Tucci Joins 'Captain America'

According to an official announcement by Marvel Studios, Stanley Tucci (THE LOVELY BONES) has been signed to play ‘Dr. Abraham Erskine’ in CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER.
In the comics, Erskine was first known as “Dr. Reinstein”, and drawn somewhat like Albert Einstein. When re-vamped decades later, it was revealed that Reinstein was simply a code name for Erskine, an attempt to conceal the “Operation: Rebirth” super-soldier program that transformed the scrawny Steve Rogers into the perfect human fighting man. (Note: the experiment has also been called Project Rebirth)
In other CAPTAIN AMERICA news, actor Neal McDonough (TINMAN) confirmed to MTV that he was indeed signed to play ‘Dum-Dum’ Duggan in the film. He’s already begun growing the mustache, and plans to wear the character’s trademark bowler hat.
McDonough mentioned that the name of his unit, ‘The Howling Commandos’, may change for the movie, and that his contract is for more than one film.
