I really hope they treat this movie with some respect and don't let it become some warped patriotic vehicle, which can happen very easily. But with John Krasinski playing the lead role, how can it be anything but a serious, emotional, dark movie? (Crap: I think I'm in trouble.  As in "Eric Bana as the Hulk" trouble. Me smash!)" target="_self" href="http://marvel.com/universe/Captain_America_(Steve_Rogers)"&gt;Sentinel of Liberty&lt;/a&gt;? I hope this isn’t a &lt;a title='Ah, nostalgia.

(Update: &lt;a title="John's reaction: "I want to clamp Michael's face in a George Foreman Grill." World's reaction: "Oh, thank god." I'm not saying that you can't have a comedic person in a role like this (koff!MichaelKeatonasawesomeBatman!koff!), I'm just saying that normally it doesn't work out. I mean, look at Michael Keaton now. That movie was the pinnacle. You didn't see another Mr. Mom after that, did you?
