However, neither one of those guys looks like Captain America...at all, although both can lead and sell a movie easily, especially a comic book movie, and both will draw non-comic fans in like craaaazzzyyy
Thor is a hard one to do, pitt pulled off his role in Troy well but how do you do the size of thor...and how would he look as thor compared to the others in Avengers. Thor should have that big "oh s***" factor for being so badass and huge.
I don't think Leo could do either, Pitt I guess I wouldn't mind as Thor but they'd have to be crazy creative and as long as the guy doesn't demand absurd amounts of money from Marvel, I'll support him. (And as long as he does the sequels and Avengers)
How about Mark Wahlberg?
People were all up in arms about Matt as Captain America but I think he's a great fit. I don't understand all the fanboy angst against him in the role.

Brad Pitt could do it, he is a great actor and is good with the action scenes. I like Matthew McConaughey as a choice as well. Just wondering if it is a origin story, shouldn't Cap be a younger actor???
Isn't Pitt a bit old to play Captain America? Reminds me of him playing Achilles, a really young man who could pass off as a woman. Oh dear. That was bad.
If they want the first, sure, you can have Mc Matt, but he doesn't get my vote. I'd prefer to see a no-name, really. Or atleast someone people don't immediately recognize. I mean, Captain America, although famous in the comic world (RIP) isn't really known to the public at all. I imagine they'll have to explain a bit, which is hard to do with stars like that.
On the opposing side, you can't have a no-name leading a bunch of stars in The Avengers. Can you imagine RDJ and Ed Norton taking orders from some guy we've never heard of? Too big of a chance. I mean, it could turn out like Casino Royale and be an amazing decision, but with all these Marvel movies getting so popular I doubt they'll risk it.
Whew, I gotta start writing less. All in all, my pick is Casper Van Dien-- as long as the story isn't too complicated =P
Rev
Casper Van Dien.

I just checked Ferguson's IMDB page, and no I didn't see any roles on soap operas. Lots of tv roles and a few movies as well, but his work on Eureka is great.
no wrestlers, we're done with crap marvel films
A good, young unknown for Cap is the only way to go, IMO.
Cap is tough to cast, but Pitt for an Ultimates-type Thor movie ain't too shabby a prospect.
And he wasn't kidding.....»
Its clear that getting an unknown actor to play ANY of Marvels superheros is NOT in the plans.
Now that Robert Downey Jr, rewrote the book on Superhero casting 101, its obvious that Marvel only wants A-Listers to play the big roles.
Think about Avengers, Marvel dosnt want big stars mixed in with unknowns and there's no time to build a career like Routh has done.
I think Pitt is just *buzzspin* right now, but Dicaprio is the "prize".
His fanbase is huge and that's what Marvel wants....!
I'm sure Marvel is reading this site so it will be very interesting to see what happens...?
One thing about DiCaps size, remember that even Schwarzenegger is under 6ft. Arnolds around 5-11...
Not that I would totally be in favor of DiCaprio, I can see how they can make it work... And he does have a great smile for the closing scenes.
One of my picks would be the actor that plays Apollo in BSG. He would be perfect.
Anyway........;-)
Before you jump all over me, go watch that movie (which was excellent, BTW) all the way through. He's list the "little boy" look he had in "Titanic" and is starting to mature and fill out a bit.
Vic
But take a look at a cap america comic book, that's what makes me unsure. At the same time, he's an amazing actor and with movie magic who knows how they could change his look a little.
You should see Al Pacino he's like 5'2.
I know I will hear it about this one, but I say give Triple H a chance at Thor. Let him at least read for the part and see if he can pull it off. I mean with all the Thee's and Thou's in the movie it will be tough for anyone, and Tripple H looks like Thor.....almost identical.
Brad Pitt would be a better fit for Captain America than Thor, imo. Although he'd be good either way. But the thing is, it would be difficult to look past the fact that it is Brad Pitt playing Captain America or Thor. He may be TOO much of a famous face.
I used to not like Leonardo DiCaprio, but now I've realized he's a much better actor than I originally thought. Still, unless he works out like nuts, he's definitely not right for Cap America... although he'd be good as the "original" Steve Rogers who was too puny to join the war until he had the Super-Solder serum injected into him, lol.
