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.”
