It looks like the hunt for the right man to suit in as Steve Rogers aka Captain America has finally comes to an end. For the upcoming The First Avenger: Captain America, it is been said that the pivotal role has been offered to Chris Evans. Yes, the same Chris Evans who we used to see playing Human Torch aka Johnny Storm in the two Fantastic Four movies. It was first reported on The Hollywood Reporter but it seems that the news has widespread across the globe.

Marvel has not confirmed the development and CAA, which reps the actor, declined to comment.

If Evans is to accept the offer, he will have plenty of projects to come. A possible three Captain America movies and as well The Avengers series are expected to come in handily. Earlier reports had director Joe Johnston and his casting team looking for an largely unknown actor for the role. Michael Cassidy, Patrick Flueger, Scott Porter, Wilson Blethel, Mike Vogel, John Krasinski, Chace Crawford and Garrett Hedlund were among those who had test for the role.

Joe Johnston is directing the Captain America movie this summer in England. However, there is a problem though where Evans is also committed to do a co-starring with Anna Faris rom-com What's Your Number? this summer too!!

But we are still unsure if Chris Evans would accept or declined the offer yet.
