Since MARVEL announce that it was going ahead with the captain America movie rumours have been flying about as to whom would get the part DOLPH LUNDGREN was ridiculously mentioned at some point(lol).this morning I here that none other than will smith has been offered the role. At first I was like "YEAH RIGHT " then hey this would be interesting a brother as CAPTIAN AMERICA .Yet I cant help but feel sceptical about this WILL SMITH is anything but smart and I’m not sure another superhero movie is in the pipeline for him having just done HANCOCK this summer .Yet who knows the thought of playing a role that for many symbolised America,s war against the evil, that was the Nazis dressed in a American flag not a white male but, as an African American with all the supposed values that any American would have, and doing it the Will smith way. By the way there hasn’t been a black captain America ever in the comics (OR HAS THERE) well neither has there been a black president in the Whitehouse but doesn’t mean that the two could not happen does it ( TIME TRAVEL! there is a BLACK PRESIDENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE SEEMS ONE HAS HAPPENED). I wonder how fans of the character will take this, some didn’t like the thought of Mathew McConaughey/Leonardo DiCaprio playing the role, and here was I thinking bring him on. He might just pull it off , with will in the running  at last a brother taking on the Nazis for all to see. The movie will take place in World War II which will make a great setting for the movie. To be totally honest when i think of captain america  i do see him a s white .ps NOT THAT HE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THOUGH.

HERE  IT IS THE SYNOPSIS FOR THE MOVIE

Born during the Great Depression, Steve Rogers grew up a frail youth in a poor family. Horrified by the newsreel footage of the Nazis in Europe, Rogers was inspired to enlist in the army. However, because of his frailty and sickness, he was rejected. Overhearing the boy's earnest plea, General Chester Phillips offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in a special experiment... Operation: Rebirth.

After weeks of tests, Rogers was at last administered the Super-Solider Serum and bombarded by 'vita-rays.' Steve Rogers emerged from the treatment with a body as perfect as a body can be and still be human. Rogers was then put through an intensive physical and tactical training program. Three months later, he was given his first assignment as Captain America. Armed with his indestructible shield and battle savvy, Captain America has continued his war against evil both as a sentinel of liberty and as leader of the Avengers.

l do think that will be a factor in it. As long as we have the freedom to cast the best actor for the part. Whether it's an actor who's been a great actor, but hasn't starred in marquee action movies before like Robert Downey, or somebody that came out of Australia that we've never heard of." Kevin then went on to mention Will Smith, relating how much he loves the "Truth" storyline, which introduced a black Captain America that pre-dates Steve Rogers, "I love the 'Truth' storyline. I think that's very cool. I wouldn't do that as a first Captain America movie though. I think that arc came about four or five hundred issues into the "Cap" run. I don't see us launching with that particular comic."

UPDATE  

 IN A RECEN ITERVIEW WITH  MY FRIENDS OVER AT BOX OFFICE JOE JOHNSON HAD THIS TO SAY ABOUT CAPTAIAN AMERICA

It's not going to be a Captain America that you expect. It's something different. It is influenced by the comic book, but it goes off in a completely different direction. It's the origin story of Captain America. It's mostly period—there are modern, present-day bookends on it—but it's basically the story of how Steve Rogers becomes Captain America. The great thing about Captain America is he's a super hero without any super powers. Which is why this story, among the hundreds of super hero stories, appealed to me the most. He can't fly, he can't see through walls, he can't do any of that stuff. He's an every man who's been given this amazing gift of transformation into the perfect specimen—the pinnacle of human perfection. How does that affect him? What does that mean for him emotionally and psychologically? He was this 98-pound weakling, he was this wimp, and he's transformed instantly into this Adonis. You'd think he got everything he wanted. Well, he didn't get everything he wanted. The rules change at that point and his life gets even more complicated and dire. For me, that's the interesting part of the story. It's got some great action sequences in it and some incredible stuff that we've never seen before. But at the heart of it, it's a story about this kid who all he wants to do is fit in. This thing happens and he still doesn't fit in. And he has to prove himself a hero—essentially go AWOL to save a friend. Eventually at the very end, I don't want to give away to much, but he does fit in. But it's the journey of getting him there that's interesting. And it's a lot of fun. READ MORE

in another recent interview JOE JOHNSTON had this to say about the CAPTAIN AMERICAS  character and  who he is. 

