DiCaprio And Pitt Up For Captain America

By Josh Tyler: 2008-06-13 17:05:40

Now that we’ve gotten Captain America’s non-cameo in The Incredible Hulk sorted out, we can all get back to figuring out who is actually going to play Cap, once he finally gets his solo movie. A few weeks ago we told you that Matthew McConaughey might be in consideration, now the guys at Latino Review have come up with a pair of fairly obvious names which they think Marvel may want.

They say Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt are at the top of Marvel’s Captain America wish list. I’m not sure how much of a revelation that actually is, since they’re probably at the top of every studio’s wishlist for every major, male role (and maybe even a few female ones). I also have hard time thinking of a situation in which either of them would be interested, again because everyone wants them, and because they’ve both done a good job of staying pretty far away from the whole superhero thing till now.

DiCaprio is built like a scarecrow. He’s a great actor, but Captain America? I don’t think so. Pitt could pull it off easily enough I suppose, it just seems so obvious. Plus, Pitt has already been rumored for other Marvel roles like Thor, and nothing ever came of those. He’s the default every anonymous scooper goes for when they send in one of these rumor stories. Besides, wasn’t the word on Marvel that they were trying to keep the cost of these movies reasonable? Getting either of these actors is going to mean one heck of a big paycheck. I just don’t see either of these guys ever showing up in any Marvel movie.

First off, Leo is not slight. I saw him in the departed and blood diamond, and if that is slight, you people have a very distorted body image. a 'scarecrow'? come on. Just admit it, you haven't seen anything with him since Titanic. See here:

That said, no he isn't a Captain America physique, because almost no one is. I do say that the 'Helo' suggestion is awesome! Good combination of acting chops, physique, economics, etc.

For me CA has to have a few things:

1. The jaw. He has to have a nice square jaw that shows his determination and unbreakable will.

2. The eyes. He has to have that battle stare, that look that can peer into his men and make them do that which they are afraid of.

3. The voice. It has to be a commanding voice.

4. The height. He should be imposing. 6'2 at least. 6'4 would be better.

5. The acting. You have to have someone who is believable in the role.

Mike Rowe for Captain America! If the guy can act he'd be perfect.

While DiCaprio's a fine actor, he's simply too small to play Cap. He's of slight build. There's not a trainer in the world who could change his height and build. Pitt is NOT a fine actor, and is both too mannered in his performances and far too old to play Cap at this point in his career.

Nathen Fillion From Firefly is the man needed for the part period.

Personally, I think that Tahmoh Penikett (Helo from Battlestar Galactica) would be a pretty good choice. He's got the physique, he can act, and he can pull off "Leader" pretty well.
