Salon reports that the rather delicious Dominic Cooper has been confirmed for the role of Iron Man’s father, Howard Stark.
Dominic will be playing a younger version of the character portrayed by John Slattery (Mad Men, SATC) in Iron Man 2.
Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) explained in Iron Man 2 that he was an old acquaintance of Howard Stark. Did you notice that when Fury handed over Howard's treasure chest to Tony Stark in IM2, an early prototype of Captain America's shield was inside?
Jon Favreau (Iron Man 2) suggested Howard Stark was likely involved with the Super Soldier program that gave birth to Captain America during World War II.
Captain America: The First Avenger will be released in July 2011 and is being directed by Joe Johnston (Jumanji, Jurassic Park III).
Already confirmed to star in the Marvel film are, Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Hugo Weaving, Hayley Atwell, Toby Jones, Sebastian Stan and now it also seems Dominic Cooper. It's looking pretty good, no?
