I'm still not sold on the idea, I can't get the Human Torch out of my head. -
Watch 'Street Kings' (the Keanu Reeves movie). It will help get the idea of Johnny Storm out of your head.Originally posted by Replicator Todd View Post

I'm not sure I am too happy with Weaving. He's already doing Megatron, he's already fantastically well known as Agent Smith, now Red Skull, I still think Christoph Waltz would have been the best choice.

Hugo Weaving, HELL YES! Excuse my language. I wuv Hugo Weaving. Fantastic in everything he does....moviewise.
For some reason I picture the music of this film to be very The Icredibles-like. Maybe its just a wish I have but I think it fits Captain America. But it will probably get some patriotic stuff......*sigh*Comment

Arnim Zola Cast in Captain America: The First Avenger
The Hollywood Reporter, who has been responsible for most of the major Captain America movie scoops to date, just reported that British actor Toby Jones is in final negotiations to portray the villainous scientist Arnim Zola in Captain America: The First Avenger.
For those of you unfamiliar with the character, Arnim Zola was a biochemist during World War II who became one of the first human genetic engineers in history. He found a ready home among the Nazi party, who saw his actions as the ability to ensure the existence of a master race. One of his first accomplishments was the creation of a brain pattern imprinting device, which would allow someone's mental essence to be projected into a cloned brain.
Zola's most noticeable feat, however, was performed upon himself. He has constructed a specially modified body which lacks a head. Instead, Zola's face is located - via holographic projection - on his chest, and atop his shoulders is an ESP Box, a psychotronic device which he uses to exert his control over his monster creations. In a limited effect, the Box can also be used as an offensive weapon. Whenever his current body is damaged, or utterly destroyed, Arnim is able to send his personality to another one stored elsewhere, thus giving himself a form of immortality.

Dominic Cooper Cast as Young Howard Stark in Captain America
Salon.com recently interviewed Dominic Cooper while the actor was attending Cannes to promote his film Tamara Drewe. Cooper revealed to them that he is "slated to play Howard Stark (aka, Iron Man's father) in the upcoming 'Captain America.'"
That makes three different men that will end up collaborating to bring the once war mongering, turned world saving, industrialist to life on the silver screen. Though the past two times Stark Senior appeared may have been brief, Cooper's time on film will definitely show his importance to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
According to dialogue from Iron Man 2, Howard Stark was not only a wealthy man who wanted to change the world, but a founding member of the clandestine government agency S.H.I.E.L.D. It's also very safe to assume that Stark will have a hand in the Super Soldier Program, which birthed the film's title character, Captain America.

Tommy Lee Jones confirmed for Captain America! (But as what?)
Actress Hayley Atwell has confirmed that Oscar winner Tommy Lee Jones will appear in Captain America: The First Avenger. Atwell, who plays Cap's World War II squeeze Peggy Carter in the movie, spilled the beans about Jones in a London video interview with ComicBookMovie.com. Jones joins a cast that already includes Chris Evans in the title role, Sebastian Stan as sidekick Bucky Barnes and Hugo Weaving as nemesis Red Skull, along with Atwell and Samuel L. Jackson.
As for who Jones will be playing, most of the speculation has centered around Gen. Chester Phillips, the military man who, in the Marvel mythology, selects the skinny but patriotic Steve Rogers for the super-soldier experiment that turns the army reject into the legendary superhero and future leader of the Avengers. The hard-nosed Phillips acts as sort of a mentor and commander for Rogers, a role that seems perfectly suited for Jones' overall tough-guy demeanor.
