Captain America Enlists Narnia Scribes

Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the writing team behind the Narnia movies, indie crime-comedy You Kill Me, and HBO movie The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, are in negotiations to tackle Marvel's The First Avenger: Captain America. The movie, if you'll remember, signed Joe Johnston on as its director last week, and it looks like the remaining talent is beginning to fill in as well. It's set to come out on May 6, 2011. Now that a script is being worked on, the producers can likely focus more seriously on casting. Which begs the question, who would make a good Captain America? Rumors have mentioned everyone from Leonardo DiCaprio to Matthew McConaughey to Dr. Who's John Barrowman. Personally, I'm intrigued by the recent suggestion of Channing Tatum. The only thing bothersome about that idea for me is that he's a bit on the young side. Leave us a comment with any of your suggestions.
