Chris Evans is Captain America!!!
Mon, March 22, 2010 
After a long and strenous process where it seems everyone and their mother was tapped to potentially weild the mighty shield, Captain America finally has a face, and it is none other than the Human Torch himself Chris Evans according to The Hollywood Reporter, article can be read here.
While this seems like a safe choice, given the outrage that Krasinski got at the prospect of being Captain America, I think Chris Evans will be a great Captain America. Evans has been in some really bad films, but in those bad films, he was always a positive of those films. Imagine what he can do in a good movie! Plus, Evans is young. He has charisma. He looks a lot like Cap. I don't think Evans being the Human Torch really matters in regard to Captain America, since the FOX films will never crossover into the Marvel film universe. The question I think people really have is, does he have the acting ability to lead a group of men consisting of Rovert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark believably. I think Evans will shock us all in his attempt to portray the heart of the Avengers, and do just that.
It was a crazy process and made fans nuts, but all in all, I say job well done once again Marvel!

I for one am thrilled. Evans is a great actor who deserved a starring role, and certainly better than those forgettable F4 movies. As far as his being Torch (one of the few bright spots of those films) the general public barely remembers those movies as it is now, so come time for Caps release they'll be nearly completely forgotten. I'm a big Evans fan and am excited for him!
I don't like Evans but I'll give him a chance to prove himself. Plus it is really too early to tell if he's going to be good or bad as Captain America.
