john barrowman = captain america?

John Barrowman, the star of "Torchwood," was just asked moments ago at the San Diego Comic-Con panel if there was any possibility that he would be playing Captain America in the upcoming feature film.

He smiled and gave the stock answer that he'd love to play the character and that Captain America has always been his favorite comic book superhero. Clearly, though, the notion did not take him by surprise and he ended up admitting there had been discussions with his agents and meetings on that very issue.

The First Avenger: Captain America is currently scheduled for a May 6, 2011 release.

	Um. Maybe? It's going to be hard to make this movie so that it's not too corn-ball for the blue states and too, well, gay for the red states. John Barrowman is both. I can see him playing Captain America, but I'm not sure I can see America going to see him as Captain America. (Reply to this)
