Captain America might have the most casting rumors of any movie coming out in the foreseeable future. Apparently it is rather difficult to cast somebody to play an iconic American legend with a very vocal fan following. Names rumored to have been considered for the role of Captain America include John Krasinski AKA Jim Halpert from The Office, Ryan Phillipe, and Channing Tatum.
John Krasinski is now officially out, but much to the protest of fanboys everywhere, Channing Tatum is still being considered for the role. Channing Tatum is a terrible actor. It had to be said. It is hard to see anybody on Marvel’s casting list playing such an iconic character as Captain America, which is perhaps why it has taken so long for information on the casting to become available. The fact that they are taking their time with this decision is a good sign, as they are waiting to find the right man for the part.
Hugo Weaving has signed on to play the part of the Red Skull, Captain America’s archenemy. Hugo has proven himself to be a very good actor, so it is hard not to be pleased about this casting decision. It is another step in the right direction of filling out Captain America’s cast. Let’s be honest for a second though. We know that it is not going to be Ryan Phillipe, or Channing Tatum, or even my favorite prospect, Chris Evans. Marvel is obviously just waiting for Ryan Reynolds to finish up with the Green Lantern and Deadpool movies so he can take the mantle of Captain America. You heard it here first folks, Ryan Reynolds is Captain America. And every other superhero.
