Editor in Chief of Marvel Comics let's us in on how Captain America will come back to life from being dead in the comic book. Just in time for the movie to hit.

"The original Captain America is finally coming back," Marvel Comics editor in chief Joe Quesada told the Daily News. "We've been patiently planning for this moment for 21/2 years."

Captain America will return next month in a five-comic book series, "Captain America Reborn."

Steve Rogers will again be the best of The Red White, and Blue: Captain America.

Marvel writer Ed Brubaker was shocked from the initial reaction from the fans after they offed the good Captain.

"I was stunned at the global reaction when Captain America was gunned down on the steps of a courthouse.

"It was crazy," said Brubaker. "I had shock jocks calling me up at 5:30 in the morning - they got my home number somehow - and they were like, 'Ed, tell us it's not true, tell us Captain America is not dead.'"

"He's a pop culture icon," said Bryan Hitch, artist for "Captain America Reborn."

"Captain America at heart is a bit of an old-fashioned guy - he looks like Brad Pitt, but smells like your granddad."

Captain America throws his shield into theaters July 22, 2011.

They had to bring him back... The movies carry SO much power.

Same with 616 Wolverine going black leather and maskless, Hulk returning to Dumb Hulk after being the fan beloved Green Scar...

To generate interest in Movies, and boost non-comic fan's sales, they HAVE to do it.

Not that im not stoked that cap is back but it is hard to feel anything when they kill someone off when they always bring em back.

Ugh he should of been left dead it ruins the entire story now. His death was pretty much meaningless now.

With that said they better bring back Bruce Wayne because his comics have gone to crap with out him.

Im down for Ackles, his pops name is Roger. As long as we get an American to play Cap. I sound like my grandpa.

SirPrize...thats one of my favorite bands Type-O-Negative (Bloody Kisses). Best Album is October Rust.

Pitt as the Cap...I think its spot on.
Acting skills will not be questioned, he can pull it off. Brad have that 1940's WW2 soldier look of capt and the physique. But they might have to do some Tom Cruise type of camera angle to make him look bigger than he is.

Christian Bale and Micheal Keaton pulled off being Bat Man without being huge and overly muculare.

Keaton isnt even 6'

The only down side is that Brad will start to show his age if they do a three parter.

I completely agree Wulf... Pitt is to old for it either way damn it ...

alten2345 - 6/15/2009, 12:35 PM
So are all you Ackles fanatics going to give whoever they cast a chance or are you going to bash the movie for the next two years after your boy gets left out in the cold lol?

I'm actually pretty excited for Cap to come back. It was expected but if they handle it correctly it shouldn't take anything away from the story that's been told so far.

Hellmont - 6/15/2009, 12:42 PM
Well if it happens to be Brad Pitt which I am not rooting because he is too old to be Cap. Cap as with all Super Heroes they are not suppose to look any older than 35 because it goes back to being at the peak of your life and Jesus Christ him dying at the age of 33 not 22.

But the only thing I can say is that Pitt moves and looks good with a shield strapped to his back....take a look.

stupify_me - 6/15/2009, 12:44 PM
I think Pitt is completely wrong for this part. To old and to small. This is Cap's origin he's suppose to be younger and getting started. If I remember correctly he has to be a private in the army then get in the super soldier program. What kind of 40 year old man is a private in the army? Seriously What kind of 40 year old man is in the army and not an upper ranking officer?

Ackles for nothing anywhere near a comic book movie, except for perhaps the role of crushed bystander.

Pitt as Cap is perfect. Part of the greatness of Cap is that he isn't a young pretty boy, he is an older guy, he has been doing it for years.

I really think that Pitt name drop was nothing to do with casting guys! In fact im willing to bet that ol Brad wont even get a look in. If the film makers drop by this site though, Ackles may very well! Iv never seen someones name so plastered over a website before..so im gonna chime in and hope they see my pic...

PAUL GIAMMATTI FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA DAMMIT!

Pitt would be kinda cool just cause they would have called it on Sam L Jackson and Pitt in The Ultimates.

FateSucks- Yes, he has been doin it for years... even in his "origin" story... genius.

alten2345- As long as they give us enough time to adapt before the film gets out LOL :P I just want them to give us who they have in mind as they're "handful" of candidates. Just to give us an idea of where they're going with this.

Roar- Hey i didn't say it, Quasada did LOL :P

Just because Hitch said that He looks like Brad Pitt, doesn't mean that IS him in the role. Hopefully, they can find someone younger and a better actor(known name or not) than Brad Pitt...

whoever they pick cap 2 be, they pick him for the right reasons, a person who embodies american patrionism... remember how people slated ed norton for being banner? yet he pulled it off amazingly... once these films are all tied in 2gether i cannot wait for the avengers... n e 1 got a fast forward button i can borrow ???