Why so insistant that it WONT happen? I dont think anyone said it was GOING to happen. This is all speculation, and anything is possible. Hey, maybe Triple H gets acting lessons and learns how to play that type of character. I was just pointing out myself that if you held up a picture of Ultimate Thor, and Triple H with his goatee (heck, even regular Thor and a shaven Triple H), they look identical. Its like they drew him to look like Triple H (before people go off on me about that, it is obviously not the case since Thor has been in the books since before HHH was alive).
I personally think its a good fit looks wise, and give him a chance, thats all.
Now, onto Cap, I think Mark Wahlberg could be good, but I dont know. Matt Damon could work, he can even fight pretty well and has the Blonde pretty boy look down that Cap has. I think that Seth Green could play Bucky too haha. Maybe not, but he would be a funny choice.

I cant seem to find a decent pic of HHH shaved, so I guess I cant get you the regular comparisons, but I did find this pic which is kinda cool
http://www.flickr.com/photos/92824288@N00/35702...
So, he has the look down.
On the Blade role, that was a bad idea all around. They had him play a dumb idiot, so he was a dumb idiot. Having once been a wrestling fan, he was always one of the most believable of the wrestlers both in and out of the ring, he also once played a very regal Hunter Hearst Helmsley, which was a very good act. So, you never know, dont judge a book by its cover and all that jazz.
See, this is how these boards should go, honest discussion with a solid agreement at the end hahaha.
Jay Cutler or Fabio as Thor.
I've always hated the choice of Toby Maguire for Spiderman. I thought Jake Gyllenhaal would make a better Peter Parker. Perhaps he wouldn't have done Brokeback Mt. then. lol
I think most of us think of the "hero" role first, and not the "altar ego" role. As Dr. Donald Blake, HHH will not work, and no way will it happen. Thank Odin. Other names mentioned, Pitt, Hartnett, Damon and Leonardo would work for this. How They pull off Thor, wow... I don't know. I don't like the Idea of McConaughey for either roll... his voice just won't cut it.
Other suggestions for either role: Wentworth Miller (from Prison Break), Patrick Dempsey, Jude Law, Clive Owen.
My choice for Thor/Dr. Blake: Paul Walker. He's perfect for Dr. Blake. Being extra buff will be the work of the studio to pull it off.
For Cap/Steve Roger's, I believe you need a more mature A-list actor, and my pick would be Brad Pitt.
Something that comes to mind about both Thor and the Hulk in relation to the Avengers. They being such powerful characters do they really need that much screen time? Once you get to the part of the story where they are needed how long is the battle going to last? Maybe 2/10 of the show 18 to 22 minutes max. That divided up makes me think it wouldn't matter whether their live or not. I think computer power is still doubling every 18 months. Pretty soon you won't be able to tell the difference. Besides you should see real differences between these two characters alter egos and their normal selves. So really it's the acting ability that counts!
I have thought they may use computer animation for Thor... in fact, I think they need to.
I'm also an "old man". I still have my Marvel comic books from the 70's... hundreds of them. The Avengers were always my favorite.
MikeX: My thought for Paul Walker is to play Dr. Donald Blake. Just as Ed Norton did for Hulk, and RDJ for Ironman, you must first build the Character from the alter ego perspective, not the hero's perspective. Paul Walker is at the Perfect age (34). He's tall, He's an A-list actor, plus he's got the blonde thing going, but hair color is irrelevant.
All the wrestling geeks think HHH is going to be a shoe in because he looks like Thor, and the point I'm trying to make is... Marvel won't cast that way. If they did, they'd just be remaking the Hulk TV series with Lou Ferrigno.
Still, Captain America baffles me. This actor is going to have to assume a leadership role for the Avengers. A nobody actor trying to lead RDJ, Ed Norton and others is not going to work. You need a big time A lister. I thought of Brenden Frasier, and I like him, but he's got the who Mummy adventure thing going. I don't know if I can look past that character. My favorite would be Clive Owen, but he already did the Sin City thing.
Has anyone heard if Ben Affleck would make an appearance as DD? That would be really cool... even a small cameo to assist in one small fight scene.
