Matthew McConaughey Talks "Captain America"Posted: April 28th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
  Casting rumors for the upcoming "First Avenger: Captain America" have been floating around the internet ever since the film was announced. Some of the potential candidates include Will Smith, Channing Tatum, Mike O'Hearn ("American Gladiators") and Matthew McConaughey.
Out of all the actors, McConaughey keeps being named as the favorite, mostly because he looks the part. Unfortunately, the last time he was asked about whether he's interested in taking on the superhero, he said that he never heard of the character.
Now, during a press conference for "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past," McConaughey was once again asked about whether he would be interested in starring in the "Captain America" film. This time, his response was a bit more positive. "It sounds fun," he told MTV, adding that he has yet to see a script.

Hell, if they're not going to take this seriously, they might as well cast Luke Wilson.

Ha can't lose the fucking accent so no!!! Cap is a New Yorker! Plus Cap is supposed to be a young guy, if they are going to use an actor in their 30s they should go with Matt Damon. Look at this pic and imagine him with blonde hair. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.publishersweekly.com/articles/blog/880000288/20071113/matt_damon.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.publishersweekly.com/blog/880000288/post/1380017338.html&h=400&w=300&sz=34&tbnid=I7GA3fXXlujBUM::&tbnh=124&tbnw=93&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmatt%2Bdamon&usg=__vUOf3cZYC8B_xlGt7Cd6z9CCKCo=&ei=MMv2SfbuNp_MM4Kbsa4P&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=4&ct=image He knows how to do fight scenes from the Bourne films and he has no problem doing different accents( The Talented Mr. Ripley, in which he was nominated for a Golden Globe for best actor).

He's still in negotiations over the number of times he gets to be seen shirtless in the movie.

No indeed. He can't act or maybe more correctly he doesn't care to act. He just likes making money from horny women. It's plain and simple and I sure as heck don't want somebody who hasn't even HEARD of Cap to try and play him. I guess at least he isn't a big liar like most actor/actresses and saying they are the hugest fans when you know they didn't even pick up the source material until their agent sent it over to them. If he is their number one pick then I am all for Will Smith being Cap as that would be a way better movie.

Man what happened to you? Amistad, A Time to Kill; now these semi-entertaining movies where the most interesting part of the script you read is where it says you get to take off your shirt and you "Oh shit, yes! Im doin this flick!". You had potential man, its still in there, I know it. Come on man, what're you doing with your life?
