So, now McConaughey WANTS to be Captain America?
Many of you will remember back when Matthew McConaughey was being touted as the shoe-in for the role of Captain America in the coming movie from Marvel, but the reality is that the rumors never ceased for this role.
The difference at the time was that McConaughey showed very little, if any, interest in the role. Of course, it’s not really his genre of expertise. Now, on the other hand, McConaughey is apparently having a change of heart and the idea is growing on him.
McConaughey told MTV that “it would be fun” in response to being asked about landing the role of Steve Rogers, aka Captain America. Better yet, Jennifer Garner chimed in as well…
“You would be a great Captain America,†Garner told McConaughey during a recent press event. “You could wear a cape and tights and little pointy shoes.â€
Funny! Someone hasn’t been reading their comic books, eh? Then again, this isn’t nearly as funny as some of the other rumored casting choices that include Channing Tatum and John Cena.

Not totally against it.
i’ve heard from multiple sources that ben mckenzie,t.v.’s southland & the o.c., johnny get youur gun & junebug , has been approached to play steve rogers/captian america. also that marvler is really trying to bring in a younger star that is more a “everyman” than some over paid hollywood type. just what i’ve heard, nothing against matt but personally he should stick to romantic comedies.
I agree with jazzbass81
