Rumor Mill: Pine To Play Captain America

1 min read

A tip from someone “within the Paramount hierarchy” claims that Chris Pine is on the short list to play Captain America.

Captain America first appeared in Timely Comics in March of 1941. The alter ego of Steve Rogers, Captain America’s powers were the result of an enhancement due to an experimental serum. Originally, Captain America assisted the U.S. during World War II, fighting against the Axis.

From what I’m hearing, he’s the frontrunner right now, though that could change. Can’t tell you who the other couple of choices are, cause that’ll work against me for reasons I don’t want to get into.”

The First Avenger: Captain America, directed by Joe Johnston, is due out next summer.
