The ongoing rumor mill regarding who would carry the mantle of Captain America on film came to a screeching halt this week as it became very apparent, very quickly that Marvel Films had their man.
The choice to wear the A on his forehead?
Chris Evans.
Yes. Chris “Human Torch” Evans.
Honestly, it’s neither the best, nor worst choice that they could’ve made, but it’s an odd one to say the least.
I really like Evans, I thought he did a great job as the Torch, I loved his lead role in Sunshine, and he did his best to keep Push watchable, but is he the guy worth building such a big franchise around?
I’m really not sure. But Marvel apparently is, as rumors state his deal will lock Evans up for not just a Captain America picture, but possible sequels, appearances in other Marvel films, and yes, the big Avengers movie.
Let’s hope he rocks as Cap.
