I am in love with Paul Walker. This offers nothing in terms of his Captain capabilities, but hey. I am in love Captain America too.

..this idea seems like it’d get panned so hard, but I think Matt Damon has some CP (Captain Potential). He’s got that serious-head-movement-angry-mouth thing going on. Crucial for the mask.

Kessler would make a pretty good Cap. Skews a bit on the young side, but still has an authoritative quality that makes him perfect for Captain America. And yeah, him on The Middle Man (while played up for comedic purposes) is a perfect templete for Cap’s old-fashioned sensibilities.

Ah, see, I’ve only watched Cena in WWE…not his two movies. Hadn’t seen the Keesler guy before either, but he does have the classic super-heroic butt chin going for him. :)

I’ve watched enough John Cena films (1) to know he’s not right for this role. He just doesn’t have the qualities that Steve Rogers possesses. Channing tatum may be able to pull off the look.

My pick would be the title actor from 2008’s The Middleman, Matt Keeslar. He played the Middleman as a Captain America who is even more Apple Pie American. You can also see Matt Keeslar playing a more serious part than he did as the Middleman.

It’s hard casting these more muscular heroes whoa are also leads- like Cap and Thor. I wonder how they’re going to pull it off.
