Could a Captain America remake be cool?

WWII movie with Namor, Bucky and Human Torch would be awesome, though.

Ok, but lets do it in the near future...Kinda darker.

Can Namor be cool, though?

Extremely cool. Namor is one of the coolest characters there is.

He wouldnt be wearing his little speedo?

Who plays Namor--Ed Norton or Ashton Kutcher (serious)

Wait.........Cap has to fight the evil terrorist..........wait for it.......................................................................................................................................NAMOR!!!!!!!!

Here's my casting:
Jim Davidson is Steve Rogers/Captain America

Angelica Bridges is Diamondback
Diamondback

Robert Duvall is Jarvis
Jarvis

Treat Williams is Nick Fury
T. Williams

Ron Perlman is Red Skull

I like all, but Cap has to be ripped. Is Davidson ripped?

Give it the Ultimate treatment 😄 GO widescreen 😄

IMO, people would be way more interested if Cap had to deal with today's issues (terrorism)

BUt we can import Red Skull, of course.

No offense... but that cast sucks...

And besides, Isn't Jarvis Iron Man's butler?

I think they should keep the shield out of the story until close to the climax.

Then he finds the shield and is able to defeat the villain.
Kind of like Bat Begins. We didnt really see Batman for a while.

LAND OF THE DEAD is a terrible movie from a terrible franchise. It was doomed to fail.

IMO, WWII is passe

He's the current star in the WWE. Probably equal to the Rock.

But how hard could it be playing the Cap?

I mean, Christian Bale is good, but he's no TOm Hanks.

please tell me you're kidding...... please

A) wrestlers suck at acting (it's like Newtons 7th law of physics)
B) it could be very hard.... not only is it physically demanding but you have to make people believe this could be a real person
c) Christian Bale is good, Tom Hanks is good.... but Tom Hanks would not have made a good Batman... i don't get your comparison

please.... lets have no more talk of wrestlers playing big budget movie roles....... everyone knows they suck.... most of them can't even give an angry wrestling "interview" with any degree of believability

the rock ...... i think he's probably the best "actor" to come out of wrestling..... but that doesn't make him a good actor.... just a decent "wrestler" turned actor

my point with CHristian Bale is that you dont have to be a "great actor" to play a superhero.

John Cena could surprise. You never know. He is definitely a dead ringer for the Captain.

The good thing about Superhero movies is that u dont require a lot of great dialog. Its more about the realism of the effects. Also, many people care more about if the movie sticks to the spirit of the actual comic.

I like John Cena. Take a look at some of his pictures on his site.

SO if you dont like the wrestler, I challenge you guys to find a better Cap.

almost any actor would be a better cap than any wrestler or bodybuilder.... it's like what they say about martial arts films.... you can teach an actor to fight (choreographed) but you can't teach a martial artist to act... it's a skill you either have or you don't... and Cap doesn't have to look like comic cap.... too many comic characters have flawless chisseled looks... it's unnatural and unrealistic considering cap was just a random soldier to begin with

so who do u like?

Guys, guys, John Cena will be the main star of a movie that is coming to a theatre near you. (I think it is called The Marine.)

Wrestling is half acting and they may not be perfect, but they do okay.

However, I don't think Cena would make a good Captain America.
His formulaic wrestling matches won't translate well into fight scenes.

(And what the-- why is this thread so wide?)
