“Marvel’s Agent Carter” adds another familiar face as Dominic Cooper (“Devil’s Double,” “My Week With Marilyn”) will reprise the role of Howard Stark in the upcoming series coming to ABC in 2015!

Cooper first played Tony Stark’s father in Marvel’s “Captain America: The First Avenger” before returning for a cameo at the end of “Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter,” and now Cooper will reunite with star Hayley Atwell for “Marvel’s Agent Carter."

"Marvel's Agent Carter," starring Captain America's Hayley Atwell, follows the story of Peggy Carter. It's 1946, and peace has dealt Peggy Carter a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy must balance doing administrative work and going on secret missions for Howard Stark all while trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life--Steve Rogers. Inspired by the feature films "Captain America: The First Avenger" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," along with the short "Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter."

Starring Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter, Chad Michael Murray as SSR Agent Jack Thompson, Enver Gjokaj as SSR Agent Daniel Sousa, James D'Arcy as Edwin Jarvis, and Shea Whigham as SSR Chief Roger Dooley, "Marvel's Agent Carter" was written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Executive producers are Tara Butters, Michele Fazekas, Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, Chris Dingess, Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Alan Fine, Joe Quesada, Stan Lee and Jeph Loeb.

"Marvel's Agent Carter" is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television.

If it took this long to announce Cooper's involvement, hopefully they're holding out on announcing the Commandos and other WW2 Marvel heroes.

Marvel really dropped the ball with Howard Stark. Dominic Cooper and John Slattery are 16 years apart, they look nothing alike, sound nothing alike, and we're meant to believe they're the same character?

@yossarian Yep that is him. I was like "Howard Stark, you son of a bitch."

Why is the comments system so glitchy today?

I like it when film actors make crossovers into television programs connected to the movies. Sam Jackson and Cobie Smulders did just that in AoS, while Clark Gregg is now the main character (pretty cool).

Now if only they could convince Downey Junior to do a walk-on cameo….. not in the Iron Man suit. Just a brief appearance for a joke or two. Maybe even get his reaction to Coulson being alive?

I like this guy as Howard Stark. He's got the right appeal to play him

The comments section is quite annoying today.

^^^ Because you touch yourself at night. Don't worry. It's why it won't work for any of us. Except DoubleD. His balls haven't dropped yet.

@Steven - hahahahaha. Okay cool. I thought it was him but wasn't sure.

@santoanderson Huh? They look pretty close to me, not much of a stretch of the imagination that they could be the same guy.

That last comment was for Ruhail, but I guess it works for sKeemAn.

...assuming it even shows under his name.

I'm curious to see them explore the darker side of Howard Stark... the man who neglected Tony and obsessed only about his work and became a much tougher man

The Commandos was the best part of AOS season premier. Including some of them into the newly minted Shield would be a great tie-in between the movies and tv. Do it!

I prefer Dominic's Howard Stark to that Mad Men actor's.

Pretty sure some of the Commando's will show up in Agent Carter like they did in the flashback of last week's episode of AOS.

I assumed after seeing every howling commando in the first episode of AOS that they would all be around for Agent Carter. My hope is Agent Carter does a time jump for a 2nd season.

@santoanderson :In fact I agree with you,also they are a completely different temper: Cooper Stark basically is a 40' version of Tony while Slattery Stark is a serious and authority business man,its not credible they are the same character
