Michael Shanks will play Captain America !!

Michael Shanks from the immensely popular Stargate series will play Captain America !! Rumored from reputable sources who waited on Mr. David Self and an unknown gentleman at a cafe in Los Angeles.

He looks the part. If its true, good.

Is there even a movie in the works?? Where is this info from?

He plays Daniel Jackson in Stargate SG1

He's the guy on the left in both pictures

They couldn't get a more well known actor for the job??? 😕

I'm pretty sure this is just BS anyway. Like I said, no screenplay, no director... so why would they have cast the lead?

Better off without big name stars...otherwise a lot of people don't separate the actor from the characters they've played before and just make comments like "he was better in Die Hard"

I prefer lesser known actors (as long as they can act)

Stargate is a melting pot of 'possible' actors. They said Tielk (How the hell do you spell his goddamned name !!!) was going to play Piccolo in the 'real' live action DBZ film.

Michael Shanks looks alright - as long as he bulks up enough.
But, this won't be offical until a director signs on.

Hey, what about Jason Lewis. Didn't you read what I wrote?

The old capt. america movie twas shweet

Hey i would rather have some unknown guy who can act than Brad Pitt 😐

If Macgyver wasnt so old I would say choose him 😛

Yeah... I'm pretty sure the thread-starter made up this information or something. I looked on the imdb and wikipedia and saw nothing about this guy playing Cap. I'll believe it when I see it.

no proof!

proove it give an editorial source

hey never thought about that, the pittster (brad) would be brillaint if he could bulk up more than he did for the achilles role as he was still skinney but he'd be very good, couldn't find many fellas better looking for the part

do they even have a first draft of the script yet? lol

Aaron Eckhart would be perfect for the role...that guy has the looks and the statue to bring to the table as Cappy...
