Closing out the story he broke last Friday, THR's Boris Kit is reporting that Chris Evans has accepted the role of Captain America. Says Kit, "The dealmaking moved so fast it's now all about dotting the i's and crossing the t's."
As I said last week, I think they've 100% got the right man for the job (please see Danny Boyle's SUNSHINE if you doubt his acting ability). Now it's up to Marvel and director Joe Johnston to knock this sucker out of the park.
Principal photography is expected to begin soon on THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA. The film is currently scheduled to be released on July 22nd, 2011. That gives them plenty of time to find the perfect Bucky.
