Is Chris Pine Captain America?
An alleged insider tells CinemaSpy he’s on the short list.
Yesterday afternoon, CinemaSpy received an email from a tipster claiming to be well-connected within the Paramount hierarchy, and alleging that they had info about the casting of the lead for The First Avenger: Captain America.
Here’s what we were told:
Anyway, just thought you guys might like to know that Paramount and Marvel are pretty close to closing a deal on casting Steve Rogers/Captain America and fans might be excited to learn that the short list includes somebody a lot of fans speculated about, Chris Pine. From what I’m hearing, he’s the frontrunner right now, though that could change. Can’t tell you who the other couple of choices are, cause that’ll work against me for reasons I don’t want to get into.
Anyway, hope this is helpful, feel free to do what you want with it.
Looking at IMDB Pro, there does seem to be a window in Pine’s film schedule right now. Unstoppable is in post production, and The Art of Making Money is still in development. Star Trek and the next Jack Ryan film are merely in the scripting phase and not due till 2012, so the timing seems as though it might support this information.
Chris Pine as Captain America? His age is right, and if he bulked up (we’re guessing he easily could), he might actually make a good choice to play Steve Rogers, aka Captain America.
What say you to this tidbit of info? Do you think we’re being punked? Is Pine a good choice for the role? Would you prefer someone else play Captain America? Sound off below…
