Will Smith Is (Maybe Possibly) Captain America

The above picture didn’t come with the story below, but I thought it interesting.  I can’t see anyway that the powers that be would had this franchise over to Will Smith.  Not that we don’t like Will Smith, in fact, he’s our poster boy for genre actors.  Now, if they wanted to do a movie about isaiah Bradley, the first Captain America, then I say go for it.  But I am torn over him being cast for Steve Rogers.  Part of me says “great, another color blinding cast” and another says, “this can’t be right.”  I guess I’ll reserve comment until it happens.

If Will Smith has been offered the part, I can’t imagine he won’t take it. He might be busy, but he’s not going to say no because he’s not white enough. Him taking the role would be a seriously big deal in the world of race and mass media, let alone our little nerd/comics world.
