According to The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision Blog, these five actors are all screen testing for Joe Johnston's "Captain America" movie this week. Chace Crawford ("Gossip Girl") is in talks to screen test as well, but no deal has been made yet. The article also mentions that Garrett Hedlund ("Four Brothers") and Jensen Ackles ("Supernatural") were in the running, but had to bow out due to scheduling conflicts.
From the article:
The studio has put the actors on 30-day holds during the testing process.
Sources on both sides caution that an actor may not be found from the tests, which happened during Marvel's search for the man who would be "Thor." For that movie, currently shooting in Manhattan Beach, the studio conducted several rounds of testing but found its star, Chris Hemsworth, out of left field.
