Having played Howard Stark in Captain America, it would usually be safe to assume that Dominic Cooper would be returning for the sequel. But given that this sequel is taking place many decades after the original, it's a little more up in the air than usual. The actor himself, talking to Screen Invasion, has admitted things are still just a little up in the air.
“I don't know if I'm going to... yeah, there was talk of it, and now I don't know whether I can, which will be really annoying because I loved being part of those".
He went on to say that "You know, I think it was such an incredible time, and I think – you know the first one – they did such an incredible job of it. So I will try my hardest to get Stark back into a flashback sequence or some description, but it's proving rather difficult in terms of scheduling at the moment".
As hinted above, Cooper is a very busy man indeed at the moment with promotional duties on Dead Man Down underway. He also has Summer In February out this year as well as three projects in pre-production, including Need For Speed and the TV mimi-series about Ian Fleming where he'll be playing the lead. Fingers crossed he can find the time to squeeze in some work on Captain America: The Winter Soldier though.