I don't agree with making Thor CGA for the fact that he still looks like a person as Thor. All those guys mentioned above (Hellboy, Thing, Jekyll) were all creatures basically. Juggernaut just had some dumb looking armor on so I wouldnt say that is CGA. I think going CGA with him would be a mistake. He isnt all that much taller than the rest of the guys in the Avengers (at least not when good artists were drawing him) so there really seems to be no point.
I still ike HHH, and I am not a wrestling geek, I just think that everyone is so fast to say "no, he is a wrestler, he is too stupid to do it" and wont even consider the possibility. You have 2 guys in there, one for blake, one for Thor. Unfortunatley thats how the character is, 2 distinctly different people.
On the other hand, what if they go with the Ultimate version of Thor. I didnt read a lot with him in it, but isn't he always just Thor? That would save a lot of CGI costs and money for 2 actors. Just a thought since they went with Ultimate Fury.
"A nobody actor trying to lead RDJ, Ed Norton and others is not going to work. You need a big time A lister."
I totally disagree. It doesn't matter if the actor is an A-lister, it's their screen presence, which can be found in an unknown. I will agree that whoever plays Cap needs as big a presence as RDJ, Norton and the like, will agree. IMO, neither Pitt nor Leo fit the bill.
Let's just call his agent and get this over with!

'oh and steven colbert For CAP.AMERICA'.
LOL
I just read today that a fundamental theoretical circuit element a "memistor" has been proved manufacturable. This would be an individual memory component. Currently individual components transistors, resistors, and capacitors are built up into memory circuits or you use a magnetic media. Now that an individual component can replace a group of components That count can be reduced further increasing computing power even greater than it was before! It also lacks the disadvantage of the older memories in that it can retain values without power or magnetic media's size, speed, cost and other physical disadvantages.
In a very short time you may not know who's doing what on screen. You'll know when something is CG but how granular it will be will only get harder to tell.
Have you seen HellBoy 2 yet ? Amazing vfx.
Btw, Speed Racer was based on a Manga cartoon, not reality.
Anyone that didn't get that can eat a bowl of Cool Beans !! ;-)
But the live action film was NEON-dierea.now I'm not hateing on the wakoski bros but really?!?!
And that dude from Eurika should portray CAP. Cus the resemblance is uncanny.
http://imsc.usc.edu/press/pdfs/04_09_15_mit.pdf
It's only gonna get better. Just surfing around its amazing the software that's come out just this spring that the movie industry will soon use to save time and money. That means more for everything else. Hopefully more to garner the best script writers!
If you want an A-lister then Matt Damon fits the bill perfectly to be Captain America. My other personal favourite would be relatively unknown David Boreanaz who has the 50's swagger about him which I think is an essential quality. I can actually see Pitt as Thor as long as he keeps his mouth shut and doesn't try to act. His Achilles in that pointless mess Troy did look similar to Thor.
I'll be satisfied if they can cast actors who would hold their own effortlessly alongside Norton and Downey Jr. no matter who they are.
Whoever mentioned John Cena should have a black bag put over his head and be swept into the night, never to be heard from again, V for Vendetta style.
Chris, Thomas Jane has no prayer to pay Cap. He already did the Punisher. Did it well too. But It's going to be an A-Lister. Could be Leo, but I still like Mark Wahlberg
Unfortunitly Eckharts WAY to old to do the character justice, and Craig, nah.
Steve Rogers, is a young skinny PFC that signs on to highly advanced Super Soilder program,,, this film allmost needs two actors for this role,
One the pre Captain, and one the Full Buffed out Cap America. :-)
I would reccomend a new comer.
Vic
790: No way they cast a newcomer as CAP. He's the leader of the Avengers, and he needs to LEAD in acting as well. Otherwise, he takes a back seat to RDJ and Ed Norton. Marvel has set the bar high with great leading men... they will continue with CAP and Thor.
Leo DiCaprio is 6 feet tall. He's taller than his ex-girlfriend Gisele Bundchen who is probably taller than Brad Pitt at 5 feet 11.
But yeah, he's not right for the part. I'm thinking Henry Cavill.
You guys do realize that he's a B-list star. Either get an A-lister on the level of Brad Pitt or cast an up-and-comer or unknown.
The man hasn't been able to do comprehensible English dialogue, ever!
Casting him as Thor would be like replacing Samuel L. Jackson in the upcoming Last Dragon remake with an actor whose acting skills are on a par with Fabio's...
