Alright, at first I too, was against Chris Evans, not because he's a bad actor, on the contrary, he's not. Just the fact that he played the Torch, and if a crossover ever happened, well just poor judgement. But if there will be a remake of FF, then it's not a bad choice. Seriously, he's played various roles and he's been good in each. A drugged out guy in "London," a astronaut in ...

Alright, at first I too, was against Chris Evans, not because he's a bad actor, on the contrary, he's not. Just the fact that he played the Torch, and if a crossover ever happened, well just poor judgement. But if there will be a remake of FF, then it's not a bad choice. Seriously, he's played various roles and he's been good in each. A drugged out guy in "London," a astronaut in SunShine(awesome movie by the way), and yes, even as the Torch he owned the role. He does have some good acting chops. But Zach Effron? Get the (expletive) out of here. The last thing America needs is a gay Captain America. And John Cena? The guys terrible, only WWE fans would suggest this, its ALMOST as bad as Zach Efron. Dollars on cents that most everyone is going to watch this movie, then we'll see if Evans has what it takes.

What Zach Effron that would be a disaster. Ya Chris Evans has played the Human torch but Marvel is rebooting the F4. So i think he will do good playing the role of Captain America.
Thats very bad news because Chris Evans already plays as a marvel character. Man I wanted some one like Zach Effron to play the role. because hes more teenagerish.
none of u kn what yr talkin abt chris evans will make a great cap he is built right and he isnt to big of an acor to ruin the movie but hes a really good actor and i think he will be great and who ever in this world think john cena should be cap needs to be medicated hes by far the worse actor on the planet
Chris Evans doesn't have the acting chops to do this well. Has he ever even been the main character of a movie before?
