Behind The Scenes Crew

It's assumed since Industrial Light & Magic previously worked on the two Iron Man films would return for Captain America.
Many lesser known actors have auditioned for the lead role but it seems like the most notable of the group include Jensen Ackles (Supernatural, My Bloody Valentine), Ryan McPartlin (Chuck) and Chad Micheal Murray (One Tree Hill, House of Wax). While these names have been rumored there could be many others in the running. Jeremy Renner (Hurt Locker) was previously rumored for the role of Hawkeye but you never know he could end up in this film instead. In any case director Joe Johnston confirmed the cast would be chosen by March 1st.
