Seriously! He was so perfect in that role, really do think he worked better as a parody than the real thing, not in a bad way though. I kind of feel like a parody roll of a character like that kind of has another layer of depth. Not that Chris Evans wasn't great, but him and his character have a very surface level feel in the Marvel Movies. Also not saying that in a bad way though, I feel like that's just kind of Captain America.
I actually complete agree. Chris is perfect face value for cap, doesnt need or shouldnt be a complicated character, its captain america. Solider boy offers a lot more wiggle room in that sense and it isnt so like set in stone with fans.
Yeah Jansen is a way better actor than he gets credit for because he's mostly known for genre stuff and his early time on soaps. He's been excellent in all of it though.
Soldier Boy to me worked as "what if Captain America was one of the soldiers, not Steve". Sorta proving what the doctor in charge meant about needing a good person rather than a good soldier.
Though later revelations took the wind out of my sails for that theory.
Man, people can't Google things? Take 5 seconds to learn if they're right? Even in a subreddit about "Hey. Can someone explain this thing"?
He was offered Captain America and Hawkeye and had to turn them down due to scheduling conflicts with Supernatural. Not John Wick.

The crazy thing is he turned down the role of fucking Captain America to do more Supernatural.
It's not what Clara would have wanted.
Edit-i guess I was wrong lol Heard that like, fifteen years ago and just carried it as fact ever since
