lydamorehouseSo, of course, I checked out the Captain America site this morning, and I have to say I could do without this: Captain America Lands Titanic Rumor from Wired's blog (which they apparently cribbed from ComicBookMovies.com). Leo DiCaprio as Steve Rogers? I believe the comic book term is: AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!
I'm very sorry, but my humble opinion is that Mr. DiCaprio looks a bit like a rat. I find him unattractive and sort of vaguely sleezy. And he's not nearly tall enough, is he? (Cap is always pictured as nearly six inches or more taller than Spider-Man. Is DiCaprio any taller than Toby McGuigure?) Sadly, I think I'd have preferred Matthew McConnaughy -- and I wasn't terribly sold on that idea.
Although, you know, I thought the Marvel producers/casting folks were off their meds when they picked Robert Downey, Jr. as Iron Man, too. So what do I know?
Also, as far as which Avengers they're planning to do for the movie, apparently this is the answer: the semi-original line-up, as spilled by the director of Iron Man in Newsweek -- Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Ant-Man. (Technically, for you purists out there, the originals were: Ant-Man, Wasp, Thor, Iron Man, and the Hulk... Cap joined four issues later, having been frozen in suspended animation in arctic ice.)
