This was a post i had made when we were bombarded with speculations as to who would play the most anticipated super hero to come to the big screen since Ironman. Thank you comicbookmovie for giving me the oportunity to share this with the world!
Everybody's making assumptions of who Captain America will be but to be loyal to the fans as well as the character's...characteristics, we should find an actor that fits the "mold" and still has talent for the part. And since we completely forgot the previous movie made(gag), there are no shoes to fill as the Superman or Batman franchises did(hense why fans whent apeshit about the casting of the so far cancelled JLA movie).
Captain America is a patriotic "monument" as much as a physical one. He's HUGE, he's a freakin "super soldier" for crying out loud which means that Matthew McConaughey and Leo don't fit the profile(sick and tired of cgi crap). I mean i know we want a big blockbuster star to weild the sheild but we can settle for an actor that simply doesn't suck. And it will be a plus when it comes to availability for sequels and team-ups since it is the idea at hand(and we're sick of switching actors for the same role so commitment is an asset). Also, the profile is simple even though it doesn't please everyone. He's a white, blonde, tall and muscular young adult(sorry Big Willy). He's not a teenager nor is he a washed up old man. So let's not pick someone like Shia Lebeouf nor Harrison Ford... get the drift. Talent alone doesn't or shouldn't buy you anything!
There's also the issue of the teen croud which are the main spenders at the theaters so we have to give them someone they'll want to see even if they're not familiar with the character. Since we can't give them someone that they'll identify themselves to, let's at least give them someone they'll aspire to be eventually. Oh and while we're at it, the more, the merrier, let's give someone to the girls that'll make them actually want to tag along with they're boyfriends to go watch the movie. So a pretty face with a boyish charm and a sense of humour but he still has to be MANLY!!!(X-Nay on Ryan Reynolds-ay). So that means a strong voice and manly features like and chin and jaw that'll make the bad guys go "Ouch, i can't break that with my nuckles!" But still be "Grrrr" material for the female croud.
And so in my opinion i can only think of one candidate at the moment which is Jensen Ackles. I think he would be perfect! He's got the look, the voice, the attributes the talent, the popularity and the build even though he would need to buff up for the role, it is possible for him to do so without CGI. And so this is "My Secret Identity Pick", If there be anyone present who may show just and lawful cause why this fine actor may not be legally cast, let him speak now or forever hold his peace.
My Sketch of Jensen Ackles as Captain America!!!
