Runefyst's Pick for Captain America

Runefyst's Pick for Captain America

Here's my two cents on who I think should play the Cap! I'll also weigh in on who I think Ackles should play.

My choice for Steve Rogers is none other than Matt Damon. Some people think he's too old to play the part. Some people would rather see someone like Ackles or Worthington.

I just think Damon's a superb actor, and he's had the experience needed to play the Cap.

He did an excellent job as Private Ryan in one've the best WWII movies I've ever seen.

You know he could handle the fight scenes! The only proof you need would be to watch any of the Bourne movies.

And the guy would probably be able to add creative input as well. He did win an Oscar for writing after all.

And as for looking the part, well I think the way he looks in the new movie, Invictus is just about perfect for the Cap. Maybe just bulk up a little more, and you've got Steve Rogers.

Here are a few pics from the movie:












As for Ackles, I've finally taken the time to watch Supernatural. I'm a few episodes into the first season. (So far, it's great, thanks for the recommendation Josh :) ) From what I've seen, Ackles just seems like he's too good at playing someone who's rough around the edges. And I just don't see Steve Rogers when I look at him!

Do I think he should be in the Avengers???

Yes.

But for me, I picture him either as Hank Pym (I actually think he'd be wonderful for this role!) or Hawkeye (yes LEEE, I said it ;) )

So that's what I think about Captain America.

What do you think?

I've been sayin' Matt Damon for Cap since Lee and those other guys were backing Cockles and Lewis for Cap. I for one think Damon would do a great job as he is a great actor, and a bad ass. I guess next time I have a great opinion, I'll just have to throw out my first article. Great job Runefyst, and great choice!

I hear ya. He's a great suggestion to play Cap. He's an amazing actor and I have no question about whether he could handle the action scenes.

My one complaint/worry would be his height. At 5'10", he's not the tallest option to play the role. I know they can do a lot now days using trick camera angles and such, but I just don't know if they could make it work.

Other than that, I'm all for it.

Runefyst: Im glad you started to watch Supernatural man! :) I knew you'd enjoy i because its an amazing TV show!!

I wouldnt say no to Damon as Cap because I think he's a great actor but I personallywould now prefer someone a little less well known like Ryan McPartlin! Other than him, Ackles remains my #1 choice!

Thanks for the comments guys!

Josh: Yeah, it's funny. I put on my facebook that I started watching it & I got this barrage of messages from people telling me to hurry up so we could talk about it, so I'm guessing the people that watch it really end up liking it!

It's good so far, I'm still getting used to the style. Most shows these days (Prison Break, Lost, Heroes, etc) always, ALWAYS end the show with these huge cliffhangers while Supernatural wraps up the little story each episode. I like it though! I don't have to lose sleep watching it all night to see what happens next, lol.

LEEE: haha, Worthington & that damned t-shirt! I like Worthington, but I just don't see him as Cap. I would definitely accept him in another role in the Marvel universe...not sure what...maybe Wonder Man?

@tobuttica, im pretty sure i was one of the first to say damon for cap, i used to say it to an extent that people would make jokes about it on this site lol. that was like a year ago

Doesn't really matter who said it first really. I've only started posting on this site over the last year or so. But I've thought Damon would be great for Cap for a while now. :)

If they used a big star for Cap then Matt Damon
is the man fer sure!

Otherwise my preferences are for either Ryan
McPartlin, Ackles or Justin Hartley!
