comics casting

[burntcopper]

Stellan Skarsgaard's been cast in Thor but refuses to reveal his role. Who votes for him being cast as Odin? Still a bit peeved that Alexander didn't get Thor (I believe in casting Vikings as Vikings), but we can always dream what the father-son pairing would've been like onscreen.

oh, and reminds me - who do people reckon for Captain America out of the current pool of 20-30-something actors? (really. Cap is supposed to be in his early-mid twenties at most if we were going with a WW2 setting, and not much more if you were doing post-defrosting, and the MTV poll that got dogpiled by the Barrowman fans was ridiculous. No voting for actors who would've been great when younger. I want realistic *now*.) I'm not sure if you could get someone who could realistically play the undernourished suspiciously-looks-like-had-TB Steve *and* Cap. So, nominations for both appreciated.

Christian Bale? A little older than you might want, but he did starve himself down to under 9 stone for The Machinist. Of course, he might not want to do that twice!

Plus he did Batman of course.

James DiFranco?

I know he doesn't count under those parameters, but I'd still vote for Adam Baldwin. If it absolutely has to be a younger actor, then Ryan McPartlin out of 'Chuck' has the right buffed up physicality. Doing both on the before and the after Steve screen is going to be tricky.

I agree that Barrowman is a little too long in the tooth for Cap, but the fact that an openly gay actor won a poll to play Captain freaking America... well, even if the fix was in, that (like anything else that can potentially make neo-cons' heads spin) gave me warm fuzzies.
