“Captain America: The First Avenger” is a movie I’ve waited forever to see. I would check to see when production was starting every now and then and I would check the cast list. The Captain America movie will feature Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Tommy Lee Jones (Col. Chester Phillips) and Chris Evans (Captain America). Some of you may remember Chris Evans seeing as how he was The Human Torch from “The Fantastic Four”.

For some reason, director Joe Johnston thought, “Hey, you know who would play a good Captain America? The same guy who played The Human Torch.” Why would you want to have an actor who not only has played a different superhero, but also one from the same universe to be Captain America?

The Human Torch being Captain America is comparable to Christian Bale playing Aqua Man, or Tobey Maguire playing Dr. Strange. If you are a true marvel fan you’ll understand what I’m talking about. In the original Marvel comics, Captain America and The Human Torch not only fight each other but they also team up quite a few times. I’m amazed that Stan Lee, the creator of Marvel, has not done anything. He doesn’t have the authority to change the actor but he can at least tell the director to do something about it.

I was in love with the idea of this movie, but now I hate even the thought of this movie. This complication has ruined this movie for me. The casters had such a wide selection of people they could have picked from, for instance: Gerard Butler, Jason Statham, Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, Mark Whalberg, Chris Pine or Eric Bana. Anyone besides Chris Evans would be a better choice. Now, I like Chris Evans and I’m not saying he is a bad actor, but I am trying to say that one person should not play multiple superheros. It’s wrong. Some people will probaly have no problem with it and that is fine, but this has completely changed the way I view this movie.
