Call Your Agent, Ryan Reynolds

Marvel has chosen director Joe Johnston (Hidalgo) to helm The First Avenger: Captain America, which is due out on May 6, 2011.

Johnston, who directed next year’s The Wolfman, will be in charge of turning Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America, from an unfit military man into a super-powered crime fighter.

There hasn’t been an announcement regarding who Marvel is intending to cast as Captain America, but it better hop to it if it intends to have its superhero-coalition movie The Avengers in production simultaneously, since the character is set to make a crucial appearance in it.

So, I nominate Ryan Reynolds to don the stars and stripes.


Sure, Reynolds is Canadian, but you gotta admit he’s got the look. Clearly. Plus, it’s about darn time Hollywood made a star out of him.

And, heck – if Texas girl RenĂ©e Zellweger can play Brit icon Bridget Jones….

He could read the phone book (naked) and I'd still watch.
