Final 'Captain America' contenders!

The race for the role of "The First Avenger: Captain America" is hearting up, and as Heat Vision reports, about seven actors are left in the competition. And now the big shock: John Krasinski is one of them fighting for the lead in the upcoming superhero flick.

Wait, what? That's right. Krasinski is apparently on the list, and so are Michael Cassidy, Patrick Flueger, Scott Porter and Mike Vogel. Word is even Chace Crawford may show up at the screen tests, which are underway this week at Marvel. Joe Johnston will direct the film.

Even though these people are doing tests this week, Marvel may end up deciding to go look somewhere else. Still, the idea of seeing someone like Krasinski in the main role seems strange, even though I love him as an actor. I would never doubt his skills.

Johnston also recently gave a "Captain America" update, which you can check out here. The question remains: who would you like to see slip into the role of the Captain?

‘Gilmore Girl’ finds ‘Good Guy’

Alexis Bledel, the star of TV’s “Gilmore Girls,” has signed on to star in Julio DePietro’s upcoming romantic comedy “The Good Guy,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Also joining the project is “Friday Night Lights” star Scott Porter. Aaron Yoo, Bryan Greenberg, Andrew McCarthy and Anna Chlumsky are already on board.

Written and directed by DePietro, the film stars Porter as a successful Wall Street businessman who tumbles into a crisis when he starts to advise a news salesman (played by Bryan Greenberg).

Bledel will play Porter’s girlfriend, while McCarthy will star as his boss. Yoo is set to star as his co-worker.

Bledel will next be seen in Sanaa Hamri’s “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.” Porter recently starred in “Prom Night” and “Street Racer.” He recently wrapped filming for Todd Graff’s “Rock On.”
