Lately, this board is full of 'Who can play Cap' and we're suggesting handsome actors to wrestling stars, but it's a few other things that make Cap great:
1: He must look good in that costume! Matt Salinger had a rubber suit that bunched up and bulged in certain areas, plus he was just tall and skinny; just made Cap look gawky than heroic.
2: He must run good! Cap charges into battles! What bothered me about Shaq in that Steel movie was his run looked like a lumbering oaf. Say what you want about that Reb Brown/Cap tv movies, but he did run great and heroic (Also the music helped). I saw John Cena on Raw, he doesn't look tall enough or physically fit to run heroic.
3: He must look great when throwing that cool shield! The only thing good about that 90s Cap movie, Matt Salinger looked good throwing that shield (he said that he spent time throwing frisbees in his teens).
4: The actor must have a presence, must believe in himself, must be confident, and orate convincingly! Cap believes in his words and speaches, so if the Actor just says his lines, just think of this as paycheck, believe Cap's a hokey out dated cliche comic book hero, it'll just ruin our 'suspension of belief' and acceptence of a live Captain America. Macguire worked for Spidey in the movies because we felt his pain and problems playing Peter Parker. So the actor must play and speak like a charismatic leader.
