Looking at the numerous names listed as prospective Cap actors, I don't believe any of them fit the role, purely because they're too fresh and young to taken on a statesmanly role as this. They won't do justice to the role like an older actor would. We saw how Patrick Stewart, who did great as Captain Picard in Star Trek (TNG) in the past, made a good professor Xavier. Likewise, Lou Ferrigno as the voice of the Hulk was a refreshing choice. In the TMNT live-action movies, you had an actor providing the voice and another inside the costume doing all the stunts for the whole movie. On those lines, someone like William Shatner (all right, at 79, he's not got much on his side, but he has the presence) or Harrison Ford, or Dennis Quaid, or any other actor from way back, or even Reb and Matt, would do the role full justice. If they don't have the physique, they can render the voicework and dialogue-delivery, with a lot of help from stunt doubles and CGI figures (remember the digitally de-aged Xavier and Weapon XI from Origins?) in the final cut. After all, acting is everything, for this role, isn't it? Of the current actors, Mark Valley seems the best bet, but not quite appropriate. To sum it up, the best would be someone with action film experience and a lot of years behind him, wouldn't it?
