I hope they can make Captain America the focus of both the film and the movie goers, but my concerns stand.
They're not even really concerns. As long as the movie is good, I am okay with it. I guess it's more of a prediction really.
Also, while I'm a fan of the Chris Evans casting, I feel as though they would have gone out and got someone like Leonardo Dicaprio if they were looking for it to be a bigger hit than Iron Man. I know this has nothing to do with quality, but it sort of indicates their approach to the concept.
I don't care that much about star power. Unfortunately, I think a lot of the general public does. That's what I'm trying to get at with placing emphasis on that.

Captain America could also be a massive hit and fire on all cylinders, and capture the public's attention enough to make Chris Evans into an overnight superstar. Maybe this is what they are hoping for. That's what happened with Michael Keaton and Christian Bale in the Batman role.
Seems like a big bet though, since Avengers will probably be in production before Captain America hits theaters.
