The obvious choice for cap is matt damon, now give me a second before you all get your panties in a bunch.
He is the only ALL American actor that fits the part, and the only actor of the necessary caliber that marvel has been shooting for (Norton = Hulk, Downey Jr. = Iron Man) And he looks great in period movies (Good Shepard, Same time Cap was developed) Wrestlers and Athletes might have the physique but hardly the charisma or talent to carry the role of the leading avenger. Damon has shown he can act, lead (carry a movie on his own), add humor, humanity,wit, and kickass a la Jason Bourne
