Captain America: The Great White Hype

When I first found out that Chris Evans was cast as Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America I thought to myself, "Shit, the dude from Not Another Teen Movie and the Human Torch. I'm not sure if i am feeling this." I always thought that the person who would be playing Captain America would be somebody more serious and quiet type of actor. But after watching the Super Bowl teaser trailer I realized that without even hearing Evans speak and knowing his resume, that this would be the perfect choice.

I would have to say that Evans is the best choice because well, he is very American. Blonde hair, blue eyes, a million dollar smile and charisma that acting school cant teach. He is the epitome of the American man that everyone wants to be and now its his chance to show the world that he can back up his swagger portraying one of Marvel's most beloved superheroes.

Now I'm not 100 percent sure what Captain America's personality was like in the comic book, but hey, this is Hollywood and we are in the Re-Boot era which means there is lots of room for re-invention. Chris Pine had a similar task in reinventing Captain Kirk in 2009's blockbuster hit "Star Trek". He realized that he couldn't pull a Shatner off for two hours, Shatner is Shatner, that speech pattern cannot be recreated, mimiced or copied in any way shape or form. So what did Pine do? He made himself based off the old Kirk. Same arrogance, bravado and swagger. But more sarcastic and comedic. And the end result? Majority praise and recognition from Trekkies and 257 million dollars in the U.S. box office.

The movie hasn't hit theaters yet but Evans has the acting chops, the face and charm to rake in millions of dollars for Marvel and to kick start The Avengers franchise which will be MASSIVE and i mean MASSIVE if done correctly. So you have my back Chris Evans, don't let America down.
