There you have it. Though anything can still go wrong, The Hollywood Reporter has gone on the record saying that Chris Evans will don the winged helmet of Captain America in the film set to be released next year.

If it turns out that this works, I’ll be happy.

Evans is old enough to be able to age up to play the venerated hero we all know and love, but young enough to play down the age so he can be a skinny geek fresh from the draft.
