Wolfman. Benicio Del Toro. It's a great piece of casting - they don't come much wolfier than old Benicio. But even with the most hairiest of men baring his teeth at the camera, Joe Johnston's remake of the classic horror story never quite works. It's no surprise after the years of troubled production, but The Wolfman is patchy stuff. For all its gothic leanings and fondness for its furry material, this beast reeks mostly of ham. Thick, hammy slices of ham.

Two weeks, people. That's what Joe Johnston has confirmed. On the rounds for Wolfman, Johnston told Sci-Fi Wire that the super-solider would be definitely cast within the next two weeks and that we should expect an announcement.

He said: "We have a very short list, but we're still juggling actors here. I'd say within the next couple of weeks we'll have ourselves a Captain America, I hope."

So who should play the strong American? It better not be Sam Worthington. Aaron Eckhart's a popular favourite - he certainly has the muscles down pat - but with all the Oscar buzz floating around at the moment, I'd like to pop one name in there: Jeremy. Renner. Bet that won't happen...
