According to contactmusic.com, the movie based on the patriotic comic book hero will be made by 2011 and actor Matthew McConaughey is being linked with the role--although he claims to be clueless. But Lee has hinted that the lead could go to Smith if Obama becomes the first black president.

Lee said: “I would love us to do something with Will Smith. It would be a real leap to make Captain America black…then again, I don’t know. It might be a really smart thing. If Barack Obama becomes president, who knows… suddenly a lot of our characters will be black.”
