According to Collider, Jensen Ackles is still in contention to play Captain America.
They are reporting that there are seven, not six actors on the short list.
John Krasinski, Scott Porter, Garrett Hedlund, Chace Crawford, Michael Cassidy, and Mike Vogel have already been reported all over the net. Collider adds Jensen Ackles to the list.
Collider reports that the problem with both Hedlund and Ackles is scheduling. His commitment to Supernatural seems to conflict with the Captain America shooting schedule. I find it hard to believe something could not be worked out.
I have by no means been an advocate of Ackles for Captain America but with the other choices available, I hope he can find some time in his schedule for the role. I can't believe I'm saying this but of the names mentioned, he is far and away the best choice.
I am also hearing that John Krasinski (The Office) all but has the role. Sorry i just can't see him pulling Cap Off.
What I find shocking is that the actor who lands the role will only be getting $300k for the first film but the contract will stipulate a 9 picture deal (To cover The Avengers and it's sequels and any other guest appearances in other Marvel films!)
