www.heatvisionblog.com/2010/03/evans-accepts-captain-america-mantle.htmlChris Evans will play Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America. Sources tell us the actor has not only accepted Marvel's offer, first detailed on Friday, but that the dealmaking moved so fast it's now all about dotting the i's and crossing the t's. Marvel would not comment on the development, and CAA, which reps the actor, declined comment. Evans was offered the role in Marvel Studios' production last week, but there was some question of whether he would accept. Factoring in to the choice was the fact that Evans played Johnny Storm, the flame-covered superhero known as the Human Torch in Fox's "Fantastic Four" movies. Was he ready to play another superhero and take on the trappings that come with such a high-profile part? Evans took a few days to think it over, and once he decided he was willing to wield the shield, negotiations moved quickly over the weekend. so yeah, there you go.

Why exactly were people throwing fits over possibility Channing Tatum would get the part? Is Evans THAT much better than him.
Oh yeah, and I guess this means the F4 movies are pretty much dead too.

The Human Torch was probably about the only thing I liked about Fantastic Four, so this is a pretty good thing. Aside from John Krasinski, I literally did not know who anyone else was in the running. But I think they should just ignore Fantastic Four. They got enough movies lined up, no need for a reboot for at least another 5 years or so.

Although I wasn't a big fan of the films, I have to say he was easily the best thing about them.

Which makes this news suck, Evans and Chiklis were the best parts of the Fantastic Four movies and should have still played Johnny and Ben in the reboot. |

They died in Rise of the Silver Surfer. Which is a shame, because the character should have gotten better treatment. |

Other than Fantastic 4, what all has he played in? Well, as far as good movies go, he was amazing in both London and especially Sunshine. Honestly, I'd be iffy on his being cast as Cap had I not seen the latter. |

I'll reserve my final judgements until we finally see a trailer or something with Evans donning the Cap uniform, but for now, I approve.

Will Zig & Zag be in it too then?
Will Captain America get the sack after he's caught drinking at the local pub?

Someone else said it, but he was in Sunshine.... an AMAZING film. So if you doubt his acting talent, then watch Sunshine.
As far as him playing Captain America, I think he'll do a good job. I don't think anyone should judge this just yet because it's not like we've actually seen anything from it. And come on, he'll be fighting against The Red Skull played by Hugo Weaving... how can you get better than that?

Chris Evans actally knows how to display the hu-man emotion. But then Tatum probaly has other things on his mind, its spring, he has new leaves sprouting. |
