I'm pushing for Nathan to play Thor.
Nathan Jones would make the absolute best Thor... Bill Goldberg for Lobo!!! I, know that no one wants another wrestler in movies after the way Hogan butchered Hollywood, but guys like The Rock, and John Cena have something that Hogan never had, and that's charisma. The Rock as a newbie actor is a lot better that he is given credit for.
I don't think that there is anyone in all of Hollywood that looks more like Captain America than Cena, his only downfall is that he's a little taller than Captain America (2 inches).
Just go and look at his Pics on the net, and you might be able to see what I do.
At one time I thought Matthew McConaughey would have made a decent cap but he's too short I believe (5'11" or so). I like Pitt but I think he's dead wrong for this role. Of course I said the same thing about Jane in the Punisher but he surprised the hell out of me. Naturally, though, Jane resembles more Cap than the Punisher.
Its pretty bad.
Everything about it seems cheap, especially the cinematography. But their is somewhat of a camp fun watching it. Ned beatty, and the bad cop corprate Ed-209 guy from Robocop is in it too.
It would have been better if they kept the story in the past during WWII with Red skull having a red skull, intead of flashing forward to the present, or 1992 I should say
