Eric Dane. He is the only guy who can carry the role.

I am sooo against Matt Damon getting the role, since I have heard rumors he could be in that Green Arrow Prison movie.

At the risk of being flamed off this site, I will say that I thought McConaughey would have been fine for the role. I think people get his personal life/airhead roles confused with his actual acting ability. I mean, if you look back at “A Time To Kill” or “U-571″, he certainly didn’t embarass himself. And he’s obviously fit enough for the physical demands of the role. He’s definitely a hell of a lot better choice than John Cena, whose name I keep seeing on message boards everywhere. Out of this list, though, I’m voting for Thomas Jane, even though he already did the Punisher thing. And, for the record, I don’t even know the the hell Nathan Fillion is.

I vote Daniel Craig. I have since I left the theater after Casino Royale. I don’t care where he’s from he can cover his accent, he has the acting chops, looks and the physical presence. Plus he could help out selling tickets to Europe. If that’s a real concern.

Matt Damon?
Anyone else watch Team America?
I haven’t been able to look at Matt Damon without yelling his name and cracking up ever since that movie…

I’d like to see Paul Walker in the role, though McConaughey would be acceptable.

McConaughey would have loved to land the role of Bruce Banner, all of that shirt tearing…
There is something decidedly wrong with that man though.

They could appeal to the female demographic with a shirtless-Cap if they went with McConaughey

Where’s Matthew McConaughey?

I vote none of the above. Matt Keeslar from “The Middleman” is my choice.

I am really surprised that Thomas Jane isn’t higher on the list. Cap is just so iconic, that I’d prefer to not to have such a famous actor play him. I don’t want to look at Cap and think, “hey, there’s Matt Damon.” And frankly, I think Jane looks the part more than anyone on the list too. Nathan Fillion just lacks a certain Cap quality that I just can’t put my finger on right now.

It’s matt all the way for me. I’ve always considered Steve Rogers/Captain america to be two seperate kinds of people and an actor needs to be able to play both. Steve Rogers is supposed to be this slightly naive and kind of weak patriotic young guy who gets infused with the power of the super soildier serum in order to do uncle sams bidding. In the earlier avengers stories (not to mention the ultimates) Steve has some trouble readjusting to the “new world” that he wakes up to after being frozen, I think matt could play the “naive/idealistic guy in a complicated world” quite well…and brad pitt is too macho for the role, would work great as thor though…

I voted Nathan Fillion. Not because I’m a fan or anything but what I did know of him was that he is Canadian. A Canadian as Captain America. I find that hilarious.
