Ryan Reynolds doesn't have a monopoly on ab-heavy heroes
There's a Captain America movie being made, slowly but surely, and as of late director Joe Johnston has been promising a casting announcement in the near future. The rumors of who will play Steve Rogers range from the predictable (Matt Damon) to the more predictable (Leonardo DiCaprio) but yesterday brought word of a fashionable unknown being considered for the role. A guy I've never heard of, Ryan McPartlin, from a show I've never watched, Chuck, told Moviehole recently that he read for Captain America and is being considered to wear the shield and ear wings. As you can see McPartlin has visibly toned muscles and thus fits the physical bill at least. So there's that.
I also read yesterday that the forthcoming movie has an officially confirmed villain to tangle with the chemically-augmented titular hero. Your loud demands of the Slug and Super-Adaptoid will do nothing to affect the astounding reveal I am about to make.
The guys behind the eventual Captain America flick have decided to walk down the road more appropriate and choose the most universally-accepted Captain America arch-nemesis as the antagonist for their film rather than a more obscure, story-appropriate fiend. This sort of approach is a very risky endeavor considering the questionable success of similarly-mounted superhero adaptations like X-Men, Spider-Man and The Dark Knight. Good luck with giving the fans the hero-vilain conflict they actually demand, Hollywood.
By now you must've guessed which nefarious baddie they went with. The villain set to vex your favorite walking paean to patriotism in the Captain America movie will be the evil disfigured nazi Red Skull. I know, I know. I was hoping for GameCock, too.
