Matthew McConaughey. Interesting choice. Never figured him for a comic book movie.
He was freaking awesome in Reign Of Fire and that was a video game movie. close to a comic book movie!

I see Kevin McKidd, and I'm reminded of Simon Pegg. Would you cast Simon Pegg as Captain America?
Who the **** is Simon Pegg. McKidd is perfect he'll just have to change his accent. I mean hell have you seen him in Dog Soldiers that Steve Rogers with a scottish accent....I mean c'mon man....gezzz. 😬

I'm with roughrider. I can't for the life of me see any Steve Rogers at all in Kevin McKidd. In some pictures he looks very Irish or Scottish, and in others he looks Russian.
Kevin McKidd is scottish. He'd make a decent Steve Rogers. But whoever they get, the actor must learn how to fight.

Mckidd is still my fantasy draft. The actor doesnt need to learn how to fight as much as the production team needs a choreographer. Christian bale, and ben affleck learned how to fight before their comic book roles. This, however, made no difference because the choreography was shit

But I loved the fight choreograhy in Batman Begins and I know for a fact that Bale did a lot of his own stunts in The Dark Knight. In these types of movies the actor/actress should learn some of the moves because when I see action movies, comic book movies, when viewing fight scenes I want to see the actor/actress do some of their own stunts and not always a stuntman.

I agree with you. I too, appreciate when actors are capable and willing to execute their own stunt work. As for the choreography in Batman begins. I love the fact that Nolan went down a more realistic route with the fighting. Anytime, however, when batman was on screen fighting. The choreography had to combat tight frames and restrictive movement. I understand, the suit compromises much movement, but it is still annoying none the less.
About the uniform- I agree that his classic comic book threads may need some tweaking, but they shouldn't go overboard. To many film makers are afraid of the comic coustumes- and it sometimes hurts the look on film (X-Men- I think the all matching leather suits was visually boring- a little more color, a little more like the actual comics would have been a big improvement). I think the three best looking superhero's on screen were:
Superman (esp. the Chris Reeves era)
Spider-man
Batman
All perfect (or nearly) copies of the comic books.
As for actors, I think it's a shame they didn't make the movie ten of fifteen years ago, 'cause Howie Long would have been perfect (a little old now). Anyone they pick should look like Howie; tall, built, sqare-jawed- the perfect American man. No Brad Pitt type pretty boy, please! (Someone threw out Aaaron Eckhart... not bad.)
Two guys strike me as perfect for Red Skull; John Malkovich, or Wilem Dafoe.
I don't think Captain America is going to happen for some years, if Marvel is serious about their Avengers movie. Screenwriter Zak Penn stated the aim is for 2010, and that he wants to adapt the origin story from The Ultimates(it's perfect, as Millar & Hitch did Ultimates like it was an Avengers movie); if so, that is how Cap will be introduced to new moviegoers.
This will be easier now, as every new Marvel character going to the big screen will be under the banner of Paramount Pictures( starting with Iron Man), just like the DC characters are under Warner Brothers. But this would mean no Hulk, as he is under lock with Universal Pictures and not Paramount. But, the Avengers can have Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver, Wasp & Giant Man, and on & on.
After the first Avengers film, then maybe Cap will have his own.

Marvel is planting seeds for an Avengers already. Sam Jackson is playing Nick Fury in the Iron Man and already filmed was a scene involving General Thunderbolt Ross and Tony Stark for the upcoming new Hulk movie.
