The conclusion to our trilogy of columns looking at the Avengers Big Three, and the best actors to portray, them is here, and I’ve saved my favourite for last. Regular readers will be aware that I do love Captain America. Even wrote a whole piece about why a little while back. Cap’s put in more screen appearances than Iron Man or Thor, thanks in part to the fact that he precedes them in the comics by a good couple of decades. There were also two attempts at live action Cap movies before the recent effort with Chris Evans in the title role (winner of your vote for best Cap, by the way). In the seventies there were a couple of made for TV movies starring Reb Brown as a rather lacklustre, one-note Captain America. Then, the early nineties gave us Matt “son of J.D.” Salinger in the title role in a disastrous movie in which Salinger did his best impression of… Well, Reb Brown. And wore rubber ears as part of his costume. Who thought that was a good idea?

Neither of these efforts were ever going to make this list, and are now mostly regarded as, at best, curios. However, leaving them aside, I was more than ready to bombard you with a Super Soldier Serum charged column featuring one awesome live action Cap, and four awesome animated Caps too.

Then I discovered one more live action version...

Everybody and their dog is reporting that Chris Evans has accepted the role of Captain America even though there's been no official word from either Marvel or Evans himself. I already made my case for him to take the role here so colour me pleased. So Hugo Weaving is the Red Skull, Chris Evans is Cap, next up who's gonna be Bucky?! Is Bucky Barnes even in the film? My vote is for a young kid, like thirteen /fourteen young so an unknown will do and don't forget to give him a Big Fucking Machinegun. Nuff Said.

THR is reporting that Marvel have offered the role of Captain America to Chris Evans.

No not this guy:

But this guy:

No stranger to comic book movies, Evans played Johnny Storm in the two Fantastic Four flicks and can be seen as Jenson in the upcoming adaptation of Andy Diggle's The Losers. He's a fine actor with a star that's rising all the time but can Johnny Storm also be Captian America?
