well, i never said i wanted him as cap dude…i never said i hated him, i love will

im saying some people do. i have the links…well maybe hell be a good patriot (like THATLL ever hapen!)

ive always said hell make a good green lantern though….

1) Forget the round shield for now. If it does show up, it will show up either the following year in Avengers, or at least by the third act of the Cap film. The (first) shield will be more like the “crest” like shield seen in his early comics days.

2) Captain America is a codename; his friend, Bucky (sans Lone Ranger mask) is an 16 year old soldier who lied about his age to get into WWII. Cap leads a small Allied team codenamed Invaders. A demolition expert is nicknamed The Torch. haha. Not so funny, though, is that Bucky buys it by the end of reel two. (hmmm…maybe the gay actor thing isn’t such a great idea after all…)

3) Cap is used as propaganda, many believe he does not exist and/or he isn’t “for real”. But he and/or The Invaders allegedly help clear various enemy front lines, gather intel, and face off against a super-soldier like team of Nazi stormtroopers, led by the Red Skull.

4) His getup is meant to distract the enemy while the Allies conduct battles on other, more strategic fronts.

5) During a brief capture, the Nazis mock Rogers and paint an A on the uniform’s forehead. Patches and/or rubber sewn in like Al Pyun’s 91 DTV flick don’t wash.

6) The wings are actually radio receivers and/or can listen in on varied Allied (or Axis) channels.

7) The blue scales on Cap’s uniform are flame resistant.

8) The bone white sleeves don’t happen until after he is frozen in ice. This is a result of being in suspended animation.

9) His boots are not red. They are a brownish red military style. Same with the gloves.

10) He has more of his classic 40s look.

And there it is.

And I am a Big Willy fan.

There was already an outcry when it was suggested that an NonAmerican actor could play Cap. Even if he looked the part and sounded like an American.

American National Pride is a force to be reckoned with, and I think you know as well as I do that it will play a HUGE role in the studio’s decision on an actor.

I like Barrowman, and he is wonderful in Who/Torchwood, but I just dont see him as Cap even with dyed hair.

As for John Barrowman.

Now in Barrowman’s favor: said actor has to be “game” for the part. What I mean is, they fully know that at some point they will wear a uniform-like costume with stripes, a star on the chest, wings on the ears and an A on the head. (I hope they drop the A somehow, and make him more like US Agent-like, but it won’t happen) It’s one thing when an actor takes a part that has the character build a suit of armor and becomes Iron Man; it’s one thing when an actor takes on a role and turns into via makeup and CG effects into the Hulk, An actor might even get away with, through FX, wear a helmet radio headset and ride on an ant, should that film ever come to pass.

Also, Barrowman being gay also isn’t much of an issue as some might think. Did you hear any complaints about Sir Ian McKellean being cast as Magneto almost nine years ago? If there were, I cannot remember them. I’m sure there might have been…but after X-Men and its sequels came out…nobody seemed to make an issue of it. So it shouldn’t be an issue.

The only issue regarding Barrowman is if he is the right actor for the part. He could die his hair, he can work out etc. But,,,

Yeah, he’s neat in Doctor Who and the spinoff Torchwood. But as much as I would like to see a new or rising actor in the role, when one considers the other names being rumored about even if it isn’t so- such as Leo DeCaprio or Matt McConaughey- they not only are “bigger” names- but at this stage better actors as well.

Note: he could cameo as Union Jack, should there be an Invaders reference.
