Actor Dominic Cooper has mentioned on previous occasions that he's set to reprise his role as inventor Howard Stark from 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger in the 2014 sequel, subtitled The Winter Soldier. But the British thespian recently admitted to confusion about his inclusion.
"Well, I kind of am, I never know what to say about this," Cooper told UK TV show This Morning, this morning. "But I have definitely put the costume on. I have worn the costume and we have shot something, but how it's going to enter into the next phase of what they are planning I don't know. I sound so dodgy, I don't even believe myself! I have shot some scenes." It seems Dominic was either uninformed that his scene(s) will appear as flashbacks, or there is something bigger in store for the late father of 'Iron Man' Tony Stark. "I went off and shot something," he continued, "but I can't even work out how my character can be in it; wouldn't I be dead? But anything is possible. They are quite secretive about where they are going to go with the characters and how it will slot in, you have no idea. So you turn up, put your costume on and do as you are told."
