A 2nd Captain Role For Pine?

Is Star Trek reboot's Captain Kirk Chris Pine poised to play the lead in Joe Johnston’s comic book flick The First Avenger: Captain America?

A source for CinemaSpy reports: "Paramount and Marvel are pretty close to closing a deal on casting Steve Rogers/Captain America and fans might be excited to learn that the short list includes somebody a lot of fans speculated about, Chris Pine. From what I'm hearing, he's the front runner right now, though that could change"

Grain of salt please--there have been claims linking several of TV's familiar faces to the part, including Supernatural's Jensen Ackles, Chuck's Ryan McPartlin and One Tree Hill dudes Chad Michael Murray & Robert Buckley as well. With roles such as this all you can do is await official word

"America" starts filming this summer and is due out in July, 2011. The part should be cast soon
