"The Office" star reportedly is the frontrunner
UPDATE: Fox 411 is reportedly incorrect about this. See an update here.
Fox 411 is reporting that John Krasinski is getting closer and closer to landing the title role in Marvel Studios' The First Avenger: Captain America. According to the site, "The Office" star has appeared in front of producers repeatedly since the start of the new year and since rumors began in February: "John has read 4 times and is doing screen tests," their source says. "He has screen tested 2 times so far. 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." The source added: "The big bosses are having him read with multiple actresses up for the female leads. They want to lock down the role and then they will narrow down everyone else."

Yet, another Marvel casting decision I don't agree with. A big toothy guy with a goofy grin. Report Abuse

Marvel seems intent on going with guys alway they think will be a big star and think that gives the project wings. Why not Steve Carrel for Spider-Man? Report Abuse

Ok this is kinda odd... Wasn't really expecting someone like him to be Cap A. I was thinking someone a lot more buffer / built etc... We'll see, i trust their judgment, as long as they can make it work properly im happy. Hes a great actor, its just his physical appearance im having trouble with... But we shall see :) Report Abuse

he was good enough in leatherheads, which was set before ww2..i think he has the look we just havent seen him in a role that really requires the intensity of cap. i bet he can pull it off tho. Report Abuse

does Marvel know something fans dont? Curious as to why Jim Halpert is the frontrunner for the leader of the Avengers... I may be in the minority on this but this feels like a bad casting decision. Edward Norton and Robert Downey Jr are great casting choices so I guess we should trust them but.... it just feels very wrong. Report Abuse
