Casting for Marvel's Captain America feature, including screen tests, is underway, according to Deadline Hollywood.  The list of candidates for the role of Cap includes John Krasinski (The Office), Chace Crawford (Gossip Girl), Scott Porter (Caprica, Friday Night Lights), Mike Vogel (Cloverfield), Michael Cassidy (Smallville), and Patrick Flueger (The 4400). 

Of course, the final actor chosen to play Cap may not come from this list, but it’s good news that casting is starting, which will make it possible for the film to make its scheduled June start for production (see “Captain America Filming in June”).
