UPDATE 2:
Hollywood Deadline is verifying the casting news.
"Marvel Studios is moving toward a deal with Chris Evans to star in The Captain America movie. This was a world class bake-off, though I heard that Channing Tatum and Garret Hedlund passed. Now it’s down to negotiating, where Marvel plays hard."
UPDATE:
Variety is now confirming that Chris Evans has accepted the role and will be playing Captain America.
"Chris Evans will don the star-spangled superhero suit to play Captain America for Marvel Entertainment. Deal calls for Evans to star in at least three "Captain America" movies, as well as "The Avengers," which will assemble Iron Man, Thor and the Incredible Hulk in one pic."
According to THR once again, Chris Evans has accepted the role of Captain America.
Sources tell us the actor has not only accepted Marvel's offer, first detailed on Friday, but that the dealmaking moved so fast it's now all about dotting the i's and crossing the t's.
Of course, Marvel & Chris Evans's representatives still aren't commenting. Chris apparently was offered the role Friday, and took the weekend to decide. With this still not being anything confirmed, it's pretty obvious he could be Our new Captain America.
