Evans brings more comic book cred than anybody else on the shortlist Marvel had been selecting from, a list that included John Krasinski, Garett Hedlund, and Mike Vogel. Evans comic book adaptation experience clearly gave him an edge. In August he's set to star alongside Michael Cera in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and next month he'll be featured in high octane action flick, The Losers. Evans already has starred in two Marvel Comics properties as The Human Torch in two Fantastic Four films.
I would've preferred Channing Tatum win the part, but Evans has the clean cut look that the role demands. Now he just needs to eat his Wheaties™, down a protein shake or two, and get dirtied up.
Captain America is due to start filming in June.
