Who Will Wield The Shield?
Director Joe Johnston's wishlist is out for his upcoming Captain America flick. The stars are mostly television up-and-comers, which comes as no surprise after seeing Kenneth Branagh's virtually-unknown choice for Thor. Whoever gets chosen to play the blue-eyed Steve Rogers, it's also important that they keep some clearance for Marvel's other film projects, as they'll be expected to lead in the upcoming Avengers film and cameo in Avengers-affiliated movies. Be sure to leave your opinion in the poll and hit the jump to better know your options.
Chance Crawford
You read that right. Maybe he's taking a page out of Gossip Girl co-star's Blake Lively's book (Who'll be playing Carol Ferris in Green Lantern). He'll be starring in the upcoming Footloose remake as well, so who knows, he could just be trying to escape the Tiger Beat centerfold typecasting.
John Krasinski
Crawford and Jim-from-The-Office are the blog favorites, but most fans have expressed their qualms with his potential casting, either because he's too familiar from his sitcom role, or that he just doesn't meet the rugged-factor required for the Captain. Well, there's always a chance for Bucky in the sequel, Jim.
Scott Porter
The muscles and the Friday Night Lights work scream full-bodied..er, full-blooded American, but he's also got the nerd appeal by appearing on Caprica and admitting to collecting Heroclix.
Mike Vogel
Best known for his role in Cloverfield, his career has only yet begun as he's taking up more big-name movies like the soon-to-come She's Out of My League. Oh, and did I mention he's a former Levi's model?
Michael Cassidy
Likely considered for his minor role in Smallvile, you should really check out his work on the short gay film Dare if you're doubting his acting chops.
Patrick Flueger
Better known for his work on The 4400, I can't say i know this guy too well, so I'll just let the photo speak for itself.

HeroClix win it for me. They're all pretty, but they're also all pretty white bread for my tastes.
A few of them just seem to pretty for this sort of role. Chance Crawford looks like a knock off Ashton Kutcher, and Michael Cassidy just doesn't look manly enough. Though I did cast my vote for Scott Porter, Mike Vogel certainly does have a kind of ruggedness to him. I wouldn't mind seeing either of them in the lead.
