Ryan Phillippe has confirmed reports that he is the latest actor throwing his hat into the ring to play high-flying action hero Captain America in Marvel’s Summer 2011 box office blockbuster.

In an interview with MTV News on Monday, the newly-single Cruel Intentions star confirmed that he’s set up an audition for the superhero movie. But Ryan will have some stiff competition for the role of Steve Rogers; Brothers star Patrick Flueger, Cloverfield’s Mike Vogel, G.I. Joe’s Channing Tatum, and Smallville actor Michael Cassidy are among the hopefuls trying out for the action adventure.
