From Gladiator to Conan, Capt. America even?

So we’ve already been inundated with rumors as to who will sport the blue tighties and winged cowell with the red, white and blue shield of American justice… suggested actors have ranged from Brad Pitt to Dolph Lundgren, but current news suggests a much less predictable, but physically more appropriate Mike O’Hearn, who has most recently had TV exposure as  Titan with the “reboot” of ‘American Gladiators’.

The blog article, written by Peter Sciretta, can be read on /film.

It’s an interesting development, but I’m not so sure it’s even legit. In the blog article, Peter mentions as an update that they’re are some suspicious anomalies surrounding O’Hearns self-promoting of this bit of news. I think he’s probably  near the top of the list when it comes to how Captain America should look, but the big question is… Can he act?  Also touched on was that O’Hearn in somewhere in the process of being cast as the sword-wielding lead role on the ‘Conan’ reboot. Not as much a stretch, considering Ah-nold was cast  I the original… acting talent was not their priority. However, he’ll need to lose the whole blonde Greek God look for Conan… he is a barbarian, after all.
