The word over at the San Diego Comic Con is that Torchwood star John Barrowman may be up for playing Captain America in a new movie based on the Marvel character.

In front of a packed crowd Barrowman was asked as to whether there was the slightest of possibilities that he will play the legendary character. ComingSoon.net had the scoop,

He smiled and gave the stock answer that he'd love to play the character and that Captain America has always been his favorite comic book superhero. Clearly, though, the notion did not take him by surprise and he ended up admitting there had been discussions with his agents and meetings on that very issue.

The First Avenger: Captain America has a release date set as May 6, 2011.
