You may recognize Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith from the “Matrix” movies. Could be a great choice. The guy makes a great villain.

BREAKING NEWS: Captain America is finally casted…

Marvel films have finally casted their Captain America, and that is Chris Evans. I actually feel pretty good about this casting. Nothing amazing or mind blowing, but pretty good. I’ll take anybody but that overrated Channing Tatum.

Lets hope they make this a good movie ’cause I always liked the Captain America character.

Report: Joe Johnston speaks on “Captain America” live action movie…

“Wolfman” director, Joe Johnston speaks about his upcoming “Captain America” movie with Marvel films. Johnston says he wants to cast a completely unknown actor to play Captain America, the hero. However, Johnston wants more well known actors to play the other characters. Johnston confirms that Red Skull could be the main villain of the film. Red Skull, is the Nazi villain that has the red face. Johnston says this movie will be totally different than the other Marvel superhero films.

Wonder what Johnston means when he says this film will be different than other Marvel films? Will it not be a CGI fest full of popcorn action effects like all the others? Since Captain America will be played by an actor we’ve never heard of before, he’ll probably get a well known star for Red Skull.

Who should be Red Skull? My pick would be either Christian Bale or Jackie Earl Haley.
