Will Chris Evans be the Face of Marvel Comics Movies Future?

Captain America: The First Avenger marks a new beginning for actor Chris Evans and Marvel Comic's as well. I have reason to believe that Evans will be the face of the entire movie line. From the 2012 release of the Avengers movie to Hulk, Iron Man 3, or any other future Marvel release, Captain America will have a big part in it. Starting with the cast of 'The First Avenger' Chris Evans wasn't their first choice for the lead.

Several others topped Marvels list for the lead roll as Steve Rogers. Like Garrett Hedlund, John Krasinski, Mike Vogel etc. but a busy work load for some of these up and coming stars would keep them from meeting Marvel's demands. Marvel needed someone who wasn't in such high demand at the time, but still maybe have the appeal to become an in house super star. So they look no further then their very own 'Human Torch', Chris Evans. A good young actor whose yet to play a lead in a blockbuster film but good enough to do so.

With Spider-Man belonging to Sony, Captain America will be Marvel films franchise superhero. Robert Downy Jr. and Samuel L. Jackson are too big of stars to commet for a 9 movie deal such as Chris Evans. With Hollywood not exactly knocking down his door, I think Chris Evans will embrace being not only Captain America but the face of Marvel movie's for a long time. Get ready to see Chris Evans aka Captain America's face everywhere! Lunch boxes, BookBags, Happy Meal Toys, action figures, and everything else you can think of. If you ask me Marvel made out pretty cheap for what they are about to make off of the movie franchise. If the movie hits and hits hard which it will how long will they be able to keep Evans in the Marvel Universe! P.S. I guess Chris Evans movie career is alot like Steve Rogers, started off small and weak about to become big and strong.

@Inspace what's up? Glad you checked me out my man, as far as Ant-Man you already know they could make him really big if they chose to but Marvel hand picks which characters they want in starring rolls and which ones they need for supporting cast. Good looking out.

First off, and I don't want to sound rude, but what's the point? Second, Jackson actually signed a 9 picture deal, but his role as Fury will be very similar to that in IM2, a side character. With the exception of The Avengers and any sequels and the rumored Nick Fury film.

Either way, I think you're right in that because of the iconic character that he will be playing, he will become the face of Marvel films.

@ecksmanfan my point exactly. Personally I think Chris Evans will do a great job, Marvel's gonna make Captain America their Superman again like they did in the 70's you feel me? You can market him better than Wolverine and Hulk cause Cap is a pretty boy. Thank you for checking me out, God bless.

@ Anil Rickly First off Chris Pine is in deep with the Star Trek people he has a multi year contract. It might be in writing where he can't make a multi movie contract with another franchise trust me alot of actors wanted the role of Captain America until Marvel mentioned how long and how many movies they would have to commet to. Chris Evans is only getting $300,000 a flick, it was reported several times, Marvel might make 300 million or more, looks like a bad deal to me. It's like Marvel wanted a desperate actor... maybe.

They need to cast R. Lee Ermey for the role of Staff Sgt. Duffy. That would be the icing on the cake!

How in the world was Pines character in Star Trek anything like Steve Rogers, other than a natural leader? Captain Kirk is a cocky SOB and doesn't listen to orders for shit. Steve Rogers is a humble, yes sir type character. Both great leaders, but different characters. Chris Evans in Sunshine embodies Steve Rogers perfectly.

@Cyclopsistherealleader-- Thank You. I'm so confused as to how anyone could think Captain Kirk and Captain America are anything alike aside from the title "Captain." Granted, Chris Pine is a good actor, the types of characters he seems to gravitate toward are very similar to the types of characters Chris Evans has played frequently. To me, casting Chris Pine would have been like casting a slightly less muscular version of Chris Evans, minus Evans' strong, authoritative voice.

I will say this when Marvel wants to they can make some weird shit work when I heard Robert Downey Jr. was Iron Man... I was like WOW a 5'6 recovering drug addict is playing Tony Starks... how is that gonna work and it did or personally I think Denzel Washington with a bald head would be perfect for Nick Fury but Sam L. Jackson is doing his thing no complaints, Triple H should be Thor, the list goes on... but who knows better than Marvel. After Chris Evans hits the weights, becomes blonde, and puts on the costume all ya'll gonna go crazy. Especially when you see a hot trailor of him throwing his sheild, punching chumps in the face... your gonna be like incredible man! Watch just wait and see. Keep in mind Marvel has everything riding on this movie. That's the truth.

Hey ckal! I'm with you!I know that nick fury was made after SLJ I just think DW would be a better leader! but I like SLJ too.watch DW in training day he's BAD ASS!!! RDJ is the man but I had to give him a chance first.some people acting like chris evans can't pull it off. just because they had some one else in mind! I'M SOLD ON IT NOW!! HE'S THE RIGHT PICK!! PS JUST PLAYING ABOUT HHH!!
