Michelle McGee's Ex-Husband Speaks!





Good for him! He's a great actor and an even nicer person.
Who the fuck is Chris Evans?
No way! He's the Human Torch (Fantastic Four)! In The Avengers (a movie promised to be made), the Fantastic Four and Captain America meet… HOW IS THE HUMAN TORCH AND CAPTAIN AMERICA SUPPOSED TO MEET IF THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON?!?! It's kinda upsetting, especially to the geek / comic-reading public.
Yay! Will def see it now
He is too pretty to be Captain America! Not handsome or manly enough. He could bring in ages 16-23, but cross out the men and the baby boomers. They are going to need some Avatar special effects to bring in a crowd.
If does not make the next years summer blockbuster rounds…there might be problems.
That's rad, but didn't he the rold of Johnny Storm in the Fantastic Four and now he's Steve Rogers? Are they going to CG Johnny Storm in the Avengers movie?
JOHN KRASINSKI!?
lameeee.
Chris Evans….blue tights… yum.
this movie really sounds like it's going to suck
He's way too young. Cap is supposed to be the patriarch of the Avengers, and when it happens, the timelines will be out of sync. The movie will have to focus on the early years, as the character was seemingly around 40 -45 in the comics.
I'd have preferred John K!
Hmmm….isn't already a superhero?? I was hoping for Kellan Lutz.
an orgasmic YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
HE IS GORGEOUS to look at
im so there
Well-cast. I love him and his brother.
Yawn Yawn another movie to avoid. Who the hell wants to be see a grown man dress up in tight wearing the American flag……it sounds so corny to watch. Captain America last came out and went straight to DVD…lets hope his one follow the footstep…worst Marvel Comic character ever.
I was rooting for John K… but he's still hot, and I'll probably still see the movie!
The guy who played Mr. Fantastic should have gotten the part. He's older. But only after reading your comments. I don't really know K.A. But Chris Looks like a super hero. I mean look at that face. kittyannemarie awww maybe he'll play both. It can be done with movie magic.
stupid. i had such high hopes..
Would have preferred John Krasinski! He never got a chance being a superhero and has a lot of potential as an actor!
Great choice he fits the part!
Re: NM8 –
John might be a good actor but he looks nothing like a superhero! He does not fit the part at all!
DAMN! what happened to John Krazinski??? I would've preferred to see him play the role
Must a got him real cheap. Who the hell is he? A sure fire flop in the making.
Yay!! Finally a man that looks like super hero! The face… THE BODY….Everything a girl looks for in a hero…..
Chris Evans…blue tights…hmmm any color tights…YUM!
Yes he is hot-what a difficult decision but a great one
who? has this guy ever been in anything worth seeing, I've never heard of him? He doesn't look very Captain Americay to me.
Re: kittyannemarie –
'Cos the Fantastic Four are being rebooted and new actors will be casted. Chris Evans lost a job… and got a new job, good for him… and who ever said teh Fantastic Four show up in The Avengers. It's not possible. The right of teh Fantastic Four are with Fox and The Avengers are being made by Disney/Marvel.
yessssss!!!!! he's so sexy! I love John Krasinski too, but he should be in comedies, and I'm SO glad it's not Ryan Phillippe
Depends on if there is a shirtless scene or not. If not….then no.
I should have expected stupidity from the perez Hilton blog over this. First the avengers and ff hardly ever meet pick up a comic will ya. Second they are rebooting ff meaning a new Johnny storm. Third marvel/Disney owns the movie rights to cap and the avengers while 20th century fox owns the movie rights to ff so no crossover anytime like ever. Fourth to those saying Evans is to young and cap was in his 40s umm pick up a comic cap was in his 20s during WWII he'll even his obituary from when he died had him born in 1920something when he was revived comic time and actual time don't always mesh up. So Chris Evans for captain America good choice he just needs longer hair and he perfect
Chris Evans is sorta perfect for the role. He's certainly got the build for it, hopefully he can act above his usual sarcasm. Oh and FYI Fantastic Four is being rebooted so he wont be in it and the f four most likely not going to appear in the avengers that would be dumb. Also anyone who is saying he doesn't meet the age requirements for steve rogers aka Captain America should do some research, he was around the age of 23 when he decided to join the fight and rejected only later to be offered to be the human test subject for the super soldier serum that makes him captain america. If he was in his 40's then the war would've been over.
