We all know by now that Chris Evans was offered the lead role as Steve Rogers, for Marvel’s WW2 adaptation.. With reports originated from THR, and carried on by Hollywood Deadline, Marvel Studios claims “We don’t comment on Rumors”. Which is what they are expected to say, with Chris Evans not sure he wants the role.
The casting for the film, is the hottest thing in Hollywood, and the rumors continue with Big Shiny Robot claiming that the Twilight saga’s, Kellan Lutz and True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgard, might test for the lead role, in case Chris Evans doesn’t process.
Big Shiny Robot specifically says:
"Word around the campfire is that they still might be testing Kellan Lutz (if his Twilight obligations allow) and Alexander Skarsgard, just in case.
My anonymous source did say they were considering Alexander Skarsgard at one point, early on in the casting process. On the casting of Marvel's Thor, Alexander Skarsgard said he was 2nd in line to helm the hammer, while Kenneth Branagh & the crew settled on Chris Hemsworth. And Marvel president, Kevin Feige stated that some guys who were considered for Thor, would be considered for Captain America as well. Though my only concern is that Alexander is Swedish, what do you think?
My anonymous source also said that she/he never heard anything on Kellan Lutz being considered, but it's a great possibility. For me, Kellan Lutz works just as much as Chris Evans would. He has a unique look, that could be the new face of Captain America. Though only big roles Iv'e seen him in is Twilight, so theres no telling how great he could be.
When Kellan Lutz was asked what SuperHero he would want to be, he said.
If I could be a superhero, I think I would be Captain America or the Green Lantern!
With all the number of guys to test finally dying down, I think we can expect an official announcement Monday due that they usually do Press releases Monday. And the last Monday for March is tomorrow, before moving into the "Iron Man 2 Promotional Month", April.
