From Hancock to Captain America?

UPDATE ! Aint it Cool News has received confirmation that Will Smith is NOT under consideration to play Steve Rogers in “Captain America”.

I hope this is as false as Pammy’s tits.

Will Smith is rumoured to be the frontrunner to wear the country’s colours as Marvel superhero Captain America.

Actor Derek Luke (“Miracle at St. Anna”, “Friday Night Lights”) let slip the news to MTV. “I heard they offered Will Smith ‘Captain America,'” said Luke, adding that the casting rumor “just shows you how times have changed.”

I don’t want to play the colour card here… but it has to be said that Marvel really does need to cast someone a little closer to the comic look of the legendary hero.. otherwise it ain’t Captain America, it’s just some other chap in the same garb. I know they were talking about Brad Pitt there for a while – he would be a much better choice in retrospect.

Robert Downey looked like Tony Stark from the comics. Will Smith looks, er, nothing like Steve Rogers. Please let this to be a Chinese whisper that’s gotten outta hand.
