John Krasinski Close to Nabbing ‘Captain America’ Role

Reports are saying that John Krasinski is very close to playing the lead role in The First Avenger: Captain America.

A source said:

“John has read 4 times and is doing screen tests. He has screen tested 2 times so far. It’s very likely that he will be the new Captain America. He is a favorite among the key decision makers and has been asked to come back for more this week.

“The big bosses are having him read with multiple actresses up for the female leads. They want to lock down the role and then they will narrow down everyone else.”

The film is set for a summer 2011 release.

What do you think? Yay or Nay?
