Chris Evans who played The Human Torch in Fantastic Four has accepted Marvel's offer to be Steve Rogers or better known as Captain America in the next installment in The Avengers franchise.
This means that Evans is going to be joining Robert Downey Jr. and Edward Norton when The Avengers movie roles out in 2012.
Personally I felt Matthew Fox would have been a better choice for Captain America but I did like Chris Evans in Sunshine, so I do look forward to see what he does with the role. The First Avenger: Captain America will premiere in 2011.
