The Friday Night Lights Star Who Almost Became Marvel’s Captain America

When “Iron Man” Took a global ticket result on the Storm in the summer of 2008, with such a bold promise not only the sequels, but also creating the entire large-screen universe, culminating in superhero’s mash-up cartoons that had dreamed of children. Could this Newfangled Marvel Cinematic Universe Hook enough rank -And File movie users to achieve this sublime goal?

All of this would depend on the fact that numerous gaming would break the company. Marvel kept the team steadily handmade leaders with colored linewriters, who then hope as hell that the stars of these heroes they played could transform from a billion dollar franchise pillars.

At that time, a well-released Casting competition focused on finding a perfect, fresh face for the future star to receive Steve Rogers’ shield, Captain America. At that time, I covered this process so that it was not great news, and for a moment it seemed that John Krasinsk’s role was losing. He was there until the day when the studio offered some to Chris Evans – and it is amusing to see that the fans were not all that the former human flashlight got another bite in Marvel Apple. They thought that Evans was missing Gravitas to play a young World War II recruitment, which became extraordinary. Instead, they wanted a relatively long teeth as a teeth, Mark Valley or Nathan Filion.

Marvel always intended to throw a young actor to play Rogers, and one of the finalists was the early standout in classic NBC/Directv series “Friday Night Lights” ( -) And no, it wasn’t Taylor Kitsch.

During the recent occurrence “See what happens live”, “ Scott Porter, who rose to television on Jason Street, on the “Friday Night Lights”, was asked about the mission of the role of Captain America. He replied quite honestly that 15 years ago it was “kick in nuts”.

Other finalists, in addition to Krasinsk, were Mike Vogel and Wilson Bethel (Who is now MCU’s bullshit), and all of these Actors got far enough on the road to do the screen tests at the cap. At this point, it felt very real, and for the porter he made it to swallow the bitter pill. “It was like big … I’m bent, nodding, lifting. Yeah, it was bad. Because all these press information had set my head captain on the American body and started buying,” he explained. “I was like” I can do this. “Oh, no.” Yes, I can’t. “

Porter eventually discovered a new great success in Netflix drama “Ginny & Georgia”, the third season of which just premieres on June 5th. He has moved on to his confession and is a huge fan of what Evans did with a role that could have been him. “Who else can be captain America like Chris Evans?” He said. “I wasn’t angry at all, and I watched all the ‘Avengers’ movies. I’m a huge nerd, and the man just crushed it.”
