So I was eating at Clucker's with some of my sergeants and a former sergeant of mine and his kid (Clucker's is a open flame chicken restaraunt in North Chicago, it's delish), and the former sergeant mentions something weird. Apparantly, he was under the impression that Agent Coulson in the Iron Man movies was going to be Captain America.
"Woah, wait, what?" I said, and he's like "Yeah, I'm not shitting you,", though, mind you, he didn't say it like that, per say, 'cause his son's sitting next to him eating french fries and the kid's like six.
So, I finish work in much agony (P90X is a tool from terrorists, if you ask me) and return to my really nice hotel room, and, after taking a hot shower for half an hour or so, I decide to look this up. IMDB, a site that, while not as addicting as TV Tropes, I can still get lost in for a while, helped me out here. Clark Gregg, the guy who plays the Agent, ISN'T going to be Steve Rogers, which I'm kinda glad for because first off, he's a cool guy, but he just doesn't look the part, and second, if Agent Coulson ISN'T actually Steve Rogers, then it would be weird to see him in the same movie as two entirely different people (he's not Peter Sellers, you know), or something.
Then I looked at who WAS playing Steve.
Chris Evans.
... I'm sorry, but what? This is pretty much a case of What The Hell Casting: not only is the guy ALREADY present in the Marvel Universe, but... Steve Rogers? The Marvel Boy Scout played by this guy? (Yes, I know I'm exagerrating that somewhat, but still) Okay, I mean, give the guy a shot, but he's not an experienced actor, and Casey Jones isn't all that similar to Steve... But hell, he might surprise me.
By the way, apparantly "Yet Another Teen Movie" is called "Sex Academy" in Europe. Huh.
Anyways, but some casting choices in the Captain America make me excited. Yanno, titillating, gives me goosebumps.
... I'm going to have that stuck in my head forever...
Anyways, so, Tommy Lee Jones. I have no idea who the hell the guy he's playing, but it's fucking Tommy Lee Jones. That's already making me excited about this movie. He's a great actor, even in meh movies (Batman Forever, I'm looking at you).
And guess what? Red Skull is in it. (Okay, whoever I explained my Captain America movie theory to, I think it was Mike, but it might've been Dave, I called it! I freakin' called it!) So, who do we have playing this guy...?
...
...?
...!
?!?!@!&$#$(#*?!!
Excuse me for a moment.
Okay, so, yeah. Chris Evans as Steve Rogers? Confusing, but willing to give it a shot. Other casting choices? Fuck yeah Seaking. They also have some guy named SebastianShaw Stan, who I've never heard of, playing Bucky, which works out perfectly. Kind of the same boat as the Thor movie, which has Anthony Fucking Hopkins playing Odin, which is utterly awesome, if unexpected, and some guy I've never heard of playing Loki, who might work because his IMDB photo is utterly creepy.
Oh, and Eliza Dushku is rumored to be playing Scarlet Witch. There's got to be some sort of irony there.
Okay, so, to wrap this up, here was the point I was trying to make at the beginning: I'm hungry. I'm gonna go make me a sandwich.
