Along with The Invaders, The Howling Commandos were also announced to appear in the Captain America movie. This is my fan cast for that team.
Gen. Chester Phillips - Tommy Lee Jones (No Country for Old Men)
My other pick for Tommy Lee Jones in the Captain America movie would be Sam "Happy" Sawyer.
Nick Fury - Samuel L. Jackson (Iron Man 2)
I hope Samuel L. Jackson has a chance to step it up a bit in Captain America. He needs to see some action and lose that gut from Iron Man 2.
It has be established that Samuel L. Jackson will be in the Captain America as Nick Fury, no matter how much you guys bitch about it. I wasn't sure if they were going to have him appear at the end of the movie until I saw they were including the Howling Commandos.
Nevermind, the racist crap that comes from this, but as for the whole age thing, Nick Fury (along with others) was a given the Infinity serum that retards the aging process. It's science! Ha!
Timothy "Dum Dum" Dugan - Nick Offerman (Parks & Recreation)
Valentina "Contessa" Fontaine - Monica Bellucci (
Shoot 'Em Up)
Nobody could despute this. I don't know why you would.
Percival "Pinky" Pinkerton - Eddie Izzard (Valkyrie)
I heard an interview with him recently on CBC Radio. Although he's not the first person to come to mind when you see the character, he's still a very talented actor and would be my choice for this British soldier.
Gabriel "Gabe" Jones - Taye Diggs (Private Practice)
Dean "Dino" Manelli - Christopher Meloni (Law & Order SVU)
He's an awesome actor is everything I've seen him in whether it's from
Oz,
Wet Hot American Summer or Freak Show in
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. He would be a great addition to this cast.
Isabella "Izzy" Cohen - Sarah Polley (Splice)
The reason I changed Isadore's gender is because I thought the team could use a tough woman (so it's not such a sausage fest), I like Sarah Polley and Isadore is a weak name and easily changed to "Isabella".
Jonathan "Junior" Juniper - Shawn Hatosy (Southland)
Eric Koenig - Matthias Schweighöfer (Valkyrie)
This guy is supposed to be cast in Thor, but I haven't heard anything about his role or that he's even been confirmed. Koenig is a German, who joins the Howling Commandos.
