Will Smith Is Not Captain America (Probably)
Ladies and gentlemen, you can put off the awkward self-examination of your racism for another day, as AICN talked to Marvel, and Marvel denies offering Smith the role of Captain America, or even talking to Smith. Shockingly, it may be true that Derek Luke—the actor we'd never heard of—is not the Hollywood know-it-all he might believe himself to be.

SuperRumors: Batman and Captain America…
No big surprise, but the rumors have really been flying lately around casting of some superheroes and villains alike. One of the most shocking, and easily the least likely, is that Marvel was considering Will Smith as Captain America.
