Why hasn’t he been offered the role? Why hasn’t it yet been announced? According to Fox’s source, the producers are having Krasinski read with multiple actresses up for the female leads, to ensure chemistry. According to the source, “They want to lock down the role and then they will narrow down everyone else.” When Krasinski was revealed on the short list a few weeks ago, fans were not happy with the choice, calling him too small and unmuscular for the role of the scientifically engineered super soldier.
“It’s very likely that he will be the new Captain America. He is a favorite among the key decision makers and has been asked to come back for more this week.”
Director Joe Johnson previously stated that casting needed to be complete by March 1st 2010 (a date that has now passed) as filming is set to begin at the end of June in the UK.