Jaleel "Steve Urkel" White as Sho'Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem!
Of course, done in the traditional Urkel-squeaky voice:
Sho'nuff: Am I the meanest?
Sho'nuff 's Goons: Sho'nuff!
Sho'nuff: Am I the prettiest?
Sho'nuff 's Goons: Sho'nuff!
Sho'nuff: Am I the baddest mofo low down around this town?
Sho'nuff 's Goons: Sho'nuff!
Sho'nuff: Well who am I?
Sho'nuff 's Goons: Sho'nuff!
Sho'nuff: Who am I?
Sho'nuff 's Goons: Sho'nuff!
Sho'nuff: I can't hear you...
Sho'nuff 's Goons: Sho'nuff!
Just two words you need to know... Dub Him!
Of course, they may also think that the movie will be soo amazing that $300 million will be gotten back in a 2 or 3 week timeframe.
Let's just pray the 2nd scenario happens.
BTW, where is that guy with the time machine??!! I need to get to 2010 and 2011 now!!! 8-)
That being said, I am sure there are actors out there that I have never even heard of that could play Cap or Thor or Ant-Man etc, and if that is the case, more power to them and bring them on. I will go see it anyway, but I really believe to pull off a mass movie marketing idea like they are trying to do, they MUST get the big named actors into the big roles for the non comic fan to be interested.
Buzz, I still say Maaaaatt Damon!!! I am really not the biggest fan of the guy, but he sure can make an action flick and he has the total Steve Rogers look, just my opinion though :-)
"Just two words you need to know… Dub Him!"
If you insist...(adjusts cardboard crown from Burger King, pulls out cheapie plastic sword)
Kneel, Fabio (Fabio kneels)...arise, Sir Fabio, Lord of Limburger-cheese acting!

(runs from the room as the old man pelts him with rotten tomatoes for the pun)
I thought my last position was do "THOR" with computers. How old is Fabio now 50??
What's the problem Dan, just using any excuse to attack Fabio? Gee don't let me stand in your way. Have at him, just remember Clooney.
Daniel Craig = no Capt America, barely James Bond
Remember, Steve Rogers was barely out of his teens when he became Cap, they should be looking for someone younger and maybe kinda thin to do the "frail Steve Rogers" scenes, and then build his ass up so he looks like a "physically perfect man" and then do the Cap scenes. This is why I say they go the unknown route for Cap. He's not like the other Avengers, you can't cast him like you would Iron Man or Hulk, IMO. Casting Cap is kinda like casting Superman.
That being said, I do agree with the fact that this is Cap. He is one of the 4 figureheads of Marvel Comics (Spidey, Wolverine and Hilk being the others) and he needs to be big time. Spidey they got away with because at that time it was basically just X-Men out and that was a mix of not so famous people and pretty famous people. With the current track record of people like Norton, RDJ, Affleck etc.... they need a big name.
Still not a fan of Wahlberg, he is always a jerk in his roles (I love the guy though) and I cant see him with B,londe hair, it would just look odd. I think Damon is the person to pick, he just looks right, and he is a great actor.
I understand what you're saying, and they'll probably do that, but Cap isn't like those other characters. They need someone who's like a "Hugh Jackman" for Cap, meaning an unknown, good actor who can work the part. Cap is the character, I don't need to see Brad Pitt dressed up like Cap, I want to see actual Cap. I can't imagine any big name actor as Wolverine. Too many times the big name actors have the characters cater to them instead of catering to the characters. Cap is similar to Superman, and while not as well known as Superman, Cap's still a big, iconic hero that everyone and their grandma has at least heard of or can identify on a pice of paper, and should be treated as such, not that casting a big name would be that detremental to him. An Avengers film with big stars as everyone but Cap has enough stars to carry the film, they should cast big names as lesser well known characters like the Wasp or Ant Man, who can't really suport themselves, Cap on the other hand can carry himself with or without a big name. I'm not completely against a big name, it's just I don't see Leo Dicaprio or Matt Damon (sure, there's always CG) undergoing rigorous training to lose weight to the an almost unhealthy point and then putting on pounds and pounds of muscle mass to play Cap, I don't see any big name actor making the transition from frail Steve Rogers into Captain America, and that's a HUGE part of Cap. If they can't pull that off they they don't fit Cap, IMO. That's why casting Cap is different from say, Iron Man or Spider-Man or Storm or the Hulk. And there have been few other Marvel characters who've been played by lesser well known actors.
