But y'all know I'm all about Jason Street!!!
Six for Cap! Six for Cap! Six for Cap!
universe, thats the ticket
But, I would hop that with all of the success and aclaim coming out of this summer's comic book movie crop that a guy like Matt Damon is considering the role. He'd be perfect.
Lastly, Dadofiandi, I'm going to geek out on you a little bit here: It's Steve Rogers...not Richards. :) (But, I agree with you. For some reason I think of Cap as being older, too. He won't be though because of the origin--new recruit in WWII that takes the super soldier formula and --at most--a couple of years later is frozen in ice. Technically, he should be around 20-24).
I think an older actor could work because of the commanding presence he's supposed to have. I think younger people/actors have a hard time pulling that off. Also, if they eventually do a Cap movie that's not an origin film, they ffwd in time a bit. I get the impression that even in the timelessness of the comic book universe, Cap has been around for a long time. You can see it in the way the newer heroes are in awe and get nervous around him.
So if you have Mr. Happy pants bragging about his latest outing with whomever American boy or UK boy, its not going to relate to something that Steve Rogers would do...thats why it might matter..
I know it WILL matter, I just think it shouldn't. It's a shame, IMO.

Last time I checked Capt America Was not immortal . He also Aged like the rest of us and was not impervious to any and all types of weapons .
He also could not jump through time like Jack can.
Jack Can Run faster than most turbo charged cars .
Capt America Can't.
Jack would need to become a body builder if you want him to become Capt America in the nude scen where he is exposed to cosmic radiation and changes from 5'6' to 6' 4" .And steps out of the chamber of rebirth .
If you remember at that exact moment he is shot ten times by a german crackpot who also kills every scientist working on project AVENGER and destroys all records and computers that might let America create a race of super men. He is also killed.
