In an interview with Popeater, Buckley revealed his rarely spoken passion for comic books, including his love of Marvel's star-spangled Avenger. During the conversation, the actor declared his desire to play Steve Rogers in The First Avenger: Captain America.
"Well, hands down I would be Captain America," he said. "Yeah, it's kind of a no contest right there."
However, even if he doesnt get a chance to weild the shield, there are plenty of other comic book characters he'd like to play.
"Having said that, there are so many great books out there, that I'm going to go ahead and just... if Captain America didn't work out, there are a bevy of good choices out there.
Buckley also went on to reveal his envy of Ryan Reynolds who gets to play both Green Lantern and Deadpool, "How selfish is that," laughed Buckley. "He'd better have been chubby and awkward as a kid reading comic books while other kids were riding bikes and being cool, because otherwise that is just way too selfish for a good looking cool kid."