Mark Wahlberg would be great as Green Lantern Guy Gardner,I don't see him as Cap tho. And not that he wouldn't work as Cap (he's better than some of the other actors I've heard mentioned), Paul Walker said he was interested in playing The Flash (I'd be OK with him as Barry Allen or Steve rogers).
One thing I have to mention. I'm old school Marvel. I was into Marvel comics beginning in 72. When they finally announced the first Spiderman movie in 1999, I could not have been more excited. Like Cap now, the speculation for casting of Spiderman was everywhere. My jaw dropped when Toby M. was announced. To this day... I think this was the worst casting Marvel has done. Peter Parker was not a wuss like Mcguire comes off in the movies. His voice is so frickin' irritating, he's beyond puny. Parker was a not huge, but he was no little wimp either. In 1999 I saw "October Sky". I said then and there... Jake Gyllenhall would be the PERFECT Peter Parker. Since then JG has done Day after Tomorrow and Jarhead and he was great. OK... Brokeback Mountain is another story, but I contend he would not have done that if he was Spidey. On the flip-side... Marvel could not have found a better actor to play Ironman than RDJ.
The point I've been trying to make is the Marvel Movies have evolved and the actors are seeing that these are all blockbusters, thus the A-listers now WANT these roles. Why settle for an unknown or God-forbid... a wrestler?
You do bring up an interesting dilemma Marvel has to be discussing. How old do you make Steve Rogers? I've said in past posts here that Marvel will cast as Steve Rogers (Cap) and as Donald Blake (Thor), and not as their Hero altar-egos. The hero scenes will be Computer Graphics. It won't be as easy as Ironman or Hulk, because Steve Rogers does get bulked up, and he needs to be human. And Thor must be human looking and Huge. Not as easy as Iron armour or being green. It will be interesting to see how Marvel handles this.
LOL. Thanks. That's exactly my point, what are they gonna do about Steve Rogers? If they can get it to work with a big name and it's believable, then I'm good with it. Whoever they cast had better be able to fit Cap, unknown or not. I just see that happening more with an unknown than a big name. You are right tho, there are no doubt some pros to casting a big name, but the only thing that matters to me is that they get guys who work for the parts, unknowns or not. Whoever plays Cap has got to have range cuz, in many instances, they aren't going to be playing the same guy in terms of character (reject/rookie to seasoned warrior mascot) and especially in terms of the physical by the time the film opens to when the end credits are rolling.
Regardless, when the actor is announced, I'm sure I'll be excited. I trust Marvel will not let us down. Just no wrestler please... that is the only thing I will have an issue with... and a BIG issue.
Paul Walker could be OK. I am racking my brain to think of a cheaper option than those said above. I will keep thinking and try to drop another name or two and get off my Damon push :-)
OK, here is an off the wall thought. How about Viggo Mortensen for Cap? He is an action guy, we already know that. It is far enough out from LoTR that we can seperate him from Aragorn. He can pull off the Blonde Hair like in A History of Violence and I think he could pull off the young skinny Steve Rogers we would all like to see. Just an outside shot there.
I agree with you on the "Trust Marvel" thought. Although, and I am sure you wont like this one ;-), but wrestlers arent the same big dopes they used to be. Some, not a lot, but some can actually act. The Rock made the transition to rave reviews. I am holding out a little hope that Triple H has decent acting abilities and maybe he can pull off Thor. He wasn't that good in Blade Trinity, but I think that was how his part was written myself. He looked to struggle a bit with being a complete tool, especially since although he is a major heel in wrestling, he is also one of the smarter gys in the ring. I would not be upset to see him get a shot, but if Marvel senses he sucks then can him fast.
Moral of the story.....never count anyone out until they prove to be a moron.
