so was Kilmers and Clooney's.

I agree, Clooney's was way worse though.

agreed

I'm going to renominate Brad Pitt for Captain America. He has the look, image, and physical fitness to pull it off. Plus, he'd bring in a lot of money.

John Barrowman, the star of "Torchwood," was just asked moments ago at the San Diego Comic-Con panel if there was any possibility that he would be playing Captain America in the upcoming feature film.

He smiled and gave the stock answer that he'd love to play the character and that Captain America has always been his favorite comic book superhero. Clearly, though, the notion did not take him by surprise and he ended up admitting there had been discussions with his agents and meetings on that very issue.

What do you think? Though maybe not the star-power that the studio might be looking for, Barrowman certainly fits the bill. We'll bring you more news as it develops.

The First Avenger: Captain America is currently scheduled for a May 6, 2011 release.

That would work. Can he act? Does it matter?

[Korly]

Yeah, it matters.

You know, he wouldn't actually be all that bad. He does the 40's hero thing on Doctor Who, it works alright.

He also does the flagerantly bisexual 40's hero thing on Doctor Who, so hopefully he'd turn that bit off for the role.

Or should he?

[Port]

Wait what? He's Doctor Who?

[YellerDog]

No no, he was a character on Doctor Who, whom had a spin-off series called Torchwood (anagram of Doctor Who, even!).
