Mary Elizabeth Winstead & Josh Holloway Vying To Join 'Captain America: Winter Soldier'
Joe and Anthony Russo are getting rolling on 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' the sequel to 2011's 'Captain America: The First Avenger.' Chris Evans will return as super soldier supreme Steve Rogers and Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow will be making the crossover into Cap territory. Still up for grabs is the romantic female lead. Recently a laundry list of capable actresses was announced as being in the running for the role of the love interest, believed to be Peggy Carter's niece Sharon. This list included the likes of Emilia Clarke ('Game of Thrones') and Alison Brie ('Community'). Now it appears Mary Elizabeth Winstead may be in consideration for the part as well**. There are also a couple of highly coveted male roles still to be cast, the specifics of which are being kept under wraps. The top candidates right now appear to be Josh Holloway ('Lost') and Nikolaj Coster Waldau ('Game of Thrones.')
First things first, Mary Elizabeth Winstead is an absolute doll, and one of my favorite people to watch on screen. I think she's got talent for days, and I'm happy to hear her name in this conversation. That said, I'm not entirely convinced she's the right choice for the part. If it is indeed Sharon Carter that Marvel is looking to cast, my fear is that MEW is just not rough and tumble enough to play an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I've been wrong plenty of times before, and I would love it if I am being shortsighted here because it would mean seeing Mary Elizabeth Winsted in a Marvel movie, but it is a concern for me. As to the male roles, one of which I can only assume has to be a secondary villain, I think they're eying some phenomenal talent. Holloway was great on 'Lost,' and proved he could be a powerful screen presence in his, admittedly brief, role in 'Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol.' Meanwhile Waldau is sinisterly brilliant as Jaime Lannister on 'GoT' and was a wickedly clever villain in the spectacular 'Headhunters.' We know Sebastian Stan is returning as Bucky Barnes (aka The Winter Soldier) so it's possible that at least one of the remaining male roles is that of General Vasily Karpov. If that's the case, I think Waldau has the edge.
What do you guys think? Would Mary Elizabeth Winstead make a good Sharon Carter? Would Josh Holloway and/or Nikolaj Coster Waldau make suitable additions to the cast?
**Update: Mary Elizabeth Winstead posted via Twitter, "Internet rumors can be fun, but unfortunately they are often also very untrue." Not an outright denial, but it could indicate that she's not actually auditioning for 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' after all.

Not rough and tumble enough? Have seen her in Scott Pilgrim?

Im becoming tired of the marvel movie formula. They need to stop putting love interests in all their films. The only one which didn't have that story element was "The Avengers", and that was by far the best one. If they don't break their formula soon, their going to eventually bury themselves

I can't see Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Sharon Carter, and I'm still holding out hope that she will be cast as Mary Jane Watson in the next Spidey film.

I fucking love Mary Elizabeth Winstead, put her in anything and I will mostly likely watch it.Sebastian Stan is good actor. I liked him as Bucky. I just hope that in the time he has before filming he gets Buff. Josh Holloway I don't know.

to be fair the Ultimate wolverine is 6'1'' so his height could be justified

Look, Hugh Jackman as 5'3" Wolverine says it all. It has nothing to do with comic book fans but using familiar names in the actor's interpretation of their cosplay. That's fine. The object is to make money not to make the biggest geek (and that's not Knowles or Kevin Smith) happy but the NON-comic book collectors who say they like comic books.
The job of Knowles and Smith is to be the business men putting a spin on it to get you to spend your $20 per ticket in NYC for 3-D.

I would love to see Holloway as Green Arrow, but honestly, I'll be glad to see him as any superhero. As for Winstead, I'd say maybe she could do it. Then again, I didn't think Evans would be a good Cap, and he is perfect.

@ Gift Of The Magi
If they were looking for people that matched the physical criteria perfectly, they would have never casted RDJ (he's like half a foot shorter than comic Stark) and we wouldn't be here right now.

That's too bad. There is entirely too little Mary Elizabeth Winstead in movies.
