Scott Porter or Garrett Hedlund Only Serious Choices For The Role of Captain America!

I know some of us have this silly notion Jensen Ackles is not Clint Barton (Hawkeye), i'm telling you he was born for the part! Think Garrett Hedlund or Scott Porter for Captain America, because Ackles purple boots are filled, no red boots allowed!

Hawkeye (Clint Barton), also known as Ronin and Goliath (Although he'll just be Hawkeye in the "Hawkeye" movie of course), is a fictional character that appears in many comic books published by Marvel Comics. Hawkeye first appeared in Tales of Suspense #57 in September 1964 and was created by writer Stan 'The Man' Lee and artist Don Heck.




Yes Jensen Ackles is Hawkeye:










Clint Barton was an orphan, and ran away from the orphanage as a pre-teen to join the circus as a carnival performer, where he was trained in the use of the bow and arrow by the Swordsman and Trickshot. When he discovered that his mentors were both criminals he rejected them, leading to a beating by Swordsman which left Barton badly injured and hospitalized. Years later, he saw Iron Man in action, and was inspired and decided to become a costumed hero called Hawkeye. However, there is a misunderstanding on Hawkeye's first outing and he is believed to be a criminal, accused of theft.

On the run, the naive Hawkeye meets the Black Widow, a spy for the Soviet Union, whom he falls in love with. She tricks him into helping her to steal technology developed by Tony Stark, Iron Man's alter ego. After several battles with Iron Man — who defeats the pair on every occasion — the Black Widow is injured and Hawkeye flees with her, deciding to go "straight" from then on. Hawkeye later "applies" for membership in the superhero team the Avengers, by breaking into Avengers Mansion and binding and gagging the team's butler, Edwin Jarvis. Hawkeye is accepted, and together with leader Captain America and mutant siblings Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch become the new team when the original members take a leave of absence.

I think Jensen Ackles is the perfect actor for the part, because he has that asshole attitude that is sorely needed for Hawkeye, plus he looks an exact copy of Clint Barton that don't hurt either. Jensen Ackles is perfect for Hawkeye! Just close your eyes, heck yeah.

Now for a couple of Clint's friends: ; P

Laura Vandervoort as Mockingbird:



Born in San Diego, California, Mockingbird is introduced as a S.H.I.E.L.D. operative. As an espionage agent, S.H.I.E.L.D. sends Bobbi on a mission to contact Ka-Zar. With fiancé Paul Allen, she journeys to the Savage Land. The two were both scientists working on Dr. Wilma Calvin's Project: Gladiator, which developed the serum that turned their colleague, Ted Sallis, into the Man-Thing. With Ka-Zar and Man-Thing, she then battles AIM, which is ultimately revealed as being led by Allen, whom she pretended to love only on S.H.I.E.L.D. orders, in the Florida Everglades. Bobbi later journeys back to the Savage Land. Alongside Ka-Zar, she battles Maa-Gorr and El Tigre. Alongside Shanna, she journeys to the Savage Land once more. Alongside Ka-Zar and Shanna, she battles Grond. Bobbi briefly takes the identity of the Huntress. She battles the renegade S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Rico Santana.

Bobbi later assumes the identity of Mockingbird. As Mockingbird, she teams with Spider-Man to battle renegade S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Carl Delandan. She then meets Hawkeye and helps him against the villainous Crossfire, Silencer, Oddball, and Bombshell. She and Hawkeye grow close and begin a whirlwind romance, which culminates in elopement with him. Afterwards, Mockingbird and Hawkeye return to the Avengers, whom Bobbi meets for the first time. With Hawkeye, Tigra, Wonder Man, and Jim Rhodes as Iron Man, she forms the West Coast Avengers. Alongside the original Iron Man, Hawkeye, and Tigra, she later battles Doctor Demonicus.

Laura Vandervoort is a talented young actress and i think she was born for this Marvel role hand down i can see her kick ass in the Marvel Universe, no other actress comes close, she is Mockingbird.


Michael Fassbender as Trick shot:



Trick Shot began his professional criminal career as an assassin, working as an archer in a traveling circus. There, he met a boy named Clint Barton, who would later become the master archer and Avenger Hawkeye. Although Swordsman had been training the young boy in the art of throwing knives, Swordsman thought the boy might have more value to him as an archer and arranged for Trick Shot, then the star attraction of Carson's Carnival of Traveling Wonders, to take over his training.

