Canadian Actor, Neal Bledsoe Reads for Part in Captain America

Screenrant has provided an update on the casting of Captain America, including a canadian actor auditioning for a part in the film!

A while ago, it was said that Robert Buckley may not be Captain America, but could possibly have a part in it as Bucky. Well now Screenrant has recieved word from Marvel on the subject, and Screenrant also has gotton word that a canadian actor is reading for a part.

In the case of Captain America, we’ve been hearing from two separate sources that Robert Buckley has screentested for Captain America and may be (or was) in talks for the role of his sidekick, Bucky. We tried to get the official on this but was informed that it wasn’t true. We’ll have to wait on that one.

On the Canadian actor...

Another name we were told of is that of Toronto-born Neal Bledsoe who has gone in for two separate readings for Captain America. While we’re trying to look more into this one, we do know already that director Joe Johnston confirmed that only an American actor will play the title role. He also said we’d know by March 1st who’s playing Cap so things could change I suppose.



MarvelFreshman: It seems he could be apart of the Invaders that Joe Johnston confirmed in the film, but not confirming which ones. We can also expect more internation races in the film, from Kevin Feige saying the film will provide an international cast. What do you think?

I posted this in LEEEs article but haven't really recieved any opinions so I'll post it here also.

I have had a question for quite some time now concerning The First Avenger. I have started to write an editorial more than once but they came off as a rant so I ditched them.

Marvel has put up a website for every single movie or television series or direct to dvd feature it has created, be it live action or animated. Not only have they put up a website for each one but they have put each website up months ahead of any kind of information being availible for the feature.

YET THERE IS STILL NO WEBSITE FOR THE FIRST AVENGER. Nothing, nada, no trace of not only a website but any information at all that comes straight form the companies mouth as anything resembling official. This doesn't make any sense at all to me. Is there anybody reading this that has any sort of theory for this that makes sense?

Thor and Iron Man 2 websites sat completely empty for months. But they were there to see.

I think they know that they have to tread lightly on this one and ya know it would go over better in the world if they used other countries super heroes to instead of just the american ones . Oh and quit complaining about being american , ironman is american , thor is american , and i am from canada and didnt complain when they use an australian for wolverine .

KidZombie : Your right. I just did a little searching. As of Aug. of 09 Universal not only had the rights to Namor but they were actively trying to get a script together for their own movie.

So unless Marvel worked out a deal with them...

No Namor

With The Human Torch being questionable because of Fox, even though the original is a completely different character. And yes they could substitute with Toro.

Possibly no Human Torch

It's looking like a thin Invaders list.

If I remember correctly the original Invaders were Cap, The Human Torch, Namor and Bucky.

Its to bad Jensen isn't going to get this role. He looks like Steve Rodgers. I think he would do a great job. I wish they would just announce it already. It would be funny as hell to have a CBM shirt with my avatar on it. Hell, to just a shirt with my avatar would be funny.

Hawks @ Thats true, UNIVERSAL wants to do an undersea TRILOGY with NAMOR!!!

We can all blame MARVEL!

I don't know what part the 2 of them are up for, whether it's Cap or someone else. But Bledsoe and Krasinski are definitely up for the same part. Look at these pics they could be brothers.

With all these auditions being posted, I am really starting to believe that this movie is going to blow chunks. They need to announce who will play Cap soon and they need to really get it right.

Hawks-Universal does own the rights to Namor but they are very open to working something out with another studio. I believe Multi wrote something about it awhile back so I think Namor should be in.

Lets not forget adding The Whizzer! I mean with a name like that how can you?

Like i've said before this was all erased, [frick] NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a proud Canadian and i still say ONLY an American should play Captain America!!!

JENSEN ACKLES FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA!!!

Bledsoe looks pitch perfect for NAMOR!!!

Hawksblueyes - 3/5/2010, 10:19 AM
Dogs & Multi : Cool, I didn't remember hearing that.I hope something can be worked out.

No to Blazing Skull and the Black Night. Skull was a terrible character .It would have to be two different Black Nights wouldn't it? Dane Whitman came after that.

Does anybody have any theories about my second post?

Gotta have Namor!! This dude for Namor!

@Hawks- That's really interesting. Maybe once they have some casting to report they will put it up? Other than that, I have not friggin idea.
