Well considering this is our first poll with only a total of 11 votes :0(.
The results are as follows on our newly created blog:
Matt Damon 63% 7 votes
Leonardo DiCaprio 27% 3 votes
Clive Owen 9% 1 vote
Daniel Craig 0% 0 votes
Although a dissappointing number of votes which really cannot draw us to any positive conclusion at such a time but to raise awareness to the question, it is interesting to see that Matt Damon got a majority here. Daniel Craig has not even been considered for the role and was just placed here as an odd choice, playing James Bond would probably not allow him to be considered for the part but would have been interesting to see if any thought would have been made for him had he not been playing James Bond. In my opinion he could have been a good choice because of his rugged looks and blonde features suitable enough for the Steve Rogers aka.
On trawling the internet recently I discovered that Will Smith had been contacted as an interest for the role and that was even before Barack Obama had won the U.S. Elections early November. Though in Marvel's Ultimate Series Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been turned into an African American character and also appears after the credits in this year's Iron Man movie played by Samuel L. Jackson. Another actor who has been contacted also is Doctor Who/Torchwood star John Barrowman who at the San Diego Comic-Con in July this year ended up admitting there had been discussions with his agents and meetings on the possibility of him playing the star spangled hero. Clive Owen another consideration, though some fan reaction to this is "They're making a Captain America movie, not Captain Britain !". Leonardo DiCaprio was placed here because that it Marvel's personal choice to play Captain America, though he has second choice here in the poll Marvel's second choice for the role of the patriotic super-soldier is said to be Brad Pitt. So no conclusion, we'll raise this question again in a future poll !
