to:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/MarvelCinematicUniverse Enough WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Creator/JohnKrasinski was the original choice
for its own page]]the role of [[Comicbook/CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]] before Creator/ChrisEvans was cast. However, despite him screen-testing in the actual Captain America suit, Krasinski immediately declared "I am '''NOT''' Captain America" after seeing Creator/ChrisHemsworth [[DistractedByTheSexy walk by in his muscular Thor body.]]
** Creator/GarrettHedlund, Creator/ChanningTatum, Creator/ScottPorter, Creator/MikeVogel, Creator/ChaceCrawford, Creator/MichaelCassidy, Creator/JohnnyPacar, Creator/PatrickFlueger, Creator/DerekTheler, Creator/WilsonBethel, and Creator/ChadMichaelMurray were also considered for the part of Captain America. Bethel would later go on to portray [[ComicBook/BullseyeMarvelComics Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter]] in ''Series/{{Daredevil|2015}}'', while Murray would star as Jack Thompson in ''Series/AgentCarter''.

Stan, Pratt, and Russell would eventually go on to play Comicbook/BuckyBarnes, [[Comicbook/StarLord Peter Quill]], and [[ComicBook/USAgent John Walker]] respectively in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.
** Creator/EmilyBlunt was offered the role of ComicBook/PeggyCarter before Creator/HayleyAtwell was cast. Interestingly, Blunt was previously approached for [[Comicbook/BlackWidow Natasha Romanoff]] in ''Film/IronMan2'' and her husband, Creator/JohnKrasinski, was the first candidate to portray Steve Rogers in the film.
** Creator/AliceEve, Creator/GemmaArterton, Creator/RosamundPike, and Creator/KeiraKnightley were considered for ComicBook/PeggyCarter as well before the casting of Atwell. Eve would later go on to play Mary Walker in ''Series/{{Iron Fist|2017}}''.
** [[Series/KamenRiderDragonKnight Stephen Ford]] auditioned for the role of [[Characters/MarvelComicsBuckyBarnes Bucky Barnes]] before the casting of Creator/SebastianStan. Ford would later go to write for ''Series/WandaVision''.
** Creator/JeffGoldblum was approached for a cameo as the senator who gets Steve involved in the USO, but it didn't work out. Goldblum would eventually portray the Grandmaster in ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.
** Creator/ScarlettJohansson was rumored to appear as [[ComicBook/BlackWidow Natasha Romanoff]]. It would have been most likely that her role would have been Amanda Righetti's role as the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent pretending to be Steve's nurse at the end of the movie.
** Matt Salinger, the star of ''Film/{{Captain America|1990}}'', [[http://www.gq.com/entertainment/movies-and-tv/201107/matt-salinger-interview-captain-america wrote to the director over]] [[MythologyGag a possible cameo]]. After a lukewarm reply, Salinger didn't push the offer any further and nothing more came of it.
** Creator/ChrisEvans turned down the offer to play Captain America several times; not out of dislike for the role, but because he feared what the effects of the sudden increase of fame would be on his private life. Then Creator/RobertDowneyJr convinced him to take the part and thus gain the freedom to sign on any other role he'd want to after, and [[StarMakingRole the rest is history]].
** Up until a very late stage in pre-production, HYDRA would have been a blatantly Nazi paramilitary organization, with swastikas on their uniform. The implication is still present in the final version, however, with Schmidt being portrayed with a swastika arm-band when threatening Erskine in a flashback. In addition, deleted scenes also had HYDRA explicitly attacking Nazis in addition to Allied powers.
** Early drafts of the script featured Baron Zemo and Baron Strucker working alongside the Red Skull. They ended up being cut because Christopher Markus and Stephen [=McFeely=] felt the characters would've been "wasted" in mere supporting roles. Red Skull wound up [[CompositeCharacter filling their roles]], while Strucker wound up appearing in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' and ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' while Zemo debuted in ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' (albeit as [[LegacyCharacter Helmut Zemo]], revamped [[AdaptationalHeroism to have no ties to HYDRA while still evil]], rather than his father Heinrich, reduced to a PosthumousCharacter).
** ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} and ComicBook/{{Magneto}} were originally planned to have cameos (the former as a soldier and the latter in an internment camp), but it fell through due to copyright issues.

* MoneyDearBoy: Creator/HugoWeaving has gone on record stating that he is indifferent to the film and has very little interest in reprising his role as the Red Skull, due to the difficulty of the makeup process involved.

Been reading that Ackles being offered any Marvel role at all may have been a complete fabrication by fans, further corroborated that it would have been reported on in an official capacity had it been true.


-->'''Hugo Weaving:''' ''"It was fun to play; I enjoyed the outrageousness of the German accent that I employed and I enjoyed the extraordinary mask and costume, even though it was unbelievably hot inside it. I enjoy mask work; I enjoy trying to animate masks and reveal certain things that the mask itself might not reveal. V for Vendetta was another example of that, but there was less animation within that mask versus the Red Skull. With Marvel, it’s pretty basic stuff: accept the deal and enjoy the ride. It’s not a major stretch for an actor, but on the other hand the difficulty with the Marvel universe is maintaining a link to a human dimension within such an extraordinary, technological CGI universe. In terms of me going back and doing another one, I don’t know. I’m not sure what they’re up to with the Red Skull."''

-->'''Hugo --->'''Hugo Weaving:''' ''"It was fun to play; I enjoyed the outrageousness of the German accent that I employed and I enjoyed the extraordinary mask and costume, even though it was unbelievably hot inside it. I enjoy mask work; I enjoy trying to animate masks and reveal certain things that the mask itself might not reveal. V for Vendetta was another example of that, but there was less animation within that mask versus the Red Skull. With Marvel, it’s pretty basic stuff: accept the deal and enjoy the ride. It’s not a major stretch for an actor, but on the other hand the difficulty with the Marvel universe is maintaining a link to a human dimension within such an extraordinary, technological CGI universe. In terms of me going back and doing another one, I don’t know. I’m not sure what they’re up to with the Red Skull."''

** Was actually deliberately {{Averted|Trope}} in the case of Captain America himself (Sebastian Stan originally auditioned for Steve). The crew felt that it was necessary for the Cap to be played by a genuine American.

* TheOtherDarrin: Howard Stark was portrayed by Gerard Sanders in still photos, John Slattery in archive footage and Creator/DominicCooper in life. Justified as all three depictions are from different time periods -- the still photos are from around Tony Stark's pre-teens and beyond, the archive footage from his childhood, and in real life it's the '40s long before he's even born, so Howard ages significantly between each depiction. Slattery and Cooper have continued to portray the character in subsequent MCU works depending on what the time period depicted is.

** Over a dozen movies later, [[spoiler:we learn that the Red Skull [[NeverFoundTheBody didn't die when he was seemingly disintegrated]], as many fans suspected. Turns out he was actually transported to a distant planet and [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment transformed into the guardian of the Soul Stone.]]]]
