Meet Tony Stark's Dad. Again.

The prequel aspect of Captain America proves you have to Stark somewhere.

When I overheard Dominic Cooper had been cast as Howard Stark in Captain America: The First Avenger, I thought - what Bradley Cooper?  Then I heard the name again and thought - what Dominic Monaghan?

Then Matt Patches threw a neo-otyugh at my head and said, "douchebag!  Dominic Cooper!  The guy from An Education."

I get confused easily.

Yes, friends, Howard Stark, played by Gerard Sanders in Iron Man and, a little more tipsily, by John Slattery in Iron Man 2, will be back in Captain America and this time he'll be played by Dominic Cooper, a British actor with a very Yahoo Buzz-worthy name.

If the storyline continues its implications from The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2, you can expect to see the elder Stark greatly involved in the development of Cap's super soldier serum.
