Rumour has it that Fantastic Four's Chris Evans (Johnny Storm) has been offered the lead in Marvel's forthcoming movie version of Captain America, despite never auditioning for the role.If the deal goes through, Chris could potentially star in up to three America movies plus The Avengers franchise, as well as appearances in several other related comic book series'.
The actor already has a relationship with Marvel due to his involvement in the Fantastic Four franchise. There is some question as to whether fans would accept an actor who played a Marvel superhero just a few years ago, but given that the movies were not well embraced, with no one faulting the actors, he might have a clean slate with fans as Captain America.
Chris also appears in the DC Comics adaptation The Losers and Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Edgar Wright's adaptation of the Oni Press graphic novel series. Furthering the superhero connection, he also starred in the poorly received sci fi teen flick Push.
Marvel has not confirmed the development, and Creative Artists Agency, which represents the actor, have so far declined to comment.
