Although there’s no news on what role he might play, UGO say their sources are reporting that Tommy Lee Jones is being lined up for a role in Captain America. That’ll mean he’s got quite a busy year, as he’s also supposed to be making Men In Black 3 this summer.
While he could be playing anyone in Captain America (assuming the rumous is correct), it’s difficult not to imagine Jones is going to be some sort of miltary man. After all, Captain America is going to be at least partly a World War II movie about the creation of the superhero, so there’ll need to be someone about barking orders.
If he does sign up, he’ll join Chris Evan (as the Cap), Sebastian Stan (as Bucky Barnes) and Hayley Atwell (as Peggy Carter) in Joe Johnston’s film. The movie is due out July 22nd, 2011.
The Jones involvement is only a rumours at this point, but it’s certainly tantalising.
