Captain America May Be Matthew McConaughey!!!!!!



My head just went kablooey: Matthew McConaughey is being considered for the role of Captain America:

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 actors they are considering for the role.

Other bloggers don't seem terribly happy about this development citing Matthew's apparent lack of acting ability. I've always enjoyed looking at him so much that I confess that I've never really noticed whether he can actually act or not - and I've never expected Oscar-caliber performances in any superhero movie anyway, so I personally think this is and excellent casting choice for Steve Rogers. Plus it means we'll get even more candid shots of Matthew working out shirtless as he prepares for the spandex Cap outfit. WIN-WIN!
