This is way to cool! I grew up with Mike in elementary and jr high and high school. He’s a great guy. I remember he when he didn’t even look like that. Wow! I think it will be cool if he is capt. I missed his movies and I never watched gladiators, I just forgotten all about him and high school now its sweet to know that he’s gotten that far. Way to go mike! Remember back in the days as a Rebel! Come and visit us sometime.

He’s gotta be a Billy Bad Ass to play Conan. I don’t see that with this guy.

u have got to be kidding me, this is like Fabio in stars and stripes with a shield.. no way!..
and as for Conan, i think Triple H would be grrrrreat, he has the look, but the acting might need some sprucing up.. i heard a rumor Triple H was also being considered for the role of Thor..

to be conan you need a big guy, to really be cap you need to be big, eckhart hasn’t got the look or build, though i think danny devito was born to play modok.

It’s nice for the guy to dream, but there’s no way he’s getting the Cap role.

As for him as Conan? ::shrug:: Could work! The first movie was brilliant. If they decided to go the Millius route and not try to over-crowd the plot, the sad (but, in this case, oddly acceptable) fact is that it doesn’t matter how good of an actor they have playing Conan. He just has to look the role and manage to be convincingly stoic. (Though, I’ll always argue that in Conan and T2, Arnie was actually good, instead of just downplaying how bad he was).

I’ll reserve judgement on that one.

And, not to support the idea of this guy being able to play Cap, but fact is, for all the bad actors that we see in daytime soaps, they’ve also given us actors like George Clooney and Nathan Fillion. Everybody’s gotta cut their teeth somewhere.

guess this wont be brubaker’s capt.

and yeah, he does look the part…..i just don’t see how a captain america movie will go over….never was a very interesting character to me until the winter soldier era.

What in Sam Hill?! Eckhart expressed interest in Captain America. Why the hell go for a mimbo?!

I thought you were being serious! Yeah this is very bad. Conan might work but I am dissapointed. No way does he get the green light for Caps. Don’t even sweat it.

Sorry, I forgot to include some more sarcasm, so that it would be evident to other readers that I thought Superman’s casting was dumb

Well, I seem to recall another soap opera actor being cast to play a certain Superman…

Maybe… just maybe this will work

Sigh. You’d think they’ve learned something after all the amazing success of BATMAN BEGINS and THE DARK KNIGHT.

Intelligent, truly experienced actors can play superheroes to great success. Why go for superficial resemblances?