2nd point. You again contradict yourself. CGI was the driving force in Daredevil 5 years ago, and he wasn't in Armor. Do you really think Ben Affleck was 50 ft. in the air doing Triple Lindies in a church? Whether you like it or not, Thor will be CGI, because Thor is nearly as big as Hulk. Getting a wanna-bee wrestle to play Thor will only look cheesy and give it that 1980 look and feel. CGI is the main reason Marvel movies have boomed in the last 8 years. To say there is no way to properly produce Thor is just ignorant. You have no idea of the power of CGI and it is not only going to be used... it is the ONLY way these movies can be made. What do you suggest... Triple-H on a wire pretending to fly? WOW! How thrilling!!!! (sarcasm)
Opening your mind and accept that CGI is the only reason we have Ironman, Hulk, Daredevil, X-Men, Fantastic 4... and now Cap Am, Thor and the rest.
Wake up and smell the technology dude!
Also, CGI is very important to all these movies. I dont think Caps Shield will really be able to riccochet off 3 guys and then go back to him without it. Thor will not be able to call down real lightning.....at least I am pretty sure on that (although, that would be awesome!! haha) without CGI. Its the way of movies these days.
Agreed. I hope I'll be excited, and in the good way. Jane would have been alright as Cap I suppose. :)
Buzz... out
"If you want Captain America to stick his tongue out in every 5 seconds, then yes, Brad Pitt is your guy."
Rumors of a recessive lizard gene in Brad's DNA are yet to be proven; but he DOES kinda remind me of the GEICO Gecko...
Steve Rogers is supposed to be this patriotic-but-pathetically-underdeveloped kid, right?
So, take an actor with a reasonably good build, and CGI about 10 years' worth of Bowflex off his body!
A reasonably well-built actor turned into a 98-lb. weakling by CGI...I think it's a problem solver.
Maybe give Leo DeCrappio the height he needs in the long shots?
Of course, get him some disco-era male platform shoes for the shots that end at the waist...
I've been collecting since I was nearly 7 yrs old. A 43 yr young fanboy at heart. So I also, feel strongly about such mundane Marvel mania! So strongly that I have studied sequential art, wanting someday to work for them. So, Buzz, what state is your business in? If you want to answer.
I dont remenber his name but he is the man that must play thor he even looked like thor in the movie the 13th warrior and he can act!!!!!
its real like "Heros"
Hulk Hogan was never on any episode of JLU. You're obviously thinking of someone else.
Where is everyone else from?

@dwayne
The guy who played Aquaman on Smallville would be a terrible Cap. :(
Absolutely. That's why I get so pissed off at people when they say they want Aaron "Two Face" Eckhart to play Cap. I don't care if he played a villain or not, he's already been pegged as that character (and in the DCU), he can't play another major comics character now. He doesn't fit the part anyway. That's as stupid as when the suits at WB asked James Franco if he was interested in Green Lantern. Why are all the head honchos always crazy?????
This small agency you mention...an advertising agency?
If so, any agency contacts in Chicago?
See, I got my Associates' Degree in June 2007 at the ripe old age of 45; a two-year degree that took 4 years, 3 kidneystone surgeries, and a bout of the shingles to get (I don't give up easily!)...besides, I had 20-somethings telling me that I was too old to succeed.
Anyone that's ever tried to limit me always saw me rise up and shove their limits up their...posterior.

Anyway this is a Marvel forum, so shouldn't we talk about something Marvel?
Just say "No" to wrestlers as Marvel heros! LOL
Buzz — out
Also... Brad Pitt... too established? How does that disqualify him? Of the three you mentioned. Pitt would make a good Rogers. Rogers will have to lead the avengers. Who better than Pitt for this? Or do you prefer the great acting of Triple H over Pitt or other real actors? (sarcasm). Marvel WILL go with established actors for these movies... just like they've been doing the last 8 years.
Eric Dane. I know he's done mostly television acting. But he does have some good movies to his credit, and he's done some action with Marvel before being cast in X-men 3. (even if the movie kinda sucked) But he's talented he's got the kinda boyish good looks that Cap should have. He big enough, and he's still pretty young.
Bradley Cooper, a great young actor whos stalk just keeps rising. With good movies under his belt so far mostly as a supporting actor, but also some action stuff with the Tv show alias. Hes got the wit, the good looks, and he's a very capable actor!
Just droppin my 2 scence, and Im seriously curious to hear what you guys think! I just have trouble picturing guys like Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Wahlberg, etc etc etc (names that everyone is throwing around) as a super hero!?
