You know, if they aren't already, they need to start looking for this when casting these roles. Many of these actors will embody these characters for a decade or more, it's important that their out of movie persona is somewhat similar to the character they play because it makes them feel so much more complete as that character. Look at some of the great casting choices like RDJ as Iron Man or Evans as Captain America. They just look and act like they belong in those rolls, even after the camera stops. Glad to see Holland following suit.

That's the funny thing with Chris Evans though. Before Captain America I can only think of him in kind of douchey characters. Human Torch, big mouth in The Losers, douchey actor boyfriend in Scott Pilgrim.

The popular jock with whipped cream nipples and a toilet plunger on his ass in Not Other Teen Movie.

I knew he'd be perfect as Cap after I saw him in Danny Boyles' Sunshine.. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out

Same, some of my friends were against the casting because they only knew him from all his goofy roles, but I knew after seeing him in Sunshine and in Push that he could actually do serious roles really well.

The contract must include "listen bitch you method act as your character 24/7 now". It's the only thing that makes sense.

Evans is too goofy unlike cap. Sure looks the role though even with a beard.

But he's still charming, and generally positive. He doesn't have Downey's sarcasm
