Hmmmm.... not too sure what to think of this development, I am sure with the right script and team he should do well. I remember LMAO when Heath was cast as The Joker!

The First Avenger: Captain America released 22nd July, 2010

Knew he was in talks, I will be a bit skepitcal until I see footage. I think he could pull it off though. I look forward to Weaving as Red Skull though. Marvels movies of late have turned out to be wicked, lets hope it continues.

Hugo Weaving will be amazing as The Red Skull!! Great casting on that one.

I shudder at the thought of a Capt America movie (even as a little boy, I thought this was a character so lame, it should be discontinued; now that I'm (much) older, I think even less of the character).

You mean the thought of a 'new' movie, there was a straight to video and limited theater release one done in 1992, though I have not seen it.

When was the last time you read a Captain America comic?
I was very sceptical of the character at a younger age, 'blah blah captain america stupid patriotic crap!!' until I decided to read Avengers: Disasembled, he then began growing on me, then came Civil War, my love for Steve Rogers really came out during that, who the character truly is, what he stands for etc.

You really DONT need to see that movie

I never had much time for Captain America but Ed Brubaker's run on the comic has been excellent.

The only downside to this casting I can see is that it makes a cameo from the Fantastic Four movie cast in the Avengers movie a bit less likely. (Although I think I heard a rumour about a F4 movie reboot too).

Also thumbs up to shirtless pictures of Chris Evans

Yeah was going for a 'has the body of Cap' look, glad you like it!
and on the fantastic 4 cameo, it cant happen as Fox own the rights to create and distribute F4 movies, sucks i know

I heard about the reboot as well, they wanted to go a more darker style that made Sin City, Batman, and Watchmen brilliant.
