If Channing Tatum gets the part, I will not even bother to watch the film. Seriously. I don't mean to be hyperbolic, but Tatum is a relentlessly bad actor. He has absolutely no charisma whatsoever.

I'd rather have Phillippe than Tatum, Hell Chris O'Donnel over both of them. man this list of candidates isn't very good at all.
I've always thought Phillippe would make a better Warren Worthington III

Ryan Philipe? hahaha he suckkss, such a wooden actor with the same stupid facial expression on his face the whole time.
EDIT: OH MY GOD, Tatum is the lead from GI Joe? my god what a seriously shitty group of actors to choose form. Just the fact they are auditining so many wooden actors says something about the film I think. It says, we're heading down GI JOE, FANTASTIC FOUR, or X-MEN 3 path. Movies with decent action, garbage writing, mediocre and campy acting. The kind of movies people say "hey you just need to turn your brain off" and "just enjoy it" and "sure the acting and dialogue might suck, but it did what its supposed to" (excuses for movies that suck).

You go with Moore and I'll go with Glen Beck.

I guess it was this line that gave me that impression.
I wish they'd go back to John Krasinski or just offer the damn role to Captain Awesome already.
Ryan Phillipe might be interesting. At least he's shown some acting ability.

Since that statement would apply to any of the candidates, why single Tatum out in particular?

Ever since Cruel Intentions came out, I can't shake him from being that d-bag, Sebastion Valmont character, even probably think that he would come off like that in real life too, but who knows. But out of that line up of actors, he would probably have to be the strongest actor, especially later on when grouped up with the likes of RDJ, Samuel L Jackson, possibly Ed Norton. So I am assuming the producers are taking that into consideration as well when creating an ensemble cast and superhero team.
Not like it matter's at all, and I'm not going to bat for this guy and say he should be casted or even say this movie deserved it, but Phillippe was in a an oscar winning movie, in Crash.
I still wonder who they could get for Hank Pym, but Will Arnett comes to mind. I don't know why.

Because the article was about Channing Tatum, not about the general status of the casting of Captain America.

I've seen maybe 2 whole episodes of that show but he has the look I'd prefer over Tatum, Phillipe and most others at the time.
He's just 'unknown' enough to qualify in my book. Actor from a niche show on Friday nights. I like the suggestion.

That's what I mean: why single out Tatum in the article that way, as though his addition to this laundry list is somehow special? How many guys have we been through so far?
Nobody ever said, "hey it's just a matter of him getting an offer and accepting it" of any of the other candidates, as though there's some increased odds of that happening.

Because for some reason that I cannot fathom, he seems to have some "fans".

Well the thing is, they really need to cast a Cap that will work well with the other two leads they've already got (3 if they somehow get Norton back) - I mean RDJr is a pretty big character, he's older, he's got a lot of on screen charisma - so Cap can't be a guy who'll essentially play 'second fiddle' to Tony Stark, Tony has to be able to forge a good working relationship and even a bit of respect to Cap. I dunno if Tatum can pull that off. Unless they just cast him as Cap in the Cap movie and then when Avengers comes up, they cast an older actor and just say its because the ice aged him slowly, but it still aged him.
What I am interested in seeing is how they'll deal with the whole WW2- modern day thing. I mean when Cap was first revived, he was only stuck in ice for like 20 years or so. Long enough, but not THAT long honestly. So he went from 1945 to 1967... but its now 2010 - 2011 by the time the movie comes out. That's one big ass long amount of time to be floating in ice. Although global warming is a myth and we've got global cooling, so... hey, Cap could be sitting in ice for a very very long time... but even so. 20 years vs 66 ish years... yikes.
So I'm wondering if they'll throw in some techno babbly reason, like instead of falling off a plane and ending up freezing instantly and somehow staying in a block of ice for almost 70 years... Cap ended up getting thrown in stasis by the Skull or something and then his stasis chamber was on a plane, that went down and got stuck in the ice for a very very long time. Would make a bit more plausible sense instead of a guy in just his costume and fatiques could survive that long, without being nibbled on by fish or other things, or just torn limb from limb when he fell off said plane. Super soldier serum be damned, I think Mythbusters confirms that a fall from that kind of altitude would not only kill you, it'd rip your bloody limbs off.

I've never even seen the guy in anything. But what do I know. I don't get all the Twilight crap.
He pals around with a guy who got blasted by radiation and turned into the Jolly Green Giant instead of you know dying. 20 years, 100 years, doesn't make a huge diff.
Good point about Cap needing to be played by an actor who can match Robert Downey Jr. and Edward Norton for talent and screen presence. Yeekers. Maybe Chris Evans could do it? Of the other rumored candidates, John Krasinski and Ryan McPartlin also seem like possibilities. There are too many lightweights on that list.

He needs to exceed them and be The Man. Someone who can snap them to and forge them into a real team thru strength of personality and brilliance of tactics.
Somebody who can command a god, a monster, a billionaire playboy and a smartass carny all in one sitting.

That's like saying 'Spidey powers be damned' in regards to Peter Parker's limbs not being torn off when swinging through New York.
