(http://s282.photobucket.com/albums/kk248/voktyabreh/?action=view¤t=375bondivet_chrisbrown_090203111137.jpg) See this guy? This is who Cap's always gonna look like in my head. It's a pity Dr Chris Brown is a vet and not an actor *sigh* 8(
On a more serious note, Derek Theler looks right for the part, to me at any rate. Strong jawline, open face, well-built. He looks NICE but also like you wouldn't want to piss him off. No idea about his acting ability though.
Will Smith - casting him would be an interesting move and now that he's getting roles other than "smart-mouthed-black-guy" he's proven that he can act and play a pretty good sympathetic/strong/serious/etc character. I'm more worried about the likely wank and race!fail coming from the audience/fandom if he's cast, than I am about Smith's ability to play a convincing Cap. I imagine if he was cast we'd get something more along the lines of a combined Isaiah Bradley/Steve Rogers character, than a straight up 616-based Cap-but-black.
Honestly, I'm more inclined towards an unknown/less well-known actor, so Damon, Pitt and DiCaprio are big "no"s for me.
About John Barrowman, I mean, he has the build for it and everything but...I dunno there. Not sure I could picture Jensen Ackles as the apple-pie eating All-American-Hero, but I've only seen him in Dark Angel and Supernatural anyway so...yeah. Bit unsure about those two.
The role needs someone who can pull off "nice guy/boy scout" switching with "big damn hero", and make it believable. Make Cap relatable and sympathetic, otherwise he might come off as unrealistic and "fake" to the audience. Unless they go for something more along the lines of Ultimate Cap. Which they better not. Or I will bitch throughout the whole movie and piss off everyone else in the cinema and ruin their movie-going experience. It all depends on what the filmakers actually want to do with this movie.
(Side note: Sam Worthington is like 5'9. Him and Anton Yelchin, who played Kyle Reese in Terminator: Salvation, are about the same height: http://www1.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Premiere+Warner+Bros+Terminator+Salvation+2hU5VrL3CF3l.jpg Christian Bale there is around 6')
Got a bit rant-y and lost my way
