The search for a lead in the new Captain America feature is down to John Krasinski (Jim on The Office) and five others — Brothers actor Patrick Flueger, Cloverfield’s Mike Vogel, and Smallville star Michael Cassidy — according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Gossip Girl hunk Chace Crawford has also been linked to the high-flying role, although he’s yet to confirm his commitment to the audition process.
The First Avenger: Captain America is expected to open in July 2011.
