Dum Dum Dugan Cast in The First Avenger?
Huge amount of Marvel movie news lately, with costume designs for both Captain America and Thor, and possible Hulk involvement, and it’s no surprise to anybody that the news is hitting fast. It’s a big few years for the Marvel crew, and we have some more possible casting news to report.
Neal McDonough is rumored to be in talks with Marvel to portray Dum Dum Dugan, a stable of any S.H.I.E.L.D./Nick Fury/Captain America/ Marvel U. comic that you may have read. And with news of Dugan’s role in The First Avenger: Captain America it leads to a little speculation on whether or not we will see Sam Jackson’s Nick Fury back in WWII with Cap and Dum Dum, some Howling Commandos action maybe? Sweet.
Splashpage.mtv reports:
McDonough would join an already impressive roster that recently added Tommy Lee Jones in a mystery role.
McDonough’s conversations with Marvel Studios have not been officially acknowledged, according to Deadline.com, but he may be the leading candidate right now to pick up a bowler hat, mustache and cigar for one of Nick Fury’s most dedicated S.H.I.E.L.D. troops.
In a list of credits that includes Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Hugo Weaving as Red Skull, Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, Sebastian Stan as Bucky and Toby Jones as Arnim Zola, McDonough would be in good company.
If you’ve seen McDonough in Band of Brothers, or Walking Tall, he is awesome. I can totally see him playing Dugan.
