Joe Quesada Discusses The First Avenger: Captain America Script

Source:  Comic Book Resources
Comic Book Resources caught some of the Q&A with Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Joe Quesada at New York's Comic-Con who gave an update on The First Avenger: Captain America:

I've seen a couple of outlines and an initial screenplay, and it's going to rock everyone's socks off," Quesada said. "It's very unexpected, the kind of movie it is." He added that "Captain America" sets up The Avengers in "a fantastic way" and also mentioned that there is an undisclosed wish list of actors to play the superhero.


The Joe Johnston-directed comic book adaptation stars Samuel L. Jackson. Paramount and Marvel Studios have set a July 22, 2011 release date. The Avengers will hit theaters May 4th, 2012.

id say Damon could pull it off, i know im gonna get bashed but Affleck i think could. Worthington is being thrown around to much, Leo might be able to but Brad's already has the built for it and we have seen him already see him carry a shield and wear a chest plate in Troy. So their are alot of possibilities but i don't want some English guy playing it. Stick with an American

thats true Chad, but let the media have their narrow minded opinion when they probably dont know shit bout Cap and are just jumping on the band wagon all of sudden on a big story like this movie.

ill only value the opinion of true comic fans and creators, not the old geezer covering health care or the busty chick who does the weather

if he looks like Cap, Acts like Cap, and the true fans love it, thats all that should matter...

As long as he sounds like some type of American accent it will be fine. But if they casted somebody like Worthington, it would just be a stupid media thing "Captain America played by an Aust." etc etc. I can already see the stupid bullshit haha.

There are plenty of actors who could pull it off either if it is English or not. Though I was never a big fan of Cap, but I did like what I saw years ago.

as some people have mentioned already bout who plays cap, american or not, as long as the actor can play the role and convince us there cap, its good enough for me

i mean cmon,how many actors play characters who arent from there own ethnic background or country and still make us believe they are from where the character is from...its called acting for a reason...

if they pick someone they think fits the bill and can bring the spirit of Cap to the big screen, i say give it a chance and more power to them

He has a strong chin and an adams apple so ?

Chad vital, sorry friend, but I don't like the looks of that guy for Cap. He needs to have an American face strong, and a adams apple. But that guy had everything else. Hair, height, buffness.

And I want to see a Hawkeye cameo!!! If not this one, then at least a cameo in the Avengers.

And since Cap is so buff he's gotta have a somewhat deep voice. What about that actor who plays Eric, a vampire in True Blood, I think he's real name is Alexander Skarsgård, and I'll post a link to some images of him below...

Btw, if you've seen True Blood, this guy is really tall and could easily get buff for the role (he's already toned).

I say an unknown will be casted. Matt Damon's not a bad idea, but I think they could do better, cause I can't picture hearing Matt Damon's voice in that suit lol. It'd be really weird.

I know what you mean Newkill, I just think they might go for someone younger. But Eckhart would be my pick.

Cripple, age doesn't really apply for Captain America. He was born 1917, and Aaron isn't that old he's just 41. It's not like where talking like a 10 movie series of this franchise. I doubt Pitt and Dicaprio would be offered the role, simply because Captain America is a well known character. Sure the average guy might not know every thing about him but they know what the guy does and looks like. So they would most likely go for someone not that well known to save money, because I'm sure those two would be asking for buddles. Damon isn't really up in the A list area yet, so I think he's there best pick.

oh to go along with the namor thing, just throwing this out there also, u think they could some how pull off the rest of the Invaders for Caps origin?
  (Delete)
October 21st, 2009 10:10pm
someone at the bottom mentioned Namor, and that would be the shit. just had to say that quick.

and idc who plays him as long as they look the part and can act, so if he is british or scottish idc, as long as he can act. Worthington would be alright, Hunnam would be better. Damon would be the best imo. also i heard a long time ago, so this is probably not accurate at all now, that Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio were both up for the role. i'd rather not have either of them though, just throwing it out there for discussion.

i think in the next month we'll have to know who is playing Cap, i mean they need to start filming in like 4-6 months if they want this out by july 2011, plus ppl have been talkin bout it for way too long, we just need to know already.

Aaron Eckhart? I mean I can see him in the outfit, but I think might be a little too old.

October 21st, 2009 5:19pm
Charlie Hunnan and Worthington can't do this movie. Captain America must be played by an American.
  (Delete)
October 21st, 2009 3:01pm
I just want to see their list of possibles.
  (Delete)
October 21st, 2009 2:07pm
some may agree or disagree, but i think Sam Worthington could fit the role of Cap
  (Delete)
October 21st, 2009 1:37pm
Before people start throwing their shit around, I never said Steve Rogers WASN'T a strong character.
  (Delete)
October 21st, 2009 1:36pm
It's hard these days to find and affordable KNOWN that can really act.

I say black Captain America is still not a terrible idea, especially because Isaiah Bradley is a strong character.

October 21st, 2009 1:03pm
I agree. Damon is made for this. He has the 40's/50's style about him, has been blonde, is a good actor, built, and he has even starred with amnesia so he'll know what its like to feel out of place in this movie. Perfect in my opinion. But other choices ae out there.

I look forward to this movie more than I do the Avengers people. I mean there's so many things that can go wrong in that movie, and Cap will always be my fave Avenger. Can't wait.

October 21st, 2009 12:42pm
Charlie Hunnem would be a good choice as the capt

still no Starring role for anybody

They need to go with an unknown that knows how to act to play the part.

I've seen the earlier version and have read the issues when he died. The latest versions, and I can say only one thing.

Matt Damon needs to get this role. It's perfect for him.

I don't think they will go overboard with the patriotic bit tyler, I think he will just have strong morals for america, kind of like a presidential batman lol.
