2 years ago Iron man and The Incredible Hulk hit the big screen. Many fans waited until after Iron Man was over to see the Easter Egg of Nick Fury (played by Samuel L. Jackson). Walking from the shadows as debonaire as always, Jackson delivered the bullet heard around the world. "I'd like to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative," was the cause for ovation that day as we eagerly anticipated The Incredible Hulk for another cryptic message. Our wait was not long... as General Ross sat in a bar and in sauntered Tony Stark. I remember joking with my buddy quoting Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Shang Tsung) from the first Mortal Kombat Movie, "It has begun!!"
2 years have past and we are ready for another Iron Man, but what of the other Avengers? Imdb has a cast line-up already featuring Hawkeye, Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Thor, Nick Fury, and War Machine. Thor is beginning production with Chris Hemmsworth playing The Nordic God of Thunder and we're still arguing who should play Captain America. Should it be the guy from The Office, whose nose and ears would get more screen time then all the other actors or should it be the Australian, Sam Worthington? Wait... maybe Mike Vogel or the dude from Supernatural? Oh geeze... scheduling conflicts.. maybe an unknown guy.. howabout.... Derek Theler or maybe try Dane Cook? Dane Cook? Really?
I know that we are still as excited about an Avenger's movie like we were 2 years ago, but this Captain America bit is getting old. Everyone is checking their Twitter to see the latest innuendo leading to possible casting. Everyone has the inside scoop as to who the leading man is and daily it is someone new or it goes back to John Krasinski.
C'mon... can you really see this guy as the All-American, Super Soldier?
Yeah... me neither, but this is where it seems we are heading. Let's just hope that they have a script to work with first that is very solid before they make another mistake like X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