After the Swordsman robbed the carnival's paymaster to pay off gambling debts, Clint Barton came upon him counting the money and the Swordsman tried to kill Barton, seriously injuring him before Trick Shot intervened and saved his life. Once Clint recovered, Trick Shot involved him in an extortion scheme, which coincidentally involved the man that loaned money to the Swordsman. Trick Shot killed the man, and Barton shot one of the guards with an arrow — the guard turned out to be Barton's older brother Barney. Shocked by what he had done, Clint rebelled and the two archers shot at each other. The more experienced Trick Shot impaled Barton on a tree and told him that he would come back to kill him.

Hot actor right now in Hollywood, i think Fassbender has the the talent to make Trick shot something special on screen, the deadliest rogue to do battle with Hawkeye. Michael Fassbender is perfect for Trick shot.

Clint as Ronin:




Well i think thats enough about Hawkeye and friends, check these two main contenders out for who should own the shield:


Garret Hedlund as Captain America:



Garrett John Hedlund (born September 3, 1984) is an American actor known for his role in the movie Four Brothers.

Hedlund was born in Roseau, Minnesota. He was discovered while attending a ProScout event in Phoenix, Arizona.

Garrett made his acting debut in 2004 as Patroclus in Troy. The film, which starred Brad Pitt, was released May 14, 2004 to mixed reviews, but debuted #1 at the US Box Office and went on to gross over $487 million worldwide. He also starred as Don Billingsley in the Teen Drama film Friday Night Lights in 2004.
He starred as Jack Mercer alongside Mark Wahlberg in the Action/Crime film Four Brothers. The film, which received mixed reviews, was a box office success earning worldwide $92,494,381.

In 2009, he was rumored to appear in the independent film Hectic as Louis. It was announced in 2009 that he would play the leading role in the highly anticipated film Tron Legacy, a sequel to the 1982 film Tron.

The guy is tough and can pull off Steve Rogers easy, plus he looks a super soldier!


Scott Porter as Captain America:



Matthew Scott Porter (born July 14, 1979) is an American singer and actor known on his role as Jason Street in the NBC television drama Friday Night Lights. His character was injured during a football game in the pilot episode and became a quadriplegic. The character was inspired by David Edwards, a Texas high school football player who suffered a spinal cord injury in a game in 2003.

Porter was born in Omaha, Nebraska, but later moved to Winter Park, Florida. Prior to joining the cast of Friday Night Lights, Porter played Matthew in the original cast of the Off-Broadway hit Altar Boyz. He can be heard on the show's cast recording. In 2006, he temporarily took over the role of Casey Hughes in the soap opera As the World Turns, a role originally portrayed by Zach Roerig. He also plays the role of Colin Thompson, the more visible part of the duo that fronts the fictional band PoP!, in the movie Music and Lyrics (Warner Brothers, 2007). Scott also played the part of 'Rex' in the film Speed Racer (2008) which was directed and written by the Wachowski brothers. He played Bobby in the remake of Prom Night and Ben Wheatly in Bandslam, released in August 2009. In the latter film, he co-starred alongside Aly Michalka, Gaelan Connell, Vanessa Hudgens, and Lisa Kudrow among others. In the same year, he was paired also paired with The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star Alexis Bledel in their romantic-comedy filmed The Good Guy which premiered on Trebicca Film Festival Porter is also a big fan of comic books and has auditioned for several comic book hero roles. He is also purportedly a big fan of Heroclix. Porter performed and sung the song Someone To Fall back On in the battle of the band finale in the film Bandslam and his song Pretend included to Bandslam (soundtrack). He was part of his high school's choral department and was a founding member of the groups 4:2:Five and Mosaic. Eventually performed off-broadway with another A Cappella band named "Toxic Audio".

In 2010, he appeared in the feature film Dear John, adapted from the book of the same name.

This guy could even be a better pick than Hedlund, he has everything and a bonus if you see him on the street, he still has that unknown factor about him, just what we need for Steve Rogers!

I find it funny that you shit on Evans as Flash because it's too similar to Human Torch, but every chance you get you say Ackles for Hawkeye, who is basically the same exact character as Dean. Come on man, you have to admit that's a little inconsistent. And don't get pissed off, if you saw me do the same thing, would you not point it out?

But, regarding the actual cast, Vandervoort sucks and Fassbender should be Union Jack ideally. But I wouldn't mind him as Trick Shot.

I can see Hedlund being a decent Cap, I liked him in Friday Night Lights and he was great in Death Sentence, he's definitely one of the better choices off that shit list.

Porter, eh, he looks and sounds too boyish for Cap. I like him as an actor, he showed potential in the first season of FNL that I watched, but Captain America? Not so sure. But he does have the advantage of being a huge comic fan.

