Ryan Phillippe In The Running For Captain America

Wait a minute. Another actor in the running for the lead in Captain America? Yes, it’s true; yet another name has been thrown into the mix as a potential candidate to wield the shield. We’ve already got Chris Evans, Garrett Hedland, Wilson Bethel, Mike Vogel and now, none other than Ryan Phillippe.
While at SXSW, Phillippe told MTV, "[I] actually am going in to meet on Captain America, which is kind of cool.” Maybe it’s cool for you, but it’s not cool for all of us who now have even more to sort through until the role is officially cast. Well, actually, it is kind of cool. Phillippe could make a fantastic superhero.
He rocks a military uniform in the upcoming action comedy MacGruber, so why not give Captain America’s suit a shot? Phillippe has never really done anything to suggest he’s capable of playing a superhero, but certainly has the resume to prove he can pull it off. However, I’m still partial to Vogel. I really want the guy to get his big break. I’m not a soap opera fan so don’t know much about Bethel (The Young and the Restless) and Evans already has a super hero (The Human Torch from Fantastic Four). As for Hedlund, he’s my second pick, but that could change after the release of Tron Legacy. I guess that’d put Phillippe at #3.
