More bits and pieces of “The First Avenger: Captain America” cast are falling into place as Joe Johnston gears up for a July shoot in Europe.
Heat Vision blog reports that Stanley Tucci has joined the film in the role of Dr. Abraham Erskine. The role appears to be a fairly minor one, as in the comics the scientist was part of the team who developed the Super Solider, leading to the creation of Captain America. We imagine his part will be a first reel turn only.
Tucci joins Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Hugo Weaving , Dominic Cooper, Toby Jones, Sebastian Stan, Neal McDonagh, Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones in the film that will have Captain America flying around like some sort of fey outdoorsman. Captain America lands in theaters on July 22, 2011.
