According to the verified Twitter account of Dane Cook, he has slimmed down or bulked up for either Captain America, or most likely a part in the film. Knowing hi he could be joking, but you never

"Im minus 7% body fat now, bones replaced w/lightweight scandium alloy! Had 2 get shredded 4 Captain America audition & standup tour."
about 3 hours ago

Update:

Not knowing if he was joking or not, I asked Dane if he really was auditoning for the role, and he replied via Twitter:

"@Marvel_Freshman r u really auditioning 4 Captain America? Dc: I did already. They might b goin young. I say go RDJr route-gimme the part!
about 2 hours ago

So this could confirm that he was going in for the part of Steve Rogers, and that Marvel could have passed on him for the role.







MarvelFreshman: I...don't...know, I say if I think John Krasinski could be good, why not Dane. I can see him making the role his own, though unlike Krasinski, I have a hard time picturing him being serious. Anyhow He most likely could be talking about apart in the supporting cast. What do you think?

Ehhh. He doesn't have that WWII look to me. He's not a very good actor either.

Before you comment, think deeply about it. I can easily see Dane in the WW2 era.

I can't sorry but there is no way he could pull this off when he can't even pull off any other role he has been given and that includes a damn cook in "Waiting." Hell he can't even pull off a decent standup performance anymore.

After seeing this picture, they no longer need to cast anyone with dignity as Captain America. So why not Dane Cook!!?

I'd say he was just joking - if not, then I have officially lost all faith in Marvel. It's bad enough they're thinking of casting a pudding faced, big nosed B-Grade actor like John Krasinski never mind this guy!

Guys, check out my BLADE Fan Cast!!! Just click the link!!!

i mean it's not like they're going to just give it too him without auditioning.

i can seperate his doucheness and bad stand-up. i don't hold actors personal lives against them when i watch their movies. excpet for tom cruise.

JoshW@ yeah im sure he's just [frick]in around. knowing it'll be all over the internet.

Dear god no. I can't express how much I do not like the idea of this frat boy as Cap. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing his acting talents, he wasn't that bad in Mr. Brooks, or Dan in Real Life...I just don't plain like the guy.

rumor after rumor after rumor after rumor. This is like a field day for these rumor starters. You wanna know why there are soo many rumors? Because you guys keep believing them. The more rumors you believe, the more there will be.

Cook joking or not, things aren't looking too good for Captain America.

ChristopherM - 3/8/2010, 7:51 PM
if they cast Dane Cook people will be pining for the first Captain America film and the original television films...this movie is in serious trouble if this is the talent pool they're picking from...I understand unknown young television actors...what is their reasoning for looking at a unfunny hack doucheb@g comic like Cook?
Hawksblueyes
Hawksblueyes - 3/8/2010, 7:53 PM
ChristopherM : I'm with you on that. There is no reason for Dane Cook to ever set foot in a casting situation for this film. He's probably full of crap.

Wasn't Dane Cook the one who came up with "Don't talk to me about concentration camps. My grandfather died in one! He fell off the guard tower..." Maybe he'll be a Nazi.

Bullshit.

On the .0000000000000000000000000001 % chance that this is true, why not get Eddie Murphy as Red Skull?
ChristopherM
ChristopherM - 3/8/2010, 8:27 PM
@Hawk

I feel that Cook is trying to be relevant again (which he isn't) and most likely trying to get traffic to his twitter/tour websites....he even mentions the tour in the tweet big alarms go off with me

Since we throwin' out roles, lets get Sarah Silverman to play Captain America!



On the other hand, she is waaay too sexy :P

jjmeylar - 3/8/2010, 8:33 PM
This is, probably, a joke. He's probably just saying this because everybody and their dog is tweeting about their audition. lol

This is not true.

The announcement is coming. Wait and see. Feige won't let fans keep waiting forever.

I believe strongly that unlike Thor, they're going to release the casting all at once. When they announce, everything is just going to be an onslaught of big and small name actors.
WingPow
WingPow - 3/8/2010, 8:42 PM
Plus, he;s 38.

I'm not saying he won't be in the movie, I just think that in terms of being Cap, this is complete BS.
