My fav comic as a teen, and I’m anxious as hell to see this movie! I really really really hope they do a great job. Can’t make it too childish (ie. promoted too much to the kids) but understanding marketing and the toys side, I hope it’s still smart enough adults will enjoy it!

He has to be young enough to look as if he went right from high school to an Army recruiting office

As in, his face.

And ripped enough to look like the perfect human once after the Super Soldier serum

Aaron fits none of these.

I think that once they cast Cap, we will all be shocked at the choice.

Seriously need a great actor for this, and not an unknown. He is going to be the LEADER of the Avengers. Someone suggested Aaron Eckhart, which I couldn’t agree more with.

Okay yeah now I agree with you.

Makes sense.

I think 2011 will be the best movie year of my life.
(or 2012… whenever Cap and the Avengers come out)

Well at this point, no one other than those directly involved in the film know what they do.

And in that Q&A he blew off questions about the Disney acquisition and other topics he refused to comment on as well, which from a PR point of view could be interpreted as disapproval.

If the film wasn’t shaping up to his liking, he likely would have given a non-commital generalization like “We are working on things” instead of a shining endorsement.

I disagree

As MARVELS EIC i think he would get punched in the face if he gives the movie a bad rap, especially in such early stages.

Its like having the head of DC tell us that the Green Lantern movie is going to be biblical. I mean, sure… maybe hes right… but then again, would he really say otherwise?

I’m not saying he was supposed to LIE, I personally think that it really IS going to be good, just like he said.

I want to hear the opinion from someone that doesnt work in the same building as Stan Lee.

Means plenty. He may not be in charge of the film, but he has seen what they have so far and his opinion on it is not only qualified, but it means a LOT for the credability of the film.

Well coming from him it means nothing, he’s MARVEL’s chief editor

He also said that it leads perfectly to the Avengers movie
I think that at the end of the movie cap gets unfrozen and he gets out of the capsule and you see Banner, Thor and Ironman
Maybe that’s what he meant when he said that

Yeah, but the only difference is that so far, Marvel is doing a good job in doing so, whilst DC is doing a shitty job with the Justice League.

Interesting…. DC and Warner Bros must be plotting the same strategy with their own characters.
