Seth Rogen Will Play Steve Rogers in Captain America Film

RE: Comments

Ok, I agree with Batboy. lets look at the origins first. He was a SMALL, SCRAWNEY guy, not big like seth rogen. Also he was BLOND, not whatever hair color rogen is (and yes I know they can bleach it, still not same). So Rogen as even pre cap is an insult to the character.

RE: Comments

man, read the story...it says they haven't decided whether or not there would be a different actor to portray cap or USE CGI techniques! If they are gonna use CGI techniques then that is going to suck because like i said before there is no way audiences can take Seth seriously to play Cap! Also in the comics, the serum made Cap the ultimate soldier...NOT an ENTIRELY differnent person!...so why would you cast an entirely different person to play cap after the serum is taken?! They should do it like spider-man did...same actor but beefed up WITHOUT CGI techniques!...and there is no way SETH can pull this off cause he is always hanging out at McDonald's pigging out!

RE: Comments

For the simple fact that Rogen is an accomplished actor, whether it's comedy or not should bring attention. And second, he is playing Cap before the super serum, which makes him average American. They are not sure who is playing the pumped up Steve Rogers though. I think Seth is a great actor and should be taken seriously. Hey, if Jim Carrey and Will Smith can do it, give Seth a chance at least. Hell, even Downey has been given a second chance with Iron Man, he was a recovering addict and liability risk before this.

Isn't there going to be a crossover with these movies? The avengers movie set to be released in 2011 looks like a great success with the mere fact that it has Robert Downey Jr (an established actor) and the fact that audiences already view him as Tony Stark for making a cameo in the incredible hulk and iron man II is coming out soon with Downey as Tony Stark. Marvel should pick an actor that will look the superhero type, be taken seriously for this role, and be committed to appear in all the sequels for not only this franchise but all the marvel universe as well. Look at the previous Batman films...it sucked cause Batman kept changing and the audiences lost interes since they could not relate to Batman cause he kept changing, once the reboot happened the audience gained interest again since a Batman was established with someone that was consistent. Superman returns was a failure since they put an actor who really is a nobody. Marvel has to put an established action actor. Marvel threw a TD with Downey Jr., but threw an interception with Rogen!

RE: Comments

Look at the Green Lantern rumored to be seriously looking at Chris pine for this role...he even LOOKS like Hal Jordan and he is an actor taken seriously for action roles (Star Trek). Audiences already view him as an action star, but NOT Seth Rogen! C'mon Marvel start taking things seriously! Look at DC Comics, Batman Begins and the DARK KNIGHT were a huge success and the Green Lantern looks like it will be a success if they put Chris Pine and he looks like hal Jordan...can marvel seriously look at Seth Rogen and see 300 millions from this guy?...No way! C'mon Marvel, stick close to the comic source like DC is doing cause it looks like DC Comics is starting to win the comics war!

RE: Comments

Seth Rogen?!...this fat **** is gonna be "Cap"! The movie hasn't even started filming and it is already going down the crapper just with the fact that this guy is gonna be cap....besides, this guy is a comedy actor (and fat)...if this guy is gonna be cap then why not start planning a reboot already cause it will be a failure...look at punisher 2, it was a reboot and no one went to see it cause the lead guy was a NOBODY. Rogen can't be taken seriously for this role. Hasn't Marvel learned their lesson with Punisher 2? Put an actor that audiences will take seriously for this role, not someone who the audience is gonna be laughing at before the movie even starts!

Yeah, Seth Rogen rules!

  Ironic after all the fuss about Will Smith playing the role,it goes to Seth Rogen and there is hardly any protest.Apparently many of you felt Will Smith's skin color ruled him out.Same with Dwayne Johnson,Vin Diesel,Tyrese Gibson and any other person of color who actually looks like a Superhero.But it's okay for Irish-American Steve Rogers to be portrayed by a heavyset Jewish guy from Canada.Just goes to show we still have a long way to go as far as "content of character" over skintone.My vote would have been for Mary Valley.West Point grad,Army Officer,and Gulf War vet.
