I love Cap as much as anyone but we'll see what happens. I just hope they don't cast Big Willie Style in the lead. 

By the way, I just saw a preview for another Punisher movie. Good grief. No one gets tired of a Punisher crapfest. Only positive is Titus Pullo is playing Castle.

I thought the Thomas Jane Punisher was pretty good.  As for the new previews, "I'm waiting to be impressed."  Titus Pullo is cool, but I don't think he fits the role.  I'd rather see him in a non-Punisher action movie.

Cappy on the other hand, all I have to hear is that they're planning one and it gets me all herny.  Hopefully the bulk of it is WW2 era Captain America adventures.  Imagine the Normandy scene from "Saving Private Ryan" with Cap thrown in there, leading the charge.  It has potential to say the least.

I will boycott the damn thing if Fresh Prince is playing Cap.  Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the guy, but it's just absurd to put him in that role.  I would start mauling people if I suddenly saw Cap see the Red Skull and go "Oh, hell no!"

RE: The Punisher movie - Never saw it.  I don't care for the character, the movie looked boring, and wasn't Travolta in it as a lame villain?

RE: Captain America - Now we're talking!  It's really interesting what Marvel is doing with the Avengers universe as far as trying to tie all these movies together.  Cappy and the Avengers movie are planned for the same summer.  They're concerned in making Cappy a feel-good hit because it is key to making the follow-up Avengers movie a hit a month or so later.  We'll see!

I heard they're also working on an ANT-MAN movie (by the same director as Sean of the Dead), but I don't think they're bringing that in with the other movies.  I could see that as a bit of a comical farce.

Will Smith in the role would only make sense if it were a movie about this:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth:_Red,_White_%26_Black which could be a cool movie as well, but it's not the story of Steve Rogers.

Nothing could be worse than Nick Fury: A.G.E.N.T. of Shield with The Hoff in the lead role.

Wait, they're doing Captain America AND Avengers movies in the same summer?  Would it be the same actor as Cap in both?  It would have to be, right?

Marvel is hoping all of the actors appear in character in the Avengers movie, but as far as I know no contracts are signed.  Those involved like the idea, but we'll see what happens once they start talking money.  How sweet would that be though?
