Hayley Atwell Hints Dominic Cooper’s Return As Howard Stark In Marvel’s Agent Carter!

Actor Dominic Cooper (Need For Speed) will reprise his role as Howard Stark in Marvel's Agent Carter. Cooper joins Hayley Atwell as they continue Peggy Carter's top-secret spy adventures.

For those who haven't seen Captain America: The First Avenger and Avengers, here is a bit a recap of what happened. Dominic Cooper played the charismatic Howard Hughes-businessman Howard Stark, Iron Man's father. Stark's inventions helped make the impenetrable shield and gadgets for Captain America. In the Marvel One-Shot flick, Agent Carter, it is revealed Stark that he is one of S.H.I.E.D.S. original co-founders.  

In an interview with Telegraph, Atwell states Cooper will join her in the upcoming television series.  She will also be trying to get back at the prankster off-camera as well.

Atwell describes Cooper as "incredibly naughty." The Captain America actress continues, "So I'm going to start the pranks as early as I can. He will come up with some very good ones too."

As reported here, Atwell said the series would look at the female protagonist through, "the complexities, the three dimensions of her. What makes her tick? What makes her crumble? What makes her crash? And the limitations of who she is, that's what makes her all the more relatable."
