the green lantern isn’t black either….theres more than one. hal jordan is the white one and jon stewart is the black one. captain america is white…if black people want a super hero his name is hancock.

In reply to melbye. Wake up this is a new age ! I was raised on marvel comics and from my perspective change is always good. that era of the blue eyed, blonde haired super hero is boring . Hell I could pull off the part of Captain America and I am quite sure Will Smith will have no problems.Oh and by the way, I think you better check your wallet cause maybe you left your race card there .

ok im not a racist but come on. CAP is a crew cut white guy and call me crazy but thats not will smith. i think hes a great actor and does some great work and i do think he could pull it off but the whole movie would just be weird with a black cap. now im not big on the comics i just no some stuff so i dont want to act like i made CAP but no. if u want will smith in marvel make him the black panther or something

I am A huge avengers fan and I’m all for them letting Smith play Capt cause the person according to my knowledge that was tested on was black (Sidebar, I’m not raciest at all).My Personal opinion, If they really want smith in the movie i think they should cast him as HAWKEYE. Captain America is not to much of a stretch for Smith but i think it would be cooler to see Smith argue with Cap than be Cap.Plus it would be like him playin the dude form i am legend again and i like than movie

I’m a fan of both Will Smith and Captain America…and I think idea is totally lame.

I realize that replacing existing superheroes with new minority characters taking over the title role has become the new big thing.

Kill off Blue Beatle and replace him with a Hispanic.

Replace Nighthawk with an African-American.

Replace Firestorm with an African-American.

I haven’t connected with any of the comic characters after the switch, because it feels so contrived.

I think it will be even worse for Will Smith as Captain America, because CA is such an iconic figure, that fans already have a connection to.

I would really like to see Smith take on the role of the Black Panther. There’s really no other actor in Hollywood who could do that role.

I forgot to add: I’m Swedish (always have been a Swedish citizen) so it’s best that you Americans decides who’s gonna be Captain America.

I like Will Smith and will buy Hancock on DVD because it’s a good movie and he’s good in it, but I don’t think that he will be a good Captain America. He don’t look like the character in the comics! And besides; he has already played a superhero in Hancock!! I think that an actor only should do only one superhero-role in their career for sake of continuity.

When are they gonna make a movie about Captain Obvious?

I liked the movie “Wild wild west”!

I am the biggest Will Smith fan! I’ll watch anything with him in it. But I don’t see him doing this role. Would he do a great job of it? Of course! He’s Will Smith!! But he wouldn’t do the best job possible for the role. I still say that Leonardo Dicaprio needs to hit the gym for the next year or so, get mega buffed and cut, and then do Captain America! He’s come a long way since his sissy, emo performance in Titanic. He’d be great for the role!

@ P-Man

I remember Will Smith trying to revive the role of another predominantly white character and Bombed, that being “Captain James West” aka The Wild Wild West. I knew that movie was doomed from the start, just as Captain America would be too with Will as Steve Rogers.

Robert Conrad was just ingrained into that role and also the Psyche of movie goers and TV viewer fans everywhere. Anyone who says it made no difference that Will Smith was black playing the lead in Wild Wild West is in severe denial and maybe should seek help. There were certain expectations of that character (James West) and of course time period that Will Smith was just not able to overcome! No matter how much I like him as a man and good actor, he is just not right for the Captain America role!