UPDATE

 In a recent interview JOE JOHNSTON  said this about the character of CAPTAIN AMERICA He's a guy that wants to serve his country, but he's not a flag-waver. We're reinterpreting, sort of, what the comic book version of Steve Rogers was."  This was somthing he had alluded to about CAP in an earlier interview ,yet i cant help but feel a slight uneasyness about that after all this was the 40`s and most men could not wait to get on the battle field and fight the so called evil NAZIS , this was considered an honor to enlist and do what you can for your country,what i would have preffered to see is CAPTAIN AMERICA going from a flag waver to someone who then over a course of time see`s that this is not always the way to get hings done and that war no matter how someone aurgues the need for it, is in itself damaging.Whilst  keeping in that spirit  of the comics that evil must be stopped rather than giving cap and attitude from the get go show how he actually develops that attitude as a need to survive. Then carry this into the Avengers  develop this more.

 ********************************************************************************************************* 

The movie will be shot right here in the UK and he will most likely cast a complete unknwon  for the part MORE news CHRIS EVANS  who played JOHNNY STROM in  THE FANTASTIC FOUR MOVIE will become captain america also Sebastian Stan will play Bucky in the movie Chris Evans had this to day about his role 

I think Marvel is doing a lot of good things right now, and it's a fun character. Even if it wasn't a comic book. I think the story of Steve Rogers is great. He's a great guy. Even if it was just a script about anybody, I would probably want to do it. So it wasn't necessarily about the comic itself. He's a great character. He's a great character to play. He just happens to be a comic book character."

  rumor has it that HUGO WEAVER is to play the role as THE RED SKULL well perfect casting i would say although i `m not to hot on some of the names being cast as CAPTAIN AMERICA i hope they get it right but this looks like a very good choice."He has been called the most evil man who ever lived. The symbol of hate. The incarnation of torture. A bane to all those who would live free from tyranny. And therefore, it should come as no surprise that he is the sworn enemy of the land of the free's protector of liberty, Captain America."

It goes on to tell the origin of the Red Skull. " The Red Skull was born Johann Schmidt. Ironically, Steve Rogers and Johann Schmidt could have been brothers. Both came from poverty. Both suffered rejection for their lack of strength and power. And both were chosen to become more than average men.

But, unlike the man who would become Captain America, Johann was born into hatred as much as poverty. Were it not for the doctor who delivered him Johann would have been murdered, only minutes after being born, by his own father. Johann's father, a man whose senses had long been dulled by the siren call of alcohol, blamed the child for the death of his mother. Martha was the wife Hermann Schmidt repeatedly beat and abused yet claimed to love.

Hermann killed himself the next day. The doctor took Johann to an orphanage where the child remained until the age of seven. Seven years is the age of reason, some

Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker, one of Hitler's greatest officers in the Reich, had fallen from Hitler's grace. But not from the Skull's. The Skull sent him to Japan to create a subversive organization that would one day be known as

Hitler's paranoia regarding the Skull and his own limitations led to the decision that should he not win the world, he would destroy it. This resulted in the creation of a number of weapons that were buried only to resurface years later. These were robots of mass destruction known as Sleepers.

These doomsday weapons were "lost" when Captain America tracked the Skull down to his hidden bunker and defeated him. The Skull, spitting his vengeance through blood and broken bone, was caught in the cave-in. He was believed lost forever.

This was the first death of the Red Skull. The Red Skull unknowingly, had become a Sleeper himself. For the cave-in released an experimental gas that so slowed the Skull's aging process that he virtually became an immortal. It was during this state of suspended animation that his wounds slowly healed."
