Among the final shortlisted candidates for Captain America before Chris Evans nabbed the part was Channing Tatum, whose career was just starting to ramp up with appearances in the likes of Public Enemies, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and Dear John.

Would It Have Worked?: Back in 2010? Not really. Though Tatum came into his own with the release of 21 Jump Street in 2012 and has started to be taken seriously as an actor in recent years, it's hard to imagine him bringing the same gravitas to the part that Evans has.

Tatum sure had the looks for the role, but the maturity and conviction back in 2010? Not really.
