March 16, 2010 (Pen Men at Work): New news is that Ryan Phillippe is the most recent actor being thought of to enact the heading character in the upcoming Captain America. This information sets straight the chitchat that John Krasinski of The Office had the character in the bag. It discredits the gossip that John having got the role was a sure thing. It also sets straight the gossip that Chris Evans, Chace Crawford and Scott Porter each had the character in his pocket. The laundry list of actors being sincerely measured for this part is becoming longer and longer as each day passes.

Reportedly, in keeping with the sources linked to Marvel Studios, Phillippe of late screen-tested for the character. The actor has not had a blockbuster film for an enormous amount of time. Therefore, bagging this appearance will, without doubt, assist him to conquer the tag of only being the male who was once in a matrimonial alliance with the immensely attractive Reese Witherspoon.

In all honesty, Phillippe has performed an efficient job in the past by opting for roles in engrossing films such as Breach, Flags of our Fathers and Gosford Park. But these motion pictures, by no means, actually extracted box-office traction. These films did not initiate his career into the critically appreciated and commercially workable young actor (Matt Damon, Ryan Gosling) field. This could absolutely alter that for him.

This most up-to-date act in the Captain America casting story tags along with the declaration last week that The Matrix’s Hugo Weaving has agreed to enact the character of the scoundrel in the film. His name is the Red Skull.
