James D'Arcy Joins AGENT CARTER As (Presumably) 'Jarvis'
Confirming once and for all that Tony Stark's dear old daddy will be a part of the new Marvel tv series, Variety report that Let's Be Cops actor James D'Arcy has joined the cast of Agent Carter as "Howard Stark's butler." Click on for more..
As previously reported, we'll be meeting the original, human version of Jarvis in Marvel's Agent Carter. Though he's not mentioned by name, Variety report that British actor James D'Arcy has signed on to star as Howard Stark's (we still don't know if Dominic Cooper will reprise that role) butler in Marvel's upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger spin-off series. This will almost certainly be Edwin Jarvis, who served as The Avengers faithful butler in the comics, but was replaced by Paul Bettany's AI version for the movies. The site don't elaborate any further though, simply stating that he'll be an ally of Hayley Atwell's Peggy Carter. D'Arcy was last seen as the villain in Let’s Be Cops, and he'll also have a role in Warner Bros.' upcoming sci-fi flick, Jupiter Ascending.
