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?

Well, if it was Gail, and they went with the Ults origin, it would fit quite well - they've known each for years, so no time wasted on getting-to-know you, and they write to each other. However, that does mean she's not on-screen much. (Also I don't see how she could be British, so probably not Gail.)

Although Gail as his girl back home and then Keira or whoever as Spitfire and not a romantic interest would be very cool!

That would be cool.
