UPDATED: First Look: Chris Evans as CAPTAIN AMERICA

by Matt Holmes

Coming Soon have scanned more images from the EW issue, which also features our first look at Hugo Weaving as an early version of Red Skull, and lots more images of Evans as Cap... I have four major problems with the choice of Chris Evans as Captain America, of which this EW cover is a first face & costume look... 1) He's too 21st century looking to play a World War II veteran. He hasn't got that era quality of an Aaron Eckhart-type, or Lee Marvin. 2) They have the perfect Captain America already in their cast with character actor Neal McDonough, who will play Dum Dum Dugan. 3) Evans is too young to make Steve Rogers feel anything but inferior alongside Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark in the eventual Avengers movie. They should have hired someone in their 40's. 4) He has already played, to good effect, Johnny Storm for Marvel's Fox-based Fantastic Four series and it goes against my rule of one comic book role for each actor only.
