Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 5th April 2010

[valtyr]

Happy Easter, all who celebrate it! This week someone decided to tell cap_ironman they loved us, and we are always at home to gratuitous flattery, so thank you very much. :)

Last week we got a Cap and this week we got a Bucky. But rumour has it Emily Blunt has turned down the role of Cap's girlfriend, which is likely to be Peggy Carter, although could still be Golden Girl. (Not that I'm partial to Golden Girl or anything. I'm just putting it out there. Forlornly.) The article says they're also considering Keira Knightley or Alice Eve for the role; something all these women have in common is that they're British, which suggests that Cap's WWII girlfriend will be British. Which does make sense, considering there were a lot more British women than America out in the combat zones of WWII. It also suggests they might drop the close relationship between Sharon and Peggy, which would make Cap seem a little less, uh... well... creepy. What do you think?

Cap Might Not Lead The Avengers!

My friend just sent me this clip of Chris Evans discussing Captain America and The Avengers.

--> Watch It Here! (Because It Won't Embed!)

"I don't know if they're going to make him the boss," Evans said of Cap's role in "The Avengers." He added, "His character... He's a good guy."

"Does he [run the show]?" asked Evans. "I don't think anybody tells Downey what to do, and that's what makes [him] Downey."

Can. Stop. Laughing. I don't know if I'm laughing because Evans' comments are comforting (a.k.a. the fact that Robert and Tony are In Charge of the Avengers and the movies' fate) or so so so sad (a.k.a. DUDE, HE'S CAP, OF COURSE HE'S IN CHARGE, EVEN IF YOU'RE BOSSING AROUND ROBBERT!TONY).

Either way: Hilarious.
