Marvel Studios just announced that they were bringing The First
Avenger: Captain America into theatres May 6, 2011, and while that day
is far off, it hasn't stopped speculation about who would play the
star-spangled Avenger. According to Cinema Blend, Matthew McConaughey
may be one of the names at the top of the list - perhaps placed there
by the fact that the actor's name has often been at the top of fan
polls for their pick of who to play the character.

Physically, McConaughey fits the bill for the character perfectly.
He's blonde-haired, blue-eyed, square-jawed and buff. What makes this
a bit more uncertain is McConaughey's acting history and public
persona. The actor is known for being laid-back and, well, "dirty" -
hardly the embodiment of the American Dream that Cap is supposed to
be.

He's also too old by now.
They'll probably get a Brit...or an Aussie...or a Swede.

Or Zac Efron!

Too young. Someone like Jacob Young--J.R. of ABC's ALL MY CHILDREN--
would be more physIcally appropriate. Efron would be more suited to
play sidekick Bucky.

Um, yes:
Marvel's officially 86'ed the hired-out "tongue in cheek" version, and
THEIR Cap, like Iron Man 2, is now but one more strategic building
corporate cog in the future "Avengers movie" machine.
(Aka, "Soo, Warner, *still* trying to get that Justice League movie
going? <smug dance> Very Happy ")

....All we ask is that it's for a good cause.

Isn't he a stoner? Is that what they mean by "dirty"? I'm not aware
that he was ever involved in any kind of sex scandal. :p

I don't think so. Years ago, he allegedly played bongo drums in the
nude.

I'll take that to mean 'yes,' he is a stoner. Wink
