I have a very difficult time picturing Cera in that role. It will require occasional excitement from a guy who has made his career by being comically unexciting.

Why is Chris Evans always cast in nothing other than comic book adaptations? First it was as Human Torch in the "Fantastic Four" franchise, then it was in "Push," then "Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World," and now he's filming "The Losers." Does he like this type of material or what?

Well he was cast in Sunshine. That was no comic adaption.

I think this movie will be great! I have no doubts at all when Edgar Wright is in the driver's seat!

all the characters have been perfectly casted in my opinion, all except for cera. I liked him in a few movies, but as Bob says, He doesn't seem to do excitement very well. Let's hope he actually tries in this role to vary his vocal capacity, not keep it all monotone as he seems to do.

Edgar Wright + Scott Pilgrim = Great Film.

Strap in, folks. The movie is going to kick some ass.

Aubrey Plaza's babbling makes me doubt her acting abilities, but maybe she can deliver lines and I'm just picky.

Wow, no stupid "first" awesome. I really hope this movie will be good. And @senorashish Chris Evans does great in these types of films so why not?? He was the only good thing about the FF movies.

Mark Webber?? Well, he can driver fast. Hope he can act...
