Ready to Meet ‘Captain America’? Cleveland Extras Casting Call Announced for Marvel Film


How about this for my 'Captain America' audition?
So what do you think? Should I use this photo as my headshot when I apply to be an extra in Marvel’s Captain America: Winter Soldier, filming this spring in and around Cleveland, Ohio?

Maybe. Maybe not. But maybe.

You can apply to be an extra, too. Marvel recently announced the casting call, which will take place April 19 and 20, 2013, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Tri-C’s Metro Campus, Building UTC, Room 229. You can find that at 2415 Woodland Ave., Cleveland.

Here’s what you need to know if you go. You have to be 18 years old or older.

Minors should not come to the casting call, but if your son or daughter wants to try out – and they’re 9 years old or older – you can bring a current, casual snapshot to include.

Dress in business attire. And come well-groomed. (Sounds like another fancy party, maybe? Like the one Marvel shot for The Avengers downtown?)

Bring a pen to fill out the application. Don’t show up early.

And that’s it! Follow those rules and you’re this much closer to landing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Marvel Studios recently paused production on its vampire superhero flick, Blade , after director Bassam Turiq stepped down in late September. He remains attached to the film as an executive producer. Cleveland was set to host Blade ’s production crew in November. Some local cast and crew hoping to work on the picture wondered via social media if the change in director and reported script updates might see a change in Blade’s on-location plans. “There is no indication that the Cleveland portion of the script is likely to be omitted,” says Bill Garvey, president of the Greater Cleveland Film Commissio n . “We look forward to the project spending and creating jobs in Northeast Ohio sometime next year.” No official word from either camp has explained why Bassam left the film, though scheduling conflicts are the most likely culprit. Marvel has pushed back production on the reboot several times over the last few years. The movie, featuring Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali in the title
