They're not casting a foreigner.

Oh, and Marvel, Lee Pace and Ben Foster remain available. I'm not taking crazy pills here, am I?

"the fact that he's now back in the running, as well as the pursuit of actual movie actors like Evans rather than TV stars, suggests that the studio have upped their offer, in an attempt to land the right man in the part "

Yeah, because Chris Evans is such a proven thespian, having mastered the craft in such classics like "Cellular," "Push," "Not Another Teen Movie" and who can forget his tour de force in "The Nanny Diaries"?

I do have to admit that Evans was very convincing playing a lit match in "Fantastic Four".

For some reason Alexander Skarsgaard just popped into my head. I know he's not American, but he's got the right look, age, gravitas, and he played and American pretty damn well in "Generation Kill."

Hollywood, I agree, Mr. Brooks has one of the hottest bodies in the business. His shirtless scenes in "True Blood" were mindblowing !

Chris Evans, another hot bodied actor, was good in "Cellular" & he was the most likable & interesting character in the "Fantastic Four" movies. He is already generating great buzz with " Scott Pilgrim vs. The World " He has more of an edge over his competition because of his past work with Marvel. Yes, he was very good in "Sunshine". Evans, is one of those actors that will shine if he works with great material & an incredible director . Also, Chris gives good interviews.

I'm curious about Mike Vogel because he is another hottie. Vogel was good in "Cloverfield" and he showed an edge as Anne Hathaway's boyfried in the lousy "Havoc".

Chris Evans was great in Sunshine, but 'The Losers' will be fresh on everyone's mind in a couple months. If he gets 'Captain America' it'll be a lot of work to try to have 'Sunshine' at the top of the conversation instead of 'The Losers'.
