I find it interesting that the same actor will portray different Marvel superheroes... that is all

Great...now lets cast the rest of the Fantastic Four folks in the movie. Ioan Gruffudd could be Human Torch, Jessica Alba could be Peggy Carter....

I would've preferred Channing Tatum, actually. No joke. Heard he was in talks at one point..

I think it's dumb to cast an actor who's already a Marvel icon...
It's pretty much like casting Christopher Reeve in Tim Burton's Batman.
There are other actors around, y'guys...

But why limit yourself like that. If a person fits a role, why not cast him?

Also, it's not like casting Reeve as Batman. While I enjoyed the fantastic four movies, they weren't exactly gigantic hits that established the actors as those characters.

eeh could have been worse, and F4 is getting a reboot so I see no reason why he can't play a new Marvel character. thought besides Stan Lee as himself, he was the only character I liked in the F4 movies

People are up in arms about someone playing two Marvel comic book characters....but did we forget Ryan Reynolds has already done this?

Don't forget Michael Chiklis, who was AWESOME as Ben Grim. Actually, the Torch and Thing were the only decent things in those movies, so I do hope they get more work.

What does Namor look like? Let's see...

A) Like a total dweeb. The guy has little wings on his ankles, fer chrissakes!

B) Lame, like a second-rate Aquaman (as if Aquaman wasn't lame enough on his own...)

C) Both A and B

But seriously, I actually wanna see this Cap movie now. It's neat the guy might actually be in like 9 Marvel movies as Cap by the time all's said and done, what with Avengers and whatnot. Good for him.

Aaand we have a Bucky!!

Joining Chris Evans is Sebastian Stan...he's signed up to play Bucky in at least 6 movies and can currently be seen in Hot Tub Time Machine. He plays Carter Baizen in Gossip Girl.

Cap gets to have Bucky in a movie and yet Batman simply can't have Robin. Weak.

I don't pay any attention to the Schumacher flicks because they were horribly done from the very conception. There's a way to make Robin work in a flick, and that wasn't it.

Ironically, I predict the Cap flick(s) will actually do the concept properly. Or at least better.

Well they almost got it right. The wings may be silly but they are sorta iconic.

Hahahaha! The suit looks good, but what cracks me up is how serious he looks when he's wearing it.

"I'm Captain America. I'm gonna **** you up with my over-sized suspenders!"
