THR is reporting that
Marvel Studios has offered
The First Avenger: Captain America to Chris Evans, who played Johnny Storm/Human Torch in the "Fantastic Four" movies.
Marvel Studios would not confirm the development to ComingSoon.net/SuperHeroHype saying they don't comment on rumors.
The Hollywood trade says the offer would include starring in up to three "
Captain America" movies plus
The Avengers and appearances in several other Marvel movies.
Evans does have a scheduling conflict, however. He is committed to co-starring in the Anna Faris
romantic comedy What's Your Number?. Both are scheduled to shoot this summer.
Joe Johnston will direct
The First Avenger: Captain America in England for a July 22, 2011 release.
