I just can't see my Jim from the Office as Captain America, but rumors are floating (HollywoodReporter.com) that John Krasinski is on the short list to play the iconic comic book hero. 
Joe Johnston is set to direct.
The films plot? Steve Rodgers becomes a beacon of liberty and symbol of strength thru Captain America who comes about via an experimental serum.
Also on the short list? Carrie Underwood's ex Chace Crawford.
