MTV reports:

According to Deadline Hollywood, the five front-runners for the role of Captain America are Chace Crawford (“Gossip Girl”), John Krasinski (“The Office”), Scott Porter (“Friday Night Lights”), Mike Vogel (“Cloverfield”) and Michael Cassidy (“Smallville”).

All five actors have reportedly agreed to test deals with Johnston and Marvel Studios. Garrett Hedlund (“Tron Legacy”) was allegedly sought for the part, but the actor has not reached a deal to test for the role. Additionally, Deadline reports that whoever lands Captain America must sign for nine other options, including potential sequels to “The First Avenger.”

Are any of these guys credible as Captain America?  Hardly.

So, is it me, or are they just trying to make sure that the movie appeals to teen-age girls?  I like John Krasinski in The Office, but c’mon!  As Steve Rogers?  Of them all, Scott Porter has the right look, but every one of them is far too young for the part.  Is this the best they could do?  

Marvel must be trying to ensure that I won’t see this movie.  If they cast Chace Crawford I think I’ll have to stab my eyes out.
