Marvel announces Iron Man 2/Capt America/The Avengers

this is awesome news!!!! So who would be everyones best pick to play Capt. America?!?!?!?

I'm personally very excited about this news. Here's my short list of candidates to be Steve Rogers:

- Neal McDonough: Already has experience in a 'soldier' role from Band of Brothers. Doesn't have to dye his hair or change his eye color. My personal favorite, right now.
- Matthew McConaughey: Was ripped out of his mind in Reign of Fire. Could bring a lot of intensity to the role.
- Nathan Fillion: He's technically Canadian, but I think he could pull the role off, given the chance.

:sidelol:

I can't believe you just referenced Angels in the Outfield. I don't remember the film, but IMDB has him listed, so you must be right ...

I do remember him in Band of Brothers, that was why I suggested him.

tony danza, christopher lloyd, and danny glover as well.....good flick i was 7 when it came out, loved that movie

Sounds good.

They should do Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, and also AquaMan.

Ironman 2, Capt America and Avengers all sound good. Antman and Thor seem like a waste of time.

Ant-Man and Thor are going to suck. Avengers has a high probability of sucking. Captain America can be good as long as they stay away from making political points--but it's Hollywood, so I don't doubt the story will be something like "Cap fights in modern war, generals are evil, Cap proves patriotic by ending evil military-industrial complex war."

Iron Man 2 is going to be awesome, though.

Aquaman is not a Marvel character, he is a DC character.

In all fairness... Comic Books tend to fall on the other spectrum of politics. Captain America will be invariably political, because he is a character that is meant to represent American values therefore be utterly political in his inception. But for the most part he represents a sort of American moral certainty and view that trumps the worlds view. In other words, it is sure to fall more on the side of right wing politics than on liberal politics.

Comic books tend to. (with the exception of Green Arrow, and that dude they pretty much throw it in there just to make fun of it... so...)

I wonder what they are going to do with Cap. Are they going to do a full movie that is his rise to greatness and his sacrificing death or is that just going to be a blurb and the rest of the movie is going to be about how a man from the WWII era fits into modern Day America.

Avengers movie is going to rock. Heck if they can keep up with Iron Man, I am sure Ant-Man will at least be enjoyable and Thor will be fun.

Remember these movies are actually produced by Marvel. They have much more say in the direction of the movie than before

I totally disagree. Comic books are much more liberal, at least the Marvel universe has been.

I don't think you're too familiar with the character or how he's presented. He is an apolitical figure, and Marvel takes some great strides to present him that way.

The only way they could justify politics in a Captain America movie would be if a) Ed Brubaker wrote the script, or b) they're using Ultimate Captain America.

they need to now make a iron man rollar coaster at universals islands of adventure!!!!!!!!!!

The Riddler at Magic Mountain is the best. I would like to see what kind of ride they would make for Iron Man though.

Well, we know they're using Ultimate Nick Fury. soooo ....

I would never have thought Nathan Fillon for Captain America, but that would be AWESOME!

So ol' Sammy Jackson was indeed at the end of the Iron Man flick? (No, I haven't seen it yet. I haven't even seen Harold & Kumar 2 yet.)
