A new America?

P.S.

ACKLES FOR HAWKEYE!!!

; )

I agree 100%

TEA @ I do NOT like him in the CAP role, total bad miscasting and just because he has blonde hair doesn't make him friggin' STEVE ROGERS!!! : D

I just think as many others, it would FLOP and then what happens to AVENGERS! It'll give it a bad rap before its friggin' out lol, that's what!

ANIL @ Exactly! ; )

HOWLETT @ Lol!!! Heh heh.

TEA @ All you love is that TACKLES A$$!

I bet he shaves it though lol! ; D

WORTHINGTON and LEWIS don't heh heh!

A VIN is a great choice, use your imagination though i said BEHR aint a bad choice its just i got memories of watching him as ROSWELL boy for THREE SEASONS still!

Though he's still much better than all the rest!

I mean who's gonna want HEROES boy as NAMOR after SPOCK??? No friggin' way!!! PPL will not accept that! No way in HELL! : D (plus he's a skinny sh!te too lol).

Personally i cant see how anyone cant see how stupid it'll look when you see him (ackles) up against all the other BIG NAMES and GOOD actors? I would'nt care so much if it was just a CAP movie, though i still think it'll be crap but no way for THE AVENGERS, no way!

I'm with Tyler. RDJ owns the screen and when you add the likes of Jackson, Cheadle, Norton (hopefully), you will be hard pressed to find someone to hold their own. I don't think Ackles stands a snowball's chance against these guys. If I had to pick someone out of all those mentioned that could possibly hold their own, I'd say Worthington or Valley, but even then...

I really think we're going to see an unknown for this role. I have faith that Marvel and Johnston will do this character justice.

Lol @ TYLER! I love the vid man!!! Heh heh.


Difference about HEMSWORTH is he has that UNKNOWN factor about him, ackles don't!

Seriously, its like having WELLING as SUPERMAN in a movie with GENE HACKMAN as LEX LUTHOR! Funny as Fcuk lol! ; D

Ya it shouldn't matter how known they are it matters about actin....now I haven't seen this ackles guy act but he looks like he should be wearin abercrombie and fitch with his collar turned up bein a douchey frat boy chris hemsworth actually looks a lot like thor and even in that 5-10 min scene with him in star trek he killed it he's gonna be one of the next great actors of our time in my opinion and I think that leo has the ability to command as cap he just doesn't have the voice captain americas has to be commandin and boomin like garrett hedlund I think he would be one of the best choices even though rdj will steal the shine I could see garrett and him buttin heads and each demandin to be the leader they also wouldn't have to make cap older cause hedlunds young....also leee do you mean zachary quinto I saw on another cast he was put as daken and I thought that would be perfect even though he's skinny he can bulk up he also is gonna be one of the better actors we see for awhile I think he would be a great namor as well...sorry for the rant GARRETT HEDLUND AS CAP

SABRE @ LEO's is deff interested as CAP!

TYLER @ I thought you loved BRET 'Friggin' HARRISON as WINTER SOLDIER lol!

An HEDLUND for ANGEL WTF?????

InTylerWeTrust82 - I understand your point. Talent wise, having Speedman is not really different than Ackles. Physically though it's a massive difference. Speedman has a much more formidable look about him. In all the shots I've seen of Ackles trying to look "hard" or "serious" he looks doped up! His eyes droop like he's high. Speedman has a good chiseled jaw, stronger neck and shoulders to stand up convincingly. Talent wise there aren't many who can command RDJ, Jackson, Cheadle and Norton but at least Speedman has a shot of casting the illusion.

Howlett: Those pictures up there you posted of Speedman are not formidable looking at all IMO. He looks like a major D-bag. I doubt Speedman would be able to cast an illusion like that.

But I do agree about Leo. He is wrong for Cap. Great actor, but wrong for Cap.

Yeah, I should have said I don't see him as Steve Rogers hehe.

Is it me, or does he remind anyone else of Aaron Eckhart in the first pic?

Hehe, definitely.

Worthington for Captain Australia



Chris Pine for Hawkeye

Yeah, and start the Luke Goss for Namor campaign while you're at it! ;)

Luke Goss (or Jason Behr) for Namor!

Damn it! Why isn't there a captain Australia? We keep gettng shafted. Every other bloody western nation has a hero.

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers for Namor!

pamela anderson for captain america

Garrett Hedlund for cap damnit

This is a copy paste from the IMDB thread which no longer appears on the main. It’s not aimed at you personally Howlett and I haven’t read the posts on this thread.

The role's requirements are UNDISPUTED beyond all debate. Steve Rodgers is a 6'2" tall, 26 year old who is a blond haired, bleue eyed american that is given a super soldier sirum and then is frozen for years. It is as simple as that. Now normaly, for roles that require young actors, sometimes it is better to find unkowns that aren't already "type cast". But for us fans, it is IMPOSSIBLE to know who would be the perfect choice aside from "known" actors. So it's only natural to want for the best possible choice out of the actors we're already aware of, to get the gig.

