Universal Soldier

Before Jean Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren where decimating highway motels there was a true Universal Soldier.  A man who would fight for your right to be free wherever you originated from. That man was Captain America.

Some new faces have been added to the cast of the movie (rumoured to be filming a lot of it's scenes in London and in Europe!), they are British actress, Hayley Atwell, who will be playing Peggy Carter (Resistance fighter, spy and may even be Cap's girlfriend in the movie). Sebastian Stan (Romanian born, American actor) will be playing James Buchanan 'Bucky' Barnes. (Try saying that in a hurry!)  Aficionados of Cap Culture will know who Mr Barnes is. For those of you not in the know; he is a fellow soldier, younger than Steve Rogers, who finds out Rogers' secret and ends up being trained by him and helping him in battle. Rounding out our trio of young faces we have Dominic Cooper who may well be playing a younger Howard Stark.

So far we have a good mix of known, not so well known and up and coming talent connected to this movie. This could bode well. And with Ant-Man and an Avengers movie also in the pipeline, this looks like a cool casting trend that is set to continue.
