Scoop: Captain America May Be Matthew McConaughey
www.cinemablend.com - 6th May 2008
Matthew McConaughey: After their big announcement Monday, we now know that Marvel Studios is planning to resurrect Captain America. His first movie isn't slated for release until May 6th of 2011, but according to our sources they're already looking for a potential leading man.
One of our long time scoopers dropped us a message tonight to let me know that
Matthew McConaughey may be one of Marvel's leading candidates to slip into Cap's red white and blue underpants. Our source is a reliable one, but at this point it's still very early and he's only one of the actor's they are considering for the role.
Physically I can understand why they'd want him.
McConaughey has the build of an all-American beefcake type, which is exactly what Captain America is. Aside from his appearance though, he'd be a strange choice. Though he's made a lot of movies, there's still been no real evidence that
Matthew can really act. Aside from his questionable acting ability, there's also his public persona as a rarely bathed, pot smoking slacker. The
McConaughey we've all come to know embodies just about everything that Captain America isn't.
Though maybe that's not a bad thing. In the early days Captain America was basically government propaganda. A rah rah, flag waver meant to get everyone excited about killing Nazis. Maybe moving a little bit away from that straight-laced, uber-patriot persona wouldn't be a bad thing, since as he's traditionally thought of Captain America is kind of a bore.
