Yesterday Fox 411 reported that The Office’s John Krasinski was all but a virtual lock for the role of Captain America. Today, it seems that they have no idea what they are talking about. It also seems that not only is Krasinski not the main choice for the role now, but that he might be [...]
Since production on the film starts in a couple months, Marvel is narrowing down its choices for the title role in the Captain America film. You’ll be surprised at who people are reporting are testing for the roll. Which of these lucky men are going to play the All American Hero, Steve Rogers?

MTV has a new Wolverine Origin’s Trailer