Now REGARDLESS of all the arguments of the actor having to stand in the company of RDJ and SLJ, the casting agencies have their orders! The role's requirements are OBSOLETE! It's the chosen actor's job to deliver a stellar performance and it's the director's job to make sure all the actors on set are at the same level on screen even though their resumes would state otherwise. Now the argument of whether the chosen actor has the required resume or not is also beside the point because as actors they are required to portray different personalities in different roles. Granted for us fans, it does put a kink in our hopes and dreams if say Ryan Reynolds is cast as Green Lantern but it's still the studio's job to proove us all wrong and to blow all our minds to smitherines at the box office. But what if one of the actors that did fit ALL the requirements ALSO HAD past experiences in very very similar roles??? Wouldn't it also be logical in all "common sense" for us to want that particular actor in the role?

You see, you can't please EVERYONE in the entertainment field so whoever they do cast aside from unkowns, will be met with as much praise as prejudice. But everyone can agree on the fact that any actor's job is to deliver the performance so personal tastes CAN be put aside. And if we had to go with the actor that fullfils the most aspects that the role required, Jensen Ackles is by far the best choice. I'm truly not saying that as a Supernatural fan. Brandon Routh was also the best choice for Superman as was Christian Bale for Batman. All three have a "decent" resume but whether the franchise sinks or sails, it NEVER is the actor's fault. The actor does what he is ASKED to do. If the actor is not competent enough, it's the casting agency's fault as much as the Director's. So it is stupid to say that an actor could ever be the ONLY reason for the downfall of the franchise. The story and it's direction is what can make or break a franchise and judging by Marvel's track record, this movie is setting up to be out of this world spectacular whether Ackles stars in it or not, as Cap or Hawkeye or any other role.

In my honnest opinion, Jensen is a very decent actor in any show or film he's ever done whether the script or concept sucked or not. And putting all opinions aside, right now, IN THE WHOLE INDUSTRY, Jensen Ackles is the ONLY (dirty) Blond Haired, Bleue Eyed, 6'1 American actor that has an athlete's build (which is what the super soldier is), can still look like he's in his late 20ies and that ever has played a similar performance to Steve Rogers's character. Now whether you or anyone on here "likes" him or not is actually besides the fact that he fits perfectly the role's requirements. Here's another fact, Jensen has more people that DO like him than people who don't regardless of CBM posters's tamper tantrums in front of this reality. And "common sense" and "logic" are siding with the role's requirements.

So that's why i've started this whole Jensen Campaign way back in October 2008. That was when i bought my girlfriend the three seasons of Supernatural, that's when i first saw Jensen Ackles's acting and it's also when it hit me like a ton of bricks that he is one of the best choices for Captain America. It's about the time where the fansites first started and naturally, it was my first order of business to start the "Jensen Ackles for Captain America" campaign on CBM.

In no way, shape or form does Sam Worthington fit this character. And as you can see for yourself, NO ONE on here can bring a better argument than mine. They say Jensen sucks and that he doesn't fit the role but they can't say why. They can't go passed their own personal tastes. They're all biased but they don't realise that the casting agencies aren't and Marvel isn't either. They didn't just hand Thor's role to Hemsworth all gift wrapped after watching Star Trek with a bowl of popcorn. They made him audition like 3 or 4 times. And that's EXACTLY what they'll do to ANY actor on the list for Cap. I just hope that Jensen is on it. He is the undisputed best contender so far. Not because of this silly poll we had but on account of him fitting EVERY SINGLE requirement the role has.

And I enjoyed Scott in Underworld and i think he's a decent actor but nothing stellar. I would enjoy him as much if he was Cap but i personaly prefer Jensen's acting and presence which is much much more commanding than Scott's. In fact, Wentworth Miller was more commanding than Speedman in Underworld. He had what... 10 lines at the most??? I honestly and truthfully don’t see where you say Jensen would fail where Scott would succeed. They are both in the same range of acting talent but Jensen has the advantage of his character in Supernatural. The only thing remotely close to Cap that Scott has played is a half vampire, half werewolf in Underworld… not very close now is it??? And IMO, the whole charm behind the concept of Captain America joining the Avengers was for him to EARN his leadership. His leadership is a privilege which he has to EARN, not a right that is merely handed to him for wearing the red white and blue. So NO they shouldn't choose an older actor, any young actor cast as Cap is supposed to have the talent to EARN the character’s leadership and it’s up to the casting agencies to choose the right one as well as the director’s responsibility to make sure that no one get’s overshadowed on screen. Whether it’s Speedman, Miller or Ackles, it doesn’t matter but nothing can take away the fact that Jensen fits the bill much more than Speedman.

BTW LEEE- Speedman IS NOT UNKNOWN. Neither is Worthington now. No one's UNKNOWN if there known. Everybody saw Underworld and most watched Felicity which was his big break. He's not unknown. Stop saying ANY choice is better than Ackles cause it's retarded.
