that, they are still better than the other names I keep hearing. There are far too many "actors" (and I use the term loosely) that give me that "not so fresh feeling" that are up for this part. Having said that, there are also very few actors that could fit the part and have the acting chops to play Cap. Cap is not Superman or Batman, he will have a strong type A personality that commands attention and exudes confidence without coming across as an a-hole. I'm still hopeful that this guy is out there some where.

I just read an article in a local Tampa free paper called the Tampa Bay Times (TBT) that quoted our own Marvel Freshman on an interview he did with Dane Cook. He confirmed that Dane has already tried out for the part of Cap.

CBM.com is taking over the world !!!!

I think Krasinski is just positioning himself by claiming to be looking for work elsewhere. Fingers crossed he will still be Cap!

He's not claiming anything mark V...he signed a two picture deal for a rom com that will keep him from being captain america. So it looks like we'll never get to see this:

i dont know what this guy ever did to get so much hate from you guys. if you wanna hate on marvel for making a dumb choice thats fine, by why everyone is giving him shit for trying to get a role that any one would die for is beyond me.

DaenerysTargaryen - 3/10/2010, 4:16 PM

@superdog : exactly my thots.. I mean.. he might be all wrong for Cap, but the poor guy doesn't deserve the hate.. n

@Talontd : Cmon dude.. dats not a very flattering pic of Krasinski.. while evans ws giving his best homophobic pose :D..

@McLovin

Sorry man, I pretty secure in my sexuality...shirtless dudes don't make me all quezy inside. But hey, if this will make you feel better:



As for JENSEN ACKLES and CHRIS EVANS being unsuitable, I wholeheartedly disagree. In EVANS more popular roles he has shown his ability for action, but it's in his lesser known roles that he's shown great range. London & Sunshine being good examples. As for why ACKLES is good, well, it's because Jensen Ackles is the living embodiment of Captain America!

I agree with you guys on Chris Evans. He proved himself on "Street Kings". I mean, he already showed that he is good in serious stuff when he was in "Cellular", but even so. "Street Kings" made him better for this role, in my book, than a lot of other guys.

McLovin - 3/10/2010, 4:33 PM
Starsapphire - I thought you said we had been unfair to the guy?

p.s. that was pretty hilarious though ;-)

Dude, I shot water out of my nose when I read your post....well done. LMFAO!

@mpk1988

Haha, that was kinda the point bro.
jjmeylar
jjmeylar - 3/10/2010, 4:38 PM
@Evil40L My friend Jennifer wanted him for the role. I don't know why, she just did. She fins him attractive, actually. Also, he was in that Handsome Men's Club thing on Kimmel on Sunday night. I don't know how. I mean, I'm not one to be able to judge the looks of a guy((because I'm not gay)), but he looks like Ricky Gervais' nose was enlarged put on an Elephant.

Talontd - OMG!!! It's Stacy Keibler!!! Oh God, her ass is the 9th Wonder of the world! Thanks man, I love you for putting that up (in a totally heterosexual / man-bonding kind of way)
Talontd
Talontd - 3/10/2010, 4:44 PM
@Blee

That is the delicious Stacy Keibler. Enjoy:








@McLovin

No prob homie.

@Mclovin

Since he's not in the running anymore, then I wouldn't feel bad for making fun of him. I wouldn't wanna make fun of a person in the running for cap...well not a lot.
