Bringing the discussion that me and Theresa were having:

Whether this is true or not... I have absolutely NO idea! Nevertheless, the idea of him playing Captain America is growing on me. At least he'd get to be shirtless,

I remember that someone said on Ben's page on IMDB that he would be a good fit for the role. But that was just someone's opinion and that's the only time I heard it mentioned.

The person who replied said she'd heard from multiple sources, so I guess you should track her down and see what sources she was talking about.

Don't remember where the other source was that I saw it, but they also said that Ben was approached about the role. And yeah I also saw that that you were talking about on imdb, but like you said that's more pertaining to people thinking he'd be good for the role.

Thanks for the link. It's nothing formal or reliable, but I do hope it's true.