this info was out a couple days ago.
slow ass.
anyways makin him captian americas..screws any chance of thier being an avengers movie.
HE is already in the Fantastic Four as the Human Torch! WTF????
Yes, happy. The dude is hot!
Spindoc says –

^ I'm with you. How about he play the role wearing nothing but white athletic socks and boxers? Or a Jock strap and white athletic socks?
OK, don't get me wrong, Chris Evans is sick HOT but not right for this role: too young. The creators/writers of the comic wanted John Jon Hamm from Mad Med for the role because of his looks and age. I agree. He would have been perfect for the role but, like always, youth prevails. Color me NOT surprised. BTW: Fantastic Four is DONE. At least with the existing cast. So Evans has no obligation to do another one.
AWFUL CASTING and pure lazyness for recycling a marvel actor. I will
not see this or the other 9 movies they got him in because Hollywood
hates comic book fans and do not respect the characters they love.
And would they need to reboot the Fantastic 4 franchise if it was
actually good??? NO they wouldn't, it sucked. So why cast someone who
was responsible with the destruction of one franchise to take part in
another, none the least 9 more movies. Wake me up in 2025 when they
reboot the franchise again because this one sucked. MARK VALLEY FOR
CAPTAIN AMERICA DANGIT!!!!
This BLOWS! John Krasinski would have been awesome! John needs a big role like this to show his stuff. Plus Chris Evan already sucked in Fantastic Four as the Human Torch so WHY WHY WHY would they think he'd be a good Captain America?! This is probably the worst decision that has ever been made regarding casting superheroes. BLEGH!
The only Chris Evans I know is a DJ in England so who is this one?
Laaame! He's a cool actor, but not for this.. Definately not going to watch this movie.
I Wanted John K.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's so freakin hot… hope there are naked scenes…
NOOOOOO!!!! john krasinki would have been so much better!
great casting! i adore john krasinski as much as the next girl but he's just not a superhero. considering how many actors were up for this part, and how many screen tested, chris evans must have done something really well, so i think he's gonna rock. if you want proof of his awesomeness, watch danny boyle's sunshine. i agree that the fantastic four movies weren't, but its absurd to blame a bad movie on one actor - it ultimately comes down to the director and the producers to make the final decisions about how to make a good film, so don't judge him based on those movies.
the Human Torch AND Captain America…? I don't like it…
YEAH! He's smokin!
Re: kittyannemarie – That movie will never happen, and if it does it won't be with the Fantastic Four cast from those movies.
NO. I vote to take him out and put CHRIS PINE back innnn!
Congratulations Chris! Keep the CE news coming Perez.
bring on the spandex!!!
I honestly have never heard of him. What else has done? Has he portrayed anyone else?
Re: kittyannemarie – I agree! Looks like there will never be "The Avengers: The Movie"
Re: deeonfire77 – Re: jeanmarie – Re: **LindseyLou** – Re: izelli – I agree. John K would've been a better choice. Chris Evans is the Human Torch. He can't be Captain America as well.
Not bad, but it so should have gone to Jensen Ackles. Now that man can act!!
Re: ONIT – Good cause Jessica Alba did terrible, as usual. So untalented.
Re: Depeche908 – He's too much of a pretty boy and not rough or muscular or tough enough to be Captain America. But to echo Depeche908's sentiments, I just can't get enough of Chris Evans in superhero spandex, and I'll be his personal jesus on my knees any day!
