Who Should Get to Carry The Captain America Shield

Here's the deal, as most people know, Iron man was released earlier this month and it broke box office records. Yeah, I know they say that about pretty much every movie now a days, but it's true. Iron Man is also the first Marvel movie released that was made by Marvel's own studio, called of course, Marvel Studios. With Iron Man doing great and The Incredible Hulk do up this summer. It didn't take Marvel long to announce some of their future projects. Marvel announced Iron Man 2 and Thor for 2010, followed by Captain America and The Avengers in 2011. Like most Marvel fans, I was super excited to hear about this. Also like most Marvel fans, I wanted to know who they would cast for these movies. Of course Robert Downey Jr. is reprising his role as Tony Stark, but who will fill in the other roles? Of course I have my own ideas of who they can use. I can probably think of somebody for each Marvel hero, but there's only one hero I believe has a perfect match. That hero being Captain America.
Without a doubt, Captain America is one of the best superheroes in comic book history. Time after time, against all odds he has come out on top. If you don't know his story, here's a quick recap. Steve Rogers was born on July 4, 1917 in New Your City. In the early days of World War II, Rogers tried to enlist in the army, only to be rejected due to his tall but scrawny physic. All Rogers ever wanted to do was to serve his country. An Army officer saw this and offered Rogers the chance to serve his country by taking part in a top-secret defense project. The project was called Operation: Rebirth, which hoped to develop a means of creating super soldiers. Rogers took the offer and became one of the test subjects. After trial and error, Rogers became the first successful test subject. His strength, endurance, agility, speed, reflexes, and durability were taken to the highest limits of natural human potential. Steve Rogers was transformed from a frail young man to an almost "perfect" specimen. But this triumph was followed by tragedy when the doctor who created the super soldier serum was shot and killed by a Nazi spy. After seeing the doctor die right in front of him, Rogers vowed to oppose all Americas enemies. He was then given a uniform model after the American flag, an impenetrable shield and a code name: Captain America. With the help of his sidekick, James "Bucky" Barnes, Captain America when on to help the Allied forces against the Red Skull and the Nazis.
Together they won many of battles, but that would soon come to an end. While trying to defuse a bomb on a plane, Bucky was blown up and and believe dead. Captain America who was near by was launched into the cold Atlantic waters. Both bodies were never found, until decades later when the Avengers discovered Captain America's body frozen in a block of ice. The same serum that made him a super soldier also kept him alive. After he was revived, he was shocked to find out that he had been frozen in time for so long. While trying to re-adjust to this new world he was in, he realized there was still evil in the world. With his great combat and tactical knowledge, he soon became the leader of the Avengers. He picked up right where he had left off, only now he was fighting a new kind of evil.
So now that you know the history behind the legend, who do you think should play the man behind the mask? To me, there is one actor who I think was made for the part. That actor being Brendan Fraser. To be honest, I never of thought of him for the part until my friend Nadia brought it up. But once she did, it all made sense. Even though Fraser has done some cheesy movies in the past, he has also done some movies that I believe have been preparing him for this role, like The Mummy movies. He plays the kind of old school hero, has a pretty good build and knows how to fight. Not to mention that these movies take place in the 1920s and 30s. The same time period Steve Rogers grew up in. Which would help him relate to how things were back then. That brings me to my next movie, Blast From The Past. In this movie, Fraser play a guy who's parents decide to build and then live in a bomb shelter during the Cuban missile crisis. Not knowing that the nuclear war never happens, they lived and raised their son in the shelter for 35 years. At which time, Fraser leaves the shelter to a whole new world. Come on, it's like they stole the idea of Captain America and turned it into a comedy. In the movie, Fraser is still old fashion since that's the way he was brought up. Steve Rogers is the same way in the comics. I'm telling you, he was made for the part. Right down to that old fashion square face he has. They just don't make them like that anymore ha ha. Well those are some of the reasons why I think Brendan Fraser should play Captain America. You don't have to agree with me, but I wouldn't mind. Oh, and one last thing. Brendan Fraser is rumored to be playing Gung-Ho in the upcoming G.I. Joe movie. If it's true, that's just another role that would prepare him for this part.
