First Avenger Louis Leterrier's pick for Captain America

[Juggernaut33]

Apparently Marvel Studio had such a hard-time casting Captain America that they asked all the directors that had worked with them in past to give their casting ideas for the title role. Leterrier strongly believes that Chris Evans is great actor and apparently the studio (WB) had already mentioned him for Clash of the Titans. Everybody in town is crazy about this guy. All the people involved in the motion picture Push (the editor, the composer) were raving about him. But if Leterrier had to cast Captain America...his pick would be...

Michael Fassbender

But Marvel made a point of casting an American in the role to avoid backlash from the fans community.

Love that guy. He was badass as Hicox in Inglourious Basterds.

Ha! The one thing Louis Leterrier would've done right in life..

 

[Doctor Jones]

I expected him to say Sam Worthington.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Good thing they didn't listen to him. He may be a fine actor for all I know but I perfer an good actor who is also American. And thats what I got.

Yeah, agreed.

Fassbender's my ideal Green Arrow, so I agree with those who prefer Chris for this one.

 

[Webhead2006]

I agree fass is a great actor, but totally not the right fit for cap. Like others i see him better fit for green arrow or king version of aquaman.

 

[ImWithTeamConan]

Interesting but no thanks.

 

[UnkillableMick]

QFT.

"Well old boy, if it's that time, I hope you won't mind if I go out speaking the King's."

Frickin' awesome.

 

[DocHoliday]

Yeah, Fassbender rocks. He's young enough he could have Bind when Craig leaves. He's a busy guy but maybe they'll offer him Union Jack.

 

[The Englishman]

Erm.. I'd prefer Union Jack to be English....

 

[LadyVader]

^I loled.

 

[Hotwire]

Does anyone else see the weirdness of having a German, play Captain America, who fights the Germans???

 

[DocHoliday]

He's half German half Irish if I recall. I never have been a stickler for an American for Cap or an Englishman for Union Jack anyway.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

Fassbender will be the star of my movie franchise. I don't want him in another one.

 

[KangConquers]

Why is this guy still flapping his gums? His Hulk failed (before you say "it made money!" remember, you have to make double your budget before you actually make a profit) and they're not making another one.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Give him a break... I still like hearing his opinions and ideas. But yeah, he's a pretty ****ty film maker.

Don't get me wrong, I liked TIH. It was a good movie. But given his movie was commercially mediocre, he really doesn't have much association with Marvel anymore...he comes across as a clinger on. There's a 90% chance they're not doing a TIH 2, as much as fans (and hell, even as much as I) want one.

So why is it that Louis Letterier has made more comments than Joe Johnston has on Cap? Does he have nothing else to do other than what ifs?

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i liked TIH alot more then the ang lee hulk film. i wished it did better in the box office. but it was a modest sucess. And as for more hulk it all probably matters what hulk is going to be in the avenger's film and all that.
