That is what I thought, this was a real suprise… Maybe Evans wanted too much money?
Josh feels like a better fit for Cap than Evans. Though, I just can’t see Evans as Cap.
just confused–the article you mentioned doesn’t say anytin gabout him being Cap…just that he is belng looked at for a “unspecified role” in an “unspecified” movie, then it talks about what the cap costume would look like…seems like two different stories blended into one.
again, maybe Im reading it wrong and Evans is out…
and I had a rough day at work…so my brain hurts 
anywho—just saying, he’d make an awesome Hawkeye (but then so would the guy from Hurt Locker whos name I forget). And there are a lot of guys who Josh would be a great fit for…he is superhero caliber, no doubt
You read it the same way I did. It is 2 unrelated stories in one article.
Here is the movie concept…
not too shabby

well…it is Katee Sackoff …kicking sorrybarb…
That is much better art than what was in the previous article, thanks David!
I wonder what Josh will be then? Probably just a grunt in the unit attached to Cap… I love the idea of Tommy Lee Jones being the commanding general though, that is some nice casting.
def not Bucky LOL.
They did say unspecified…maybe it’s not Cap at all…maybe he is attached to Thor…lots of possibilities there.
Anyway, we’ll see.
hey Thor, old buddy!
They should shorten or lose the cape… He looks like a two-bit magician rather than a god.
I wonder if his hammer shoots a wet sticky substance??
“Gentle UTHORus attack!”:eek: (Fastcart can explain)
I remember seeing Thor in the TV movie “The Incredible Hulk Returns”, and despite the low budget, I actually like how they handled the characters of Thor and Donald Blake. It’ll be interesting to see if they approach a similar angle in the movie, or not.
I was thinking about that actually. d:
Lol! I thought the hammer was a bit off too. “That doesn’t look like thunder and lightning…” But, I was more distracted by the cape.
Personal response from Steve Martin:
Man, the past twenty-four hours have been all Marvel, all the time. From Captain America and Thor concept art to more Cap casting and now this confirmation of a rumor that started around Thanksgiving of last year: Jeremy Renner is close to signing a deal to appear in The Avengers as the hero Hawkeye.
This came up last November, when Renner mentioned that he’d talked to Marvel about the part. (”Hawkeye could be interesting. They’re going to send me some stuff on it, see what it is.”) But he quickly backed away from the idea, and later said the movie was too far off to really consider.
Now there’s a director (Joss Whedon) and things are moving into pre-production, so evidently that is enough. THR says this won’t be a cash cow, however — to keep costs down, everyone is taking a pay cut.
But there’s a shadow of bad news. Renner has recently seemed like a lock to play the second male lead in Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master, but in the wake of Universal passing on the film, it appears that financing isn’t coming together. THR says “while he still has definite interest in Anderson’s film, that project is still cobbling financing and has seen its start pushed back several times.”
The good news, however, is that Hawkeye is evidently a small enough part that Renner could conceivably to both The Avengers and The Master, should PTA’s film be able to start actual production.
From a previous report, here’s a little history on Clint Barton, the original Hawkeye, now called Ronin. Note that his inspiration to become a superhero was Iron Man and he was close with the Black Widow. Note also that became an Avenger by breaking into the group’s headquarters; that sort of character note is right in line with the self-confident lone wolf operator Renner played in The Hurt Locker.
Here’s some good Captain America: The First Avenger casting news: Neal McDonough (Minority Report, Flags of Our Fathers) is reportedly in talks to play the ‘Howling Commando’ Dum Dum Dugan in Joe Johnston’s film.
Deadline has the ‘in talks’ news, and if McDonough ends up in the film he’d likely fight alongside Samuel L. Jackson’s Colonel Nick Fury — at least if we’re going by the commonly-used history of the characters. This could also put McDonough in line to appear in later Marvel movies like The Avengers, depending upon the fate of the Howling Commandos in Captain America.
OK, sure, McDonough is blond and the consistent comic depiction of Dugan is as a round-faced redhead. But McDonough has the right energy for the part, he’s big enough, and everything else is cosmetic, and easily made to fit. (I’ve seen fancasting that hoped for Ted Levine as Dugan, and while I love that, because Levine is great, I think this will work out just fine.)
wow…that just sounds wrong…
Wonder which dwarves Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker will be
Jackie Chan has a decent shot at Dopey. d:
