Best actor for Captain America

[ryan256]

Well I saw the Iron man movie this weekend and the end of the movie left me with the feeling that a Captain America movie wasn't far off. And sure enough... I searched IMDB and found this. Which begs the question: Who should play Captain America?
Unlike the Spiderman and Ironman movies where the actors were chosen because they made a good Peter Parker or Tony Stark; this actor has got to accurately portray the hero, not the secret identity. He needs to be the tall, clean cut, all American, mid western soldier boy. I've come up with a few ideas but really don't like any of them. I've also omitted a few actors because they already have Marvel roles and it would be difficult to see them playing this one. Like Eric Bana; he did the last Hulk movie.

If you have a better one post it and I'll add it to the poll.

Edit: Updated the poll with other suggestions.

I just came in here to say that Downy Jr. is the perfect real life Tony Stark. Same can be said for Wolverine... wtf was his name?

Hey. If Eddie Murphy can play multiple roles in the same movie, why can't Hugh Jackman?

Well he has the look but can't act worth crap.

 

[HammerCurl]

If they had a nonspeaking role they should get Randy Couture to play him. Or get him a lot of acting lessons.

Beetlejuice

Hugh Jackman

Wolverine was a complete dickhead. He was an ass and hotheaded. There were only a handful of people that ever really warmed up to him, Jean Grey and Jubilee being the two best examples. (In the comic books Jubilee had the same Little Girl with a daddy complex that they gave Rogue in the film. The Comic book Rogue and the movie Rogue are completely different characters).

Jackman made him into a likeable person. A misanthrop with a heart of gold. That isn't Wolverine. Wolverine is an animal. He is barely controllable. He is an absolute badass. That is why readers loved him.

I am not saying I didn't enjoy his performance. I thought he made him an interesting char. But there was only one point in all three movies that I believed Jackman hit the comic book Wolverine on the head. That was the Commando Invasion of the School in the second one. Logan in complete bloodlust mutilating the people who dare to hurt those that he would never admit were close to him.

That was wolverine. He is a wolf who was adopted by a family as a pet. Loyal and protective to the family but not tame. At any time he could snap and kill anyone.