TYLER @ NO JIZZING IN HERE! ; p

Thanks for your comment man, i gotta disagree though lol, well about MOCKINGBIRD, she is perfect for that character dude! As for my pick of TORCH and WALLY WEST too is, i wouldn't want RYAN in the role of TORCH if he got WALLY and vice versa man, i'd luv him in either roles but not both!

As for DEAN (isn't a comic book character dude) Ackles would cream HAWKEYE! Thanx for your thought out comment TYLER good stuff! ; )

But we all gotta agree NO to JOHN =



I'd like him to have a part in the CAP movie, just not STEVE ROGERS lol! ; D

Hedlund I like his character on Friday Night Lights. HE'S A LEADER,CLEAN-CUT,ALL-AMERICAN TYPE GUY,BUT he's going to need a padded suit to play the Capt and how tall is he? He cant be more than 5'10-6'0 maybe...Im not sure about this guy. Capt America is suppose to be the peak of human perfection and this guy clearly isnt.

If Jon Cena could act I'd LOVE TO SEE HIM AS CAPT.AMERICA he has the look locked down. Im sure there must be some guy in hollywood 6'1-6'4 over 200lbs fit and have decent-good acting skills.

Matt Damon would've made a good Capt several years ago and if he was a little taller, because he's shown he can bulk up for a role and he's a great actor.

InTylerWeTrust - 2/25/2010, 1:17 PM
But just because Dean isn't a comic character doesn't make your argument consistent. You always say "Evans already played the exact same character! He's a lazy choice!" And Ackles also already played the same exact character, and like it or not, he is a lazy choice for Hawkeye. And I'd say Booster Gold is DC's Human Torch, not Wally. Torch and Booster are more the attention seekers and asshole loudmouths, Wally is just more of a wise cracker.

Vandervoort sucked it up on Smallville, haven't seen anything good from her. And she's got Miss Piggy's nose. Josh said she's a lot better on V, but I don't watch that show, so I can't comment.

Krasinski could possibly give a good performance as Cap, but he kind of is all wrong physically. But he'd be perfect for this Cap:

Oh and you said "cream Hawkeye" not scream. Don't change it though, it sounds funnier that way :)

Lee, I don't understand why you throw every barb you can at Ackles for Cap but say he's perfect for Hawkeye.

They are far from the same but they do have a lot of similar characteristics:
soldier
body trained to near human perfection
able to use specialty weapon as almost an extension of their own body

shall I go on?

Ackles would make a great Hawkeye, but I think he could also make a great Cap too. Tyler makes a good point about his Supernatural character being like Hawkeye.

I also like Porter over Hedlund.

i'd prefer Jeremy Renner for Hawkeye, and TAckles to just stay away from these movies!

I can't decide on Cap either. Portner looks like Steve Rodgers, but Hedlund looks like cap O.o

@LEEE switch em up, mix n'match. put Portner in Cap mask, I can't decide...

either way, whoever's chosen, someone's gonna be pissed. but you'll never know.... Look how much Tobey surprised us in the FIRST Spider-Man, andthe SECOND as well. Same thing or Elijah Wood s Frodo Baggins. Whoever is chosen could turn out pretty good...

Also to TAckles fans: Has there ever been someone you wanted for a specific role tht you fealt was absolutley perfect, and then they were chosen. and then when you see the film, it just sucked? don't you think that could happen to TAckles?
DDD
DDD - 2/25/2010, 7:31 PM
Scott Porter would make a good CAP!
Him and Jensen are the best on the
looooong short list!!!

Hedlund is a twig!

Jensen could play Hawkeye cuz he's a good
actor but I think that would be a waste of
his leadership qualities! ACKLES is more of
a front man not a sidekick!

GUYS @ LOL!

1chris2 @ It was'nt me dude, and your right he does!! ; )

CITIZEN theres a unatural love for ackles a$$ at cbm.com its sickening, bottom line if TACKLES got cap in would be the doom of the franchise!!!

This is why its got to be HAWKEYE for the guy IF he was in AVENGERS, a cameo, smaller role is fine! : p


ROCKnROLL @ I see your point, think the BIG picture.....

IF you had a choice and T'ackles had to be in the Avengers movie, think HAWKEYE!!!

The more you want RIMMER HOBBIT boy, good actor but no way anything like CLINT... at all! tHE MORE CHANCE [frick]ING G'ackles has of getting the lead role, and if he did get cap,that would be the end of the franchise series before it had begun. Total miscast and his over acting is totally wrong for the character of STEVE ROGERS!!

I seriously think MARVEL have kept him in, only to please the k'ackles fans while they pick a decent CAP? After all they have said many a times, they want an UNKNOWN for the role, and a UNKNOWN is perfect!!!

P.S. I'd rather RENNER get the CAP job than him, infact i bet that could happen! ; )
