Earlier today over at The Hollywood Reporter it was reported that Channing Tatum has been added to the growing list of actors being considered to play Steve Rogers in the Captain America Movie. As of now now he has only been approached and has yet to see a script.
It is also rumored that Keira Knightley has been approached to play Captain America’s love interest, Betsy Ross. However she isn’t the only actress being considered for the role.
UPDATE: Swank here. I just want to say that I’m not exactly keen on either of these choices and I don’t really think anyone is. These are just more names that are being thrown out. And so many are being thrown out there so quickly, I’ve decided not to worry at all until an actual announcement is made. Though I’ve heard from Jerk-Bot, a source on deep background, that the reason they’re having so many actors read for the part is because no one likes the script and the pay and commitment isn’t that worth it.
So, we’ll see what’s up.
UPDATE 2: Jerk Bot informs me that the Hollywood Reporter failed to mention that Twilight’s Kellan Lutz tested for the part as well.
UPDATE 3: HitFix is reporting that Ryan Phillipe is up for the part now, too. I think we should revise this method of reporting news and only report when someone ISN’T up for the part.
