According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision blog, Chris Evans has been offered the role
Chris Evans as The Human Torch
of Captain America in the upcoming film The First Avenger: Captain America. Evans recently starred in “Push” and has previous superhero experience as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in the two “Fantastic Four” movies from Fox. Neither Evans’ representatives nor Marvel confirmed the offer.
THR says Evans’ offer would include starring in up to three “Captain America” films, in addition to the planned “Avengers” movies featuring Captain America, Iron Man and Thor. He could also appear in other Marvel movies.
Joe Johnston (“The Rocketeer”) is scheduled to direct “Captain America,” which will be set during World War II and is planned to film this summer in England.
Evans will appear in two already filmed comic-book movies set for release this year: “The Losers,” based on the DC Comics graphic novels, and “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World,” based on the Oni Press graphic novel series.
