Just throwing it out there:
Gerrard Butler as Steve Rogers, Captain America.
Check out some of his movies where he's fairly normal, such as (I know guys won't want to do this, but it's crucial to understanding why I'm picking him) "P.S. I Love You," and "Tomb Raider 2: Cradle of LIfe."
Then watch "300" and (again, it's something many guys won't be ready to do, but just watch snippets of it) and "Phantom of the Opera" and listen to him yell, check out the presence he carries.
In my opinion, he is the best choice to pull off that rugged, down-to-Earthiness of Steve Rogers while at the same time being able to bring the presence and carry the WEIGHT of a character like Captain America.
If you think I'm crazy, just check out these movies first, picture him with blond hair and an American accent, read some of the Captain America comics, swirl it around in your head, and come back to me.
One more thing. if after all that you still think he's a bad choice, just watch "300" one more time, close your eyes and imagine Gerrard Butler yelling...
"AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!"
