Hmm...I'm only marginally receptive to a few of them...I don't think a Captain American movie or feature film would be any good...

Curious to what they can come up with for that X-Men Origins thing though...

nobody i've spoken to, or even any sites i've read on the net are lookin' fwd to Captain America. that costume,or any close variant of would just not translate to a live-action movie.
