You should be able to penny-pinch with Ryan McPartlin.

I get why they're casting young, because they want an origin story, but 1) he should be 25 at least, considering the character's the face of America, and not a "boy" in any way, and 2) He needs to have a strength and maturity. Or at least a chin. Christ, Chace Crawford? And Krasinski's already had his shot - it was Leatherheads. He missed.

Also, I can't entirely blame Marvel, since if Johnston was my director, I'd be pinching pennies too.

Gabe's got the right thinking here. Shouldn't Capn' eventually be Robert Downey Jr.'s peer? Not his wet-behind-the-ears towel boy?

maybe marvel's penny pinching ways will just screw the Avengers that way (and this is probably why Krasinski's name is in here. he's wrong, but more suited to stand next to RDJ than these kids).

That's a decent collection of names for Bucky, perhaps. Otherwise, the actor needs to be someone Robert Downey Jr. kinda/sorta looks up to.

Hey, Lee Pace is available. That one's for free, Marvel.

Well all those choices suck, so it's not boding well for this show at the moment.
