Chris Evans to Play Captain America?

Chris Evans has reportedly been offered the lead roll in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger, but Marvel has refused to comment on whether or not Evans will play the star spangled hero.

From The Hollywood Reporter:
“Evans' offer would include starring in up to three America movies plus The Avengers movies and appearances in several other Marvel movies. While an offer to star in America may seem like something you don't have to mull over too long, one possible complication is that Evans is committed to co-starring in the Anna Faris romantic comedy What's Your Number? Both are scheduled to shoot this summer.”

Evans played Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in both Fantastic Four movies, so he has a relationship with the guys at Marvel. While it might seem weird to have the same actor play two different heroes, studios haven’t balked at the idea. Ryan Reynolds portrayed Deadpool in last year’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine and will play the antihero in his own spin off film. Meanwhile, he’s currently filming The Green Lantern for DC.
