Marvel Studios Press Release Confirms Captain America Casting

Below is the full press release found on Marvel's website that confirm the casting of both Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan in the upcoming The First Avenger: Captain America movie.

Marvel Studios has officially confirmed that Chris Evans will star as Captain America and Sebastian Stan will portray Cap's sidekick Bucky in the studio's highly anticipated movie "The First Avenger: Captain America," directed by Joe Johnston from a script penned by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely.

Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige will produce "The First Avenger: Captain America." Alan Fine, Stan Lee, David Maisel, Stratton Leopold and Louis D'Esposito will executive produce. The film will be released in the US on July 22, 2011 and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

"The First Avenger: Captain America" will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America.

Chris Evans will next star in Sylvain White's "The Losers." He will also star in Edgar Wright's "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World." He recently wrapped production on "Puncture" and he will soon start production on "What's Your Number." Evans' previous credits include starring as Johnny Storm in the "Fantastic Four" films, Danny Boyle's "Sunshine" and David Ayer's "Street Kings."

Sebastian Stan can currently be seen in "Hot Tub Time Machine," and will appear in "The Apparition" as well as Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan," both slated for 2010. His previous credits include roles on the NBC drama "Kings" and CW's "Gossip Girl."

Stay tuned to Marvel.com for the official word on all things to do with "The First Avenger: Captain America" and all Marvel movies! [Marvel]

I'm surprised that Marvel chose to keep the sidekick since this avenue has proven detrimental before in the case of the Batman movies (before Chris Nolan took up the franchise). I hope it wont turn out to be too syrupy or corny.

While I like Chris Evans and find him well-suited for the role of Steve Rogers/Captain America, however I don't know Sebastian Stan all that well so I can't say anything about his casting.

Here's hoping the movie will be great.

Chris Evans IS Officially Captain America!!

After months of speculations and searches, it seems that the studios have settled their caps at Chris Evans to play the role of Captain America in the upcoming movie The First Avenger: Captain America

It had already been reported last friday that the role had been offered to the actor but that he had previous movie commitments that stopped him from accepting the role right away.

It now seems that things moved swiftly over the weekend and that all that remains is signing the deal.

Chris is no stranger to the role of Marvel superhero since he played Johnny Storm, A.K.A the Human Torch in the two Fantastic Four movies.

Though I had hoped to either see Supernatural's Jensen Ackles or Chuck's own Captain Awesome, actor Ryan McPartlin, in the role of Steve Rogers, I am perfectly comfortable with the idea of seeing Evans play The First Avenger. As of now Marvel Studios has not let us down.

What do you guys think of that casting decision? Is Chris Evans fit to wield ol' Captain's Shield?
