A new name has been added as being Marvel Studio's pick to play the title character in
The First Avenger: Captain America - and that name is Leonardo diCaprio. That's right, according to
Latino Review, diCaprio is currently at the head of Marvel's list to play Steve Rogers.
If that wasn't enough, apparently Marvel's second choice for the role is none other than Brad Pitt. Pitt's name has also been dropped for taking on Marvel's thunder-god,
Thor.
Now, they are quick to point out that Marvel is extremely unlikely to confirm or deny this report until something is decided. Further, they point out that an offer has probably not even been made yet - simply that within the halls of Marvel Studios, diCaprio is the primary name being mentioned.

The First Avenger: Captain America and
Thor, keep reading MovieWeb and SuperheroFlix.

Seriously though, two thoughts:
1. Leo would be fine as pre-super soldier Steve Rogers. But how the heck are they gonna bulk him up enough to be Cap.
2. What about Michael Trucco from "Battlestar Galactica"?
Captain America------They need to get Jensen Ackles for the Catpain. He's tough, he has great humor, an American acsent, about the right age, and has the face of a hero. Jensen Ackles is also great in Supernatural, and he can be great in Captain America. People just need to give him a chance. Viggo Mortensen for Red Skull. He is also a tough guy, great actor, and would be a great villain.
Thor-------I have no idea who could be Thor, but I think the villain needs to be Loki. Loki should be played by Mathew Marsden. He has that personality, that could make him a trickster and a villain.
Iron Man 2------Chow Yun Fat should be the Mandarin. He's a great actor. He is tough. He was awesome in Pirates. He would make the perfect villain. Also keep all the cast fom the last movie.

So that's my cast for Thor and Captain America. Here is my whole cast from Captain America, Thor, Iron Man 2, and Avengers.
Steve Rogers/Captain America- Jensen Ackles
Red Skull- Viggo Mortensen
Thor- I don't know
Loki- Mathew Marsden
Tony Stark/Iron Man- Robert Downey Jr.
Jim Rhodes/War Machine- Terrence Howard
Pepper Potts- Gwenith Paltrow
The Mandarin- Chow Yun Fat
Nick Fury- Samuel L. Jackson
Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk- Ed Nortan
Betty Ross- Liv Tyler
Now, Leterrier 'fessed up to SOS Hollywood that the Captain America scene was actually cut from the final theatrical version because it was "was a very dark and strong scene" that was "considered to be too hard to young audiences to take." But Cap's cameo will surface somewhere on the Internet this week, as well as on the eventual DVD release.
So do u have any idea who was Capt America in hulk movie? DiCaprio?
